The Nubia Z60 Ultra special edition has arrived, and it is turning heads with its dragon-themed design and flagship-grade hardware. Unveiled to celebrate the Chinese New Year, the Nubia Z60 Ultra Year of the Dragon Limited Edition builds on the acclaimed standard model that launched in December, adding exclusive cosmetic touches that make it a collector's item for tech enthusiasts.
- The Nubia Z60 Ultra special Year of the Dragon edition celebrates Chinese New Year with a bold black-and-gold colorway, red accents, and a themed unboxing experience including a magnetic case, stand, and accessories.
- Specs remain top-tier: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a triple 50/50/64 MP rear camera system, 6.8-inch 120Hz OLED display, and a massive 6,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging — all wrapped in an IP68-rated body.
Nubia Z60 Ultra Special Edition Design and Unboxing
The Year of the Dragon Limited Edition retail box is a celebration in itself. Inside, buyers receive the Nubia Z60 Ultra in a striking black-and-gold finish, a magnetic case, a charging cable, a power adapter, a SIM ejector pin, and a magnetic stand. True to the dragon theme, the USB cable and case arrive in vivid red, while the stand, SIM ejector pin, and power adapter keep things sleek in black. This is a refined take on the standard black variant, with red accents replacing the usual neutral touches — a nod to the colour of luck and celebration in Chinese culture.
Red Magic, Nubia's gaming sub-brand, has also launched the Red Magic 9 Pro with a similar Year of the Dragon theme, showing just how committed the company is to this limited-edition push.
Nubia Z60 Ultra Special Edition Price and Availability
Nubia has not officially disclosed the price of the Nubia Z60 Ultra special Year of the Dragon Limited Edition, though sales are set to begin on January 24.
