nubia, a ZTE sub-brand, has introduced a new smartphone with a mouthful of a name: the nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Version.

As you might expect, it’s based on the existing Z60 Ultra. But for the nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Version, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset has been overclocked. The prime Cortex-X4 CPU is at 3.4GHz (from 3.3GHz) while the Adreno 750 GPU is at 1GHz (from ~770MHz).

This upgraded CPU will help the device perform AI tasks better. In fact, the device’s webpage is riddled with the word “AI”. It’s found in the performance department, battery life and of course, in photography with its AI Magic Eraser, AI Sky, and AI Blur features.

Speaking of photography, another key difference between the non-Leading Version is the main camera. It now uses a 50-megapixel IMX906 sensor, versus the IMX800 of the former.

Other than the said features, and new color options, everything else is the same. It still has a 6.8-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen with an under-display selfie camera, a large 6,000mAh battery, and 80W wired charging.

It also has a robust metallic body with a special sliding button.
