The nubia Flip 5G fits in as a strong contender for the most affordable flip foldable in the world (although Tecno’s Phantom V Flip may have a say in that).
The nubia Flip starts at £361 for the 8/256GB model and goes up to £505 for the 12/512GB model. The retail package is solid with a two-piece case featuring the nubia logo, a 33W charger, and a USB cable. Many more expensive foldables include much less in the box.
Unbox the nubia Flip
What makes the nubia Flip interesting, apart from its competitive price, is the fact that it is one of the largest in its category. When unfolded, it features a 6.9-inch display, while the battery is also one of the largest in its class at 4,310 mAh.
On a negative note, the nubia Flip is probably the heaviest foldable flip at 214g.
The cover screen
We conclude this quick unboxing with a word about the build quality. The nubia Flip exudes quality. The metal frame has a matte textured finish that reminds us of the Titanium Galaxy S24 Ultra. The outer glass panels are also matte, rounding off the non-gloss exterior.
Finally, the power button is a sexy red accent – something our MWC 2024 hands-on unit didn’t have.
