There Are Very Few Quality Foldable Phones That Give You a Bang for Your Buck. The Nubia Flip 5G Wants to Be One of Them

Its price starts at $499 and it has a Qualcomm processor.

The recently launched Nubia Flip 5G is one of the phone market’s most accessible foldable clamshell alternatives. It's irrefutable proof that if we want phones in this format at a lower price, manufacturers have to move away from the high-end range. And no, this doesn’t have to be a negative thing.

These are the specs of the new Nubia Flip 5G, a phone with a Qualcomm processor and an incredibly thoughtful design. It starts at $499.

A Foldable Phone With a Lot of Personality

The back of the Nubia Flip 5G is quite different from what we’ve seen so far in flip phone proposals. It has a huge circular module, although the cameras don’t have large sensors. This module not only hides the 50 + 2 MP dual camera but also contains a tiny 1.43-inch display.

The purpose of this phone isn’t to have a large secondary screen that you access when the phone is folded, but rather to provide a quick way to access essential elements such as the time of day, calls, and basic apps like timer and audio playback, among others. Its design is a way to limit the device’s price and to differentiate itself from its competitors with a simple but valuable proposal.

The main screen is quite large at 6.9 inches, with Full HD+ resolution, OLED technology, and a high refresh rate of 120 Hz. The front bezels are narrow on the sides and slightly thicker on the top and bottom. There’s also a notch that houses the front camera.

A base configuration of 8 GB + 256 GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor complete the hardware, which is more than enough for a mid-range device. This foldable phone, which runs Android 14, is powered by a 4,310 mAh battery that offers 33W fast charging.

Nubia Flip 5G Price and Availability

The 8 + 256 GB Nubia Flip 5G starts at $499, while the more ambitious combination, 12 + 512 GB, starts at $699.
