Design and Display
The Nubia NaviX Ultra pairs a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED with 1 billion colours, a 1–144Hz adaptive refresh rate, HDR Vivid and a 4,500-nit peak brightness, with 100% DCI-P3, DC dimming and 2,160Hz PWM dimming. Resolution is 1260 x 2800 (about 453 ppi). It measures 162.1 x 75.7 x 7.6 mm and weighs 208 g — thin for a phone carrying a 7100mAh battery. The build is a glass front with an aluminium frame, and the pill-shaped camera island sits top-left with a silver surround. An orange AI button on the side doubles as a fingerprint sensor, and there is an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor as well. It comes in Black, Blue, Silver and Pink.
No IP rating is published anywhere for this phone, so buyers should not assume any water or dust resistance. There is also no 3.5mm headphone jack — MobileDokan’s table says Yes, but it is wrong; GSMArena and MobileDokan’s own cons list agree there is none.
Performance
The NaviX Ultra runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (3 nm), an octa-core chip with 2×4.6 GHz Oryon V3 Phoenix L and 6×3.62 GHz Oryon V3 Phoenix M cores, with Adreno 840 graphics. It has 12/16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB/1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, and ships with Android 16 with Nebula AIOS 2. Connectivity covers 5G (SA/NSA), Wi-Fi 7 tri-band, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC and an IR blaster, and a 7,100mm² vapour chamber (Galaxy Cooling System) handles thermals.
The AI story is the point of this phone: system-wide AI built on ByteDance’s Doubao Mobile Assistant, with a dedicated AI button. But the assistant is China-only and the phone has no global release announced, so Pakistani buyers get a China-market device — and there are no Google Services on the China build.
Camera
- Main: 200 MP, f/1.6, (wide), 1/1.4", PDAF, OIS
- Periscope telephoto: 64 MP, (telephoto), dual-pixel PDAF, OIS, 3x optical zoom
- Ultrawide: 50 MP, f/2.0, 115°, 1/2.88", 0.61µm, AF
- Selfie: 32 MP
- Video: no recording resolution is published on record. MobileDokan and GSMArena both list video as "Yes" only — one report claims 8K, another claims 1080p@60fps; neither is authoritative, so no resolution is stated.
The 200MP main camera is the story here — MobileDokan’s table wrongly lists it as 50MP. LED flash, HDR and panorama are included.
Battery and Charging
The NaviX Ultra has a 7100mAh fifth-generation silicon-carbon Li-Ion battery, with 90W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and reverse wireless and reverse wired charging. A 7100mAh cell in a 7.6mm body is the engineering story here.
Software
The phone runs Android 16 with Nebula AIOS 2, with the Doubao Mobile Assistant built in system-wide. No update-duration promise is published on record, so we will not state one here. The assistant and several AI features are China-only, and the phone has no Google Services on its China build.
Price in Pakistan
The phone launched in China on 16 September 2026 at CNY 5,999 (12+512), CNY 6,999 (16+512) and CNY 7,499 (16+1TB) — about Rs. 248,000 / Rs. 290,000 / Rs. 310,000 — and the Pakistan listings track that closely: Rs. 249,999 / Rs. 269,999 / Rs. 309,999 (mobileinto’s variant table, with zmobiles’ own product price at Rs. 249,999 for the base). The Bangladesh glance figure converts to Rs. 267,999 — a single figure with no variant rows, so it is not the basis. There is no global release announced — Pakistani buyers are looking at a China import, so PTA status is unconfirmed and must be checked via DIRBS. One outlier listing (mobileguider) quotes Rs. 349,999–449,999 — far above every other signal and not used.
12GB + 512GB — Rs. 249,999 (Expected)
16GB + 512GB — Rs. 269,999 (Expected)
16GB + 1TB — Rs. 309,999 (Expected)

| Price | Rs. 249,999 |

Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and the exact model (NX888J) and confirm it is the NaviX Ultra, not the Z80 Ultra and not the M153.
- Confirm PTA status via DIRBS (send the IMEI to 8484) — this is a China import until ZTE announces a global release.
- Confirm the variant (12+512 vs 16+512 vs 16+1TB) matches the price asked.
- Confirm whether Google Services are present on the unit (the China build ships without them).
- Confirm the warranty terms before paying — grey-market units may carry shop warranty only.
Final Verdict: A 200MP AI flagship with a 7100mAh battery in a 7.6mm body — the most interesting ZTE in years, and a China import for now
A 200MP camera, a 7100mAh battery and a flagship chip in a 7.6mm body — the most interesting ZTE in years, and a China import for now.
