The $600 Android flagship with an invisible selfie camera, almost zero display borders, and pro-level cameras makes Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro look more overpriced than ever!
Nobody knows the right recipe for making an amazing smartphone mostly because different users value a different set of features. The general consensus, however, is that a great phone must have a great display, great cameras, great performance, a long-lasting battery, and last but certainly not least,
While mid-range phones like the Pixel 6a, Galaxy A54, and iPhone SE manage to challenge expensive flagships with top-notch performance (iPhone SE), amazing endurance (Galaxy A54), and even exceptional photography (Pixel 6a), in order to truly push the boundaries, a “flagship-killer” must try a little harder and cost a little more.
If you’ve ever looked at a flagship phone like the Galaxy S23 Ultra and asked yourself whether making such a beast of a phone for half the price was possible, then this new Android challenger might catch your attention! It’s called the ZTE Nubia Z50 Ultra, and despite the somewhat uninspiring name, it might be my favorite non-foldable phone on the market that you “can’t buy” right now.
ZTE is one of the pioneers of under-display selfie cameras, which might be why the 4th gen under-display selfie shooter here is literally impossible to see – take notes, Galaxy Z Fold 4. Of course, all under-display cameras have one downside in common, which is the barely passable image quality, so forget about the Nubia Z50 Ultra if you are a vlogger or an influencer.
That being said, the completely uninterrupted display of the Nubia Z50 Ultra isn’t where the design marvels end. Just take a look at the back of the phone! I don’t know about you, but I haven’t seen such a unique-looking rear look in a while.
