A Christmas miracle? There’s a phone that apparently made $140 million in… one second

It's that time of year again when we remember the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and reflect on the moral of “A Christmas Carol”: “There is nothing harder than poverty; and there is nothing he claims to condemn with such severity as the pursuit of wealth!

Now we're going to talk a little more about money: China's latest Terminator, the Nubia Z60 Ultra, apparently made a lot of money when it debuted.

Head down to the basement, dig out your salt stash, and get ready to take a big bite, because Gizmochina reports crazy numbers. Initial sales of the flagship Nubia Z60 Ultra surpassed $140 million in revenue in “a single second,” but no sources are cited – that's where the salt comes in.

The Nubia Z60 Ultra is available in several variants in China, such as 12GB/256GB (~$601), 16GB/512GB (~$658), 16GB/1TB (~$740), and 24GB/ 1TB (~$839) and if these rumors are true, that would make it the most popular phone right now.

The camera-centric phone packs three main cameras: an 18mm ultra-wide lens, a 35mm “street photography” lens, and an 85mm telephoto lens.

The rest is pretty impressive too: the phone packs a 6.8-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Below the display is a 12-megapixel selfie camera and sensor fingerprints. It comes preinstalled with My OS 14, based on Android 14.

Under the hood, the Nubia Z60 Ultra brings the raw power experience of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, fast LPDDR5x RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage. It has a massive 6,000mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging. There's no support for wireless charging on the device, but you'll get over it, won't you? not ?
