Design and Display
The Z80 Ultra has a 6.85-inch AMOLED display at 144Hz and 2000 nits peak, with no punch-hole and no notch, because the selfie camera sits under the display. Games and videos get the whole panel. The phone measures 164.5 x 77.2 x 8.6 mm and weighs 227 g, with glass on the front and back and an aluminium frame. It is IP68 and IP69 rated, so it handles dust, immersion and high-pressure water jets.
Performance
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip with up to 16GB of RAM is the fastest Android chip in a phone right now. Heavy games run at high settings without throttling, and the big battery is part of why it can hold those speeds.
Camera
- Main: 50MP f/1.7, 35mm lens, 1/1.3-inch sensor, OIS. The 35mm focal length is closer to how a real camera sees than the usual 23 to 24mm.
- Telephoto: 64MP f/2.5 periscope with 3.3x optical zoom and OIS.
- Ultrawide: 50MP f/1.8, 18mm.
- Selfie: 16MP f/2.0, under the display.
Video: 8K at 30fps, 4K at 120fps, 10-bit video, HDR10. The under-display selfie camera is fine for video calls and weak for photos, so say it plainly: do not buy this phone for selfies.
Battery and Charging
The 7,200mAh battery charges at 90W wired and 80W wireless. That is a serious combination, with two days for light users, and wireless charging this fast is rare.
Software
The phone runs Android 16 with Nebula AIOS 2. The software is less polished than Samsung’s or Google’s, and buyers who care about software should know that before paying.
Price in Pakistan
The Z80 Ultra is priced at Rs. 278,999 Expected for the 16GB + 512GB variant, converted from Bangladesh unofficial pricing. The 12GB + 512GB and 16GB + 1TB variant prices are not yet confirmed. Pakistani retailers list it lower, at Rs. 210,000 to 252,500, so shop around before paying the converted figure.

Buying in Pakistan

- Confirm the warranty.
- Confirm PTA status via DIRBS.
- Note that this phone has no NFC, which matters for payments, so check whether that affects you.
Final Verdict: A camera-first flagship with a true full screen
For a buyer who wants a camera-first flagship with a clean full screen and a huge battery, this is a strong pick at the price. For software polish or NFC payments, look elsewhere.
