The Nubia Z80 Ultra already leaked a few times, and we now have an official launch date to look forward to. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship is set to launch in China on October 22. Nubia also went ahead and showcased the device in all its glory, confirming its design.

Nubia Z80 Ultra will feature a similar look to last year’s Z70 Ultra but we can see the camera island will feature a reshuffled look with main and ultrawide lenses on the top, while the periscope zoom module sits below. The two sides of the camera island also taper to the sides of the phone’s back.
Z80 Ultra will be available in Light White, Phantom Black and a Vincent van Gogh-inspired Starry Sky Collector’s Edition.
Updated 18mm equivalent ultrawide lens with a 1/1.55-inch sensor, 7P lens elements and a coated IR filter. It will be joined by a 35mm main camera using a 1/1.3” Omnivision 990 sensor.
The only detail we have for the third sensor is that it will feature a 50x hybrid zoom with OIS, which matches the Z70 Ultra and Z70S Ultra, meaning it could very well be the same 64MP module with a 2.7x optical zoom.
Nubia also shared some sample images from the device with varying focal ranges, going from 18mm all the way to 140mm.
