Mobile phone photography is becoming more and more volatile, but it is also gradually homogeneous, after all, excellent hardware is more homogeneous. But is it possible to go the other way? Nubia has firmly made a new possibility starting with the Z30 series – a 35mm main camera.
Today's article may be different from the usual, but we will focus on the following questions:
- Can you not use "one inch" or a regular main camera?
- What are the characteristics of the Z60Ultra in the eyes of photographers?
- Can ordinary people take professional photos with this phone?
- What is Humanities?
Is it okay not to use "one inch"?
Before we talk about this, let's take a look at the phone's image configuration:
18mm ultra-wide-angle lens: 1/1.55 type OV50E sensor, 50 million pixels, F1.8 aperture, OIS stabilization (physical focal length approx. 4.4mm, aperture F7.4 equivalent)
35mm wide-angle lens: 1/1.49 type IMX800 sensor, 54 million pixels, F1.59 aperture, OIS stabilization (actual use of 1/1.56 type size, approx. 50 million pixels, physical focal length 8.29mm, equivalent aperture F6.7)
85mm medium telephoto lens: 1/2 type OV64B sensor, 64 million pixels, F3.3 aperture, OIS stabilization (physical focal length 15.98mm, equivalent aperture F17.6)
It's a very different configuration from other brands, and it's a completely different focal length selection. So a 24mm Type 1 sensor is not appropriate for a direct comparison with this 35mm Type 1/1.56 sensor, which looks like using a wide-angle camera area to compare a portrait camera area.
So why use a 35mm equivalent focal length? We think that's the core idea of this phone! Is the 35mm angle of view better and easier to use than the 24mm view? The answer is obvious, a relatively narrower angle of view is easier to avoid clutter caused by too much content.
35mm is still a wide angle in the definition of photography, which is more able to bring the environment into the picture than the classic 50mm focal length or 85mm focal length in photography, and bring the scene and story to the subject to be expressed in the picture. So this is what the master said, the focal length that can tell the most story.
As we can see from the live shots, the Z60 Ultra's 35mm main camera has a lot of detail. During the day, the resolution is excellent, and the texture on the sauce is clearly visible.
Looking at the branches in the large backlit environment, there is no obvious dispersion, and some dark details are retained under the large light ratio, and the play is stable.
So what to do if you need a 24mm focal length to shoot, just use the 18mm wide angle. This time, Nubia has greatly upgraded the performance of the wide-angle lens, and greatly corrected the distortion of the 18mm wide-angle lens, so that the usability of the wide-angle lens has been improved, so as to better meet the needs of wide-angle large-scale multi-content recording.
In the 18mm wide-angle sample, we can see that this wide-angle lens has excellent quality, both in terms of latitude and resolution, as well as dispersion control at large light ratios, which are quite usable, thanks to Nubia's strong upgrade in the wide angle this time, the results are immediate.
It is worth noting that when the main camera shoots at close range, the phone will automatically switch to the 18mm wide-angle end for macro shooting, and you can see that the wide-angle macro performance is rich in detail, thanks to the wide-angle lens of this main camera, both color and resolution, are far beyond ordinary wide-angle lenses.
Although the 85mm telephoto does not support macro, we found that the 85mm telephoto switches to the 35mm main camera when shooting at close range, and the main camera also seems to have a good close-up shooting performance.
Let's take a look at the performance of this 85mm telephoto lens, this 85mm telephoto lens, can easily cut the space, give the subject a clean background, or take the focus in the complex picture to complete the concise photographic expression.
However, due to the size of the periscope head, the ISO is increased in night scenes and low light. But even so, the 85mm periscope telephoto performance in night scenes is fully usable, and we feel that the picture is full of a sense of story during street sweeping.
We also tried the portrait performance of the 85mm lens, what do you think of the built-in beauty effect?
What does it look like in the eyes of photographers?
As a photographic media, there is always a preference for mobile phones that respect the habits of photographers, for example, directly expressing the change of lens magnification with the focal length value, which is very suitable for the operation behavior of selecting the lens according to the focal length value and switching it in the use of SLR.
