Why buy the Nubia Z70 Ultra
- Still a very fast phone. The Snapdragon 8 Elite was the top Android chip for most of 2025 and handles heavy games and video editing with ease.
- Uninterrupted screen. With the front camera under the panel, the 144Hz display has no hole or notch to distract you during films.
- Proper aperture control. The main lens can stop down from f/1.6 to f/4.0, giving more depth of field for group photos and a more natural look on bright days.
- Tough for a flagship. IP68 and IP69 cover dust, rain and high-pressure water, handy for boda boda commutes in the long rains.
- Lots of storage choice. Up to 1TB, which helps since there is no card slot.

Verdict: The Z70 Ultra 12GB/256GB at KSh 90,499 is a fair buy if your budget stops there.
