Nubia has launched the Nubia Z50 Ultra, its second flagship device powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The most notable feature of this device has got to be its under-display selfie camera which makes the display virtually full-screen with ultra-thin bezels. 

According to Nubia's official Weibo page, the selfie camera itself is a custom 16MP OmniVision OV16E1Q camera with a 2.24μm pixel size. Nubia said that it has increased the light transmission of the under-display camera by 30 per cent and fine-tuned the AI super-sensing engine, allowing for better-quality shots. Moreover, there’s also an image super-transparency enhancement technology which increases transparency by 50 per cent for video calls.

As for the display, it’s a 6.8-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with a resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels and a touch sampling rate of 960Hz. It has a peak brightness of 1500 nits, 1440Hz PWM dimming, 10-bit colours and a 100 per cent DCI-P3 colour gamut.
