nubia Flip 5G debuts at MWC 2024
Foldables are slowly growing in popularity, and market share with more OEMs are entering the market. The latest example is the nubia Flip 5G which got its announcement at MWC and is the makerâs very first foldable phone. The device is identical to the ZTE Libero Flip which launched last week in Japan â featuring a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip, 50MP main cam and a 6.9-inch OLED screen.
Flip 5G gets a 6.9-inch foldable OLED display with 1,188 x 2,790px resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The main panel is joined by a circular 1.43-inch cover screen with 466 x 466px resolution. The secondary panel can serve as a camera viewfinder for taking selfies with the 50MP main cam and it can also be used to take calls, control media playback, show weather info, and other simple tasks.
Nubia shared its Flip 5G features a dual-rail suspended hinge that can withstand over 200,000 unfolds â thatâs more or less the industry standard for this type of device. The back of the Flip 5G features a 50MP main cam and a 2MP depth helper. The device also boasts a 16MP front-facing camera and a 4,310 mAh battery with support for 33W charging.
Pricing is confirmed to start from $599 - which would make the Flip 5G the most affordable folding phone on the market. Nubia confirmed it will be offered in black and gold colors. Sadly, nubia did not provide a launch date or market availability just yet but we can expect those details to arrive sooner or later.
