Why buy the Nubia Z80 Ultra
- Newest Snapdragon chip. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is Qualcomm’s 2025-2026 flagship, so apps, games and editing feel fast and will stay that way for years.
- Screen with nothing in the way. The selfie camera sits under the panel, so films and games fill the whole 6.85-inch display.
- A camera made for street and travel shots. The 35mm main lens frames scenes the way many photographers prefer, and the 2.7x periscope helps with portraits and distant detail.
- Battery that outlasts most flagships. 7,200mAh is larger than the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s, and 80W wireless charging is rare at any price.
- IP68 and IP69. It handles dust, rain, spills and even pressure washing, useful if you are often outdoors or on a building site.

Nubia Z80 Ultra vs Nubia Z70 Ultra
| Nubia Z70 Ultra (2024) | Nubia Z80 Ultra (2025) | |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 |
| Main camera sensor | 50MP 1/1.56″ | 50MP 1/1.3″ with OIS |

| Avechi price | From KSh 90,499 (12GB/256GB) | KSh 106,799 |
Verdict: The Z80 Ultra is the clear upgrade, with a newer chip, a bigger main sensor, over 1,000mAh more battery and wireless charging. If you want the same design and screen for about KSh 16,000 less, the Z70 Ultra is still a fast phone, but it starts one Android version behind.
