The Nubia Flip 5G shares the same design cues as the existing crop of flip phones, albeit with some characteristics of its own. The main 6.9-inch foldable internal display supports a 120Hz refresh rate and boasts a resolution of 1,188 x 2,790 pixels. Then there is the smaller circular external display that is only 1.43 inches across, which makes it good enough only to be used as a media controller and perform simple tasks like taking selfies (by using it as a viewfinder) and checking notifications.
The camera setup on the device includes twin 50MP rear-facing cameras and a 16MP front-facing camera. The folding nature of the phone endows it with the capability to take multi-angle shots using the front camera.

The Nubia Flip 5G doesn’t have any flagship ambitions and comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip, which is the same chipset used on the current generation Motorola Razr. The phone also suffers from the same issues as its other flip-styled brethren, with the most notable one being the lower-than-average battery capacity, which on this device stands at 4310mAh. The phone supports 33W fast charging as well.
As already mentioned, pricing for the Nubia Flip 5G starts at $599. With Nubia’s parent company, ZTE banned in the U.S., the chances of this device officially making it to the U.S. remain slim.
