If you’re looking for a powerful smartphone that doesn’t compromise on camera, battery, or design – Nokia is back with a bang! The upcoming Nokia X50 Ultra 5G is making waves globally and is set to launch in South Africa soon.
Packed with a jaw-dropping 200MP Zeiss-powered camera, a massive 7500mAh battery, and blazing-fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 performance, the Nokia X50 Ultra is here to compete with the big brands – at a price that’s expected to be more affordable for South African users.
Let’s take a closer look at what this beast brings to the table.
200MP Zeiss Camera – DSLR Quality in Your Pocket
One of the biggest highlights of the Nokia X50 Ultra is its quad rear camera setup, featuring a 200MP main sensor co-engineered with Zeiss optics. This means super-detailed, high-resolution photography whether you’re capturing sunsets over Cape Town or wildlife in Kruger.
Additional sensors include:
- 28MP Ultra-Wide
- 12MP Telephoto

And on the front? A powerful 64MP selfie camera for crystal-clear video calls and social media shots.
7500mAh Battery with 120W Fast Charging
Gone are the days of daily charging. The X50 Ultra boasts a massive 7500mAh battery, giving you up to 2 days of battery life on a single charge – perfect for road trips, festivals, or heavy gaming sessions.
Even better, it supports 120W ultra-fast charging, meaning you can go from 0 to 100% in under 30 minutes. No more waiting around!
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 + 12GB RAM = Elite Performance
Under the hood, this device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, coupled with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB internal storage.
