Nubia has officially revealed key specifications of its upcoming flagship smartphone, the Nubia NaviX Ultra in China. The device focuses on combining a high-capacity battery with a slim design, measuring just 7.62mm thick while housing a 7,100mAh silicon-carbon anode battery.
This approach addresses one of the key challenges in modern smartphone design: delivering multi-day battery capacity without significantly increasing the thickness of the device.
Hardware and Performance
The Nubia NaviX Ultra will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship platform, complemented by an advanced power management system. The smartphone will support 90W/100W wired fast charging as well as wireless charging.
For memory, Nubia has opted for LPDDR5X DRAM supplied by ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), with transmission speeds of up to 10,667Mbps.
According to an announcement from Nubia and CXMT on September 4, the smartphone will be the first mass-produced commercial handset to use domestically manufactured 10,667Mbps mobile DRAM. The development represents a significant milestone for China’s domestic high-speed semiconductor supply chain.
