ZTE’s nubia Z60 Ultra is now up for pre-order in America and Europe, shipping starting December 29th. It is available in black and silver, along with a special edition inspired by Van Gogh’s painting. The starry night. This is exactly the version used by the team WekiHome took it apart to see what makes this camera-obsessed flagship tick.
What do the oddly shaped camera islands mean, and why do they stick out so much (and at various heights)? To find out, the first thing to do is remove the glass panel (this one in particular is covered with the famous scrolls).
Everything is packed into the top third of the phone: the cameras and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-based motherboard. Below that is the large 6,000 mAh battery. As you can see, there is no wireless charging coil, but the engineers put a lot of effort into letting the heat escape to the outside.
The camera setup of the nubia Z60 Ultra is interesting for many reasons, including the fact that all three modules are equipped with OIS, even the 100° ultra wide-angle one. This may be why the cameras are spaced apart, the magnets and coils of each OIS module may interfere with those of a neighboring module if they are too close.
The back of the camera modules is also covered with copper foil to dissipate heat – modern sensors generate a certain amount of heat. The vapor chamber which on the Z60 Ultra is smaller than that of the Z50 Ultra, bets on the efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to keep the system cool.
