Nubia’s first folding mobile phone is very cheap
The new Nubia Flip 5G represents what many were looking for: a cheap folding mobile phone or, at least, not as expensive as the usual ones. This, with the increasingly popular flip or “clamshell” format. It therefore looks like a normal mobile phone but that you can fold to turn it into a plump box that you can take anywhere.
We therefore find a 6.9-inch main screen, OLED, with Full HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz that has the peculiarity of being able to double in half. For selfies, when it is deployed, we have a 16 megapixel main camera.
With the mobile folded, we will still have access to the small 1.43-inch external screen, circular and included in the camera module. These cameras are two: a main one of 50 megapixels and a secondary one of 2 megapixels.
As for the battery, we have a battery with a capacity of 4,310 mAh and support for 33W fast charging. The Nubia Flip 5G includes the fingerprint reader on the power button.
Unfolded, the Nubia Flip 5G measures 170 x 75.5 x 7.0 mm, so It has a very fine profile. Folded, it becomes 87.6 x 75.5 x 15.0 mm. It weighs about 209 grams.
