Nubia update problem
I checked the announcement and release dates for the Nubia Z70S, as well as the Z60 Ultra and Neo 3 GT 5G. For some reason, I forgot an important detail this morning.
EU Regulation 2023/1670 was issued on June 20, 2025. It requires security updates to occur no later than 2 months after the release of a patch from Google.
Unfortunately, we have the following situation (based on requests and popular phones in the community):
- Nubia Z80 Ultra - announced October 22, 2025 / global launch - November 6, 2025(will receive security updates every 2 months for 5 years)
- Nubia Neo 3[GT] - announced March 03, 2025/global launch June ?, 2025(Corrected*)(Yes, upd. every 2 months for 5 years)
- Nubia Z70S Ultra - announced April 28, 2025 /global launch April 28, 2025.(No)
- Nubia Z70 Ultra - 2024.(No)
- Nubia Z60 Ultra - 2023.(No)

Unfortunately, only the Z80 Ultra, Neo 3[GT] and newer models, officially sold in Europe, will receive regular security updates. This does not apply to MyOS/AIOS updates (ZTE decides when to release them, and the regulations do not regulate this).
All models after June 20, 2025... unfortunately, ZTE will decide when and what to update. There is no leverage over this, as happened with the Z80 Ultra when I spoke with ZTE Global. This is very unfortunate.
We will monitor updates for the Z80 Ultra, Neo 3[GT] and newer models(check information on "GSMArena", "EPREL") to ensure they are released on time.
P.s. I will send a list of all models(This isn't related to Redmagic. They have their own community) that will have 5 years of security support every 2 months:

(If you're planning on buying a new ZTE/Nubia phone and don't see it on this list, think twice. Do you need security updates every two months, or are you buying hardware and don't care?)