As street sweeping, humanities, portrait photography, 35mm prime and 85mm prime are two very commonly used lenses, Nubia accurately customizes these two focal length lenses, and clearly marks the focal length value to facilitate switching, this feeling is very DSLR with two fixed focal length lenses when shooting portrait humanities.
In the shooting and use, we also noticed that the Nubia Z60Ultra four narrow edges + under-screen camera brought the "true full screen" shock, and the perception is still very strong.
Except for some slight differences in the white highlight scene, in most cases, the display effect of the camera part under the screen is almost perfect, and there is no more trouble with watching photos or playing games, "punching" and "pills". The technology of the under-screen camera is really usable.
With a long shooting time and a body weight of 246g, the perception is still quite obvious. However, when I think of the battery configuration of up to 6000mAh, there is no battery life anxiety at all for heavy travel shooting, and during the shooting of our measured samples, one and a half hours of high-intensity shooting, the front desk of the camera runs for more than an hour, and the power is reduced by 17%, which is excellent. It is very suitable for traveling and shooting.
At first glance, the outrageous camera arrangement hides 3 lenses with OIS optical image stabilization. Due to the electromagnetic interference caused by the close proximity of the OIS components, the camera layout had to be separated, and Nubia cleverly designed it into the shape of a camera.
Equipped with OIS, whether it is shooting videos or taking pictures, the production rate has been greatly improved, and we even tried to shoot the Hongya Cave on the speeding yellow Ferrari, and the stabilization effect is remarkable.
Can the average person take professional photos with it?
In fact, we all know that it is difficult for ordinary people without photography technology to take professional photos only through, the quality of a photographic equipment, but Nubia obviously hopes to reduce the difficulty of photography to a certain extent, we see that on the Z60Ultra, the 35mm lens appears as the main camera, giving users a lower composition threshold from the focal length level, so that the recording at hand is more tasteful.
With an enhanced 85mm periscope telephoto, say goodbye to cluttered backgrounds and take two steps back for clean portrait photography.
The camera family integrates a large number of light painting, focusing, star tracks, etc., and is a one-click shooting fun version of professional photography.

They may be some of the shooting techniques that high-end photographers will use, and at the same time, they may take a lot of shooting time, Nubia has simulated them for us in a low-threshold form through algorithms, so that mobile phones can also feel the fun of slow door photography to a certain extent.
Nubia undoubtedly understands photography, and it has carved out a new path from the involution of mobile phone images, which is to bring a smooth and easy-to-use photography experience with more reasonable focal length distribution and balanced multi-camera, and the Z60Ultra has undoubtedly done a very good job in this price segment.
What exactly is humanities?
The so-called humanistic photography is photography that reflects the cultural state of human life, and for users, it is to record people and life. Taking photos of life records the past and retains time.
Humanistic photography freezes the beautiful people and scenery in the long river of time.
We may not be able to take professional photos because of a single device, Nubia does hope that through its own professionalism and efforts, it can help users record a more beautiful life.
Review
The Nubia Z60 Ultra is a flagship phone that is very unique in terms of lens configuration and form factor. Rather than simply discussing the image quality itself, Nubia is more concerned about how users can shoot more easily. With his own understanding and professionalism of photography, relying on the unique scheme of 35mm humanities + 85mm portrait lens, he helps users reduce the difficulty of shooting and improve the shooting level from the focal length. At the same time, the configuration of Snapdragon 8Gen3 + true full screen under the screen + 6000mAh has also laid the cornerstone of excellent daily experience as a flagship mobile phone. In this price segment, it is an excellent photography flagship phone with a very high cost performance.
Merit:
1. The camera focal length is more reasonable and professional
2. The under-screen camera has an excellent look and feel of the complete and full screen
3. Snapdragon 8 Gen3 + 6000mAh battery has excellent daily experience
Shortcoming:
1. The fuselage is on the heavy side
2. The telephoto lens is not a big improvement compared to the previous generation
