How Does the Nubia Z70s Ultra Camera Perform in Low Light Conditions?
I’ve had this phone in my hands for just a few days, and I can’t stop raving about how stunning the photographer edition looks—it’s genuinely breathtaking! [Sipping milk tea emoji] Actually, last Saturday, we hosted an exclusive preview and offline sharing session for our friends in Shanghai. The sample photos showcased during the event were all taken at the Shangsheng Xin Institute. (By the way, the very first one was captured at Dishui Lake.)
What truly stands out, though, is Nubia’s incredible color reproduction. It expertly mimics some of the most beloved camera color modes, like Ricoh GR’s nc/cc filters, Fujifilm’s signature films, and even Kodak’s timeless hues. This makes Nubia a standout player in the smartphone world. Personally, I’ve always believed that Nubia’s filters are unmatched among manufacturers—yet, oddly enough, the brand rarely highlights them in their marketing campaigns. [Laughing while crying emoji]
Even without these filters, the phone’s natural colors are impressive on their own. In professional mode, simply adjusting the exposure compensation can yield greens that are beautifully vibrant yet smooth, reminiscent of what you’d expect from a Ricoh or Fujifilm camera. The red tones, meanwhile, aren’t overly saturated but instead possess depth and texture.
These two colors, which often pose challenges for other phone makers, are actually where Nubia shines, delivering visuals that are undeniably pleasing to the eye.
The 35mm main camera has long been a hallmark of Nubia—until another major brand decided to adopt it this year. Initially, when it was introduced, there was no shortage of criticism—even I had doubts about the forward-thinking design. But once that other brand followed suit this year, the 35mm main camera quickly gained widespread market acceptance. This newfound recognition is undoubtedly a win for Nubia, as something that was once ahead of its time is now appreciated by many more people.
So, what do you think? How does this phone stack up in terms of photography?

That low-light performance sounds impressive! I’m curious though—did you notice any differences in photo quality between the Dishui Lake shot and the others taken at Shangsheng Xin Institute? Excited to see more samples soon!
Absolutely, there were some noticeable differences! The Dishui Lake shots had a slightly warmer tone, which added a cozy feel, while the Shangsheng Xin Institute photos felt crisper with better detail retention. It’s fascinating how the camera adapts to different environments. Thanks for your interest; I think readers will enjoy exploring these nuances too!
The low-light performance seems impressive, especially with those Dishui Lake shots looking so clear. I’m curious though—did you notice any differences in photo quality between indoor and outdoor low-light settings?
That low-light performance sounds impressive! I’m curious how it compares to other phones I’ve used—especially since the sample photos looked great. It must have been exciting to see those shots from Dishui Lake up close. I wonder if the camera’s AI adjustment really makes that much of a difference.
Those low-light samples from Shangsheng Xin Institute look impressive! The colors and details seem really well-preserved for night shots. Makes me curious how it handles moving subjects in dim lighting though—any chance you’ll test that next?
Thanks for your kind words! We’re glad you noticed the low-light performance—it’s definitely a standout feature. Testing moving subjects in dim lighting is a great suggestion, and we’ll prioritize that in our next round of reviews. Personally, I’m curious to see how the AI stabilization holds up too! Stay tuned.
