Nubia finally has its own folding book. He Nubia Fold It has been officially presented in Japan as the brand's first mobile of this format, focused on offering a large screen, powerful hardware and a significantly larger battery than usual in this type of device.
The device arrives with a slim design for a foldable, a single black finish and a single configuration with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. For now, It has only been announced for Japanbut the brand itself hints that its international expansion could occur throughout 2026, so it is worth keeping track of it.
Large screens and an unusual battery
The Nubia Fold is committed to a classic book-type format, with a 8-inch foldable OLED main screen and resolution of 2,480 x 2,200 pixels. This is complemented by a 6.5-inch exterior screen, also OLED, with a resolution of 2,748 x 1,172 pixels. Both panels offer a 120Hz refresh rateand the interior panel allows you to use two applications in parallel thanks to a split screen mode, designed for multitasking.
In terms of dimensions, the foldable is 160 x 144 x 5.4 mm when unfolded and 160 x 73 x 11.1 mm when folded, with a weight of 249 grams. It is not the lightest folding on the market, but to carry a 6560 mAh battery It's quite reasonable. In addition, it incorporates 55W fast wired charging and certification IP54 against dust and splashes, an extra that we almost take for granted in the high range.
Nubia Fold cameras and hardware
In the photographic section, the Nubia Fold relies on a triple rear module with 50 megapixel main camera with OISaccompanied by a 50-megapixel ultra-wide angle and a 5-megapixel macro sensor. There is no dedicated telephoto lens, but Nubia compensates by adding two 20-megapixel front cameras, one on the internal screen and one on the external one, so that the user can choose how to take selfies without losing quality.
The brain of the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elitea high-end chip that, although not the latest from Qualcomm, still offers plenty of power for gaming, advanced photography, and multi-window multitasking. It is accompanied by 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, without an expansion option, in addition to complete connectivity with 5G, WiFi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, stereo speakers, side fingerprint sensor and a curious addition that Nubia continues to take care of: a infrared emitter to use your cell phone as a remote control.

A new Android rival for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7
With this Nubia Fold, the brand enters the book-type folding segment through the front door: large battery, dual 120 Hz screen and powerful hardware at a price of 178,560 JPY (equivalent to 1,145 USD), on the other hand, is lower than that of some direct rivals such as Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7. It remains to be seen how it will be distributed in Europe and what its final price will be in Spain, because that is usually the decisive factor for a foldable to go from being a curiosity to becoming a real purchase option.
If the Nubia Fold is finally officially launched in our market, it could become a very interesting alternative for those who want a large foldable without giving up autonomy. Would you consider buying the Nubia Fold if it arrived in Spain with a competitive price compared to other foldables with Android?
