Nubia Flip 5G was announced as the first foldable smartphone from the ZTE owned brand at the Mobile World Congress 2024 (MWC) event in Barcelona on Tuesday (February 27). The clamshell foldable features a 6.9-inch foldable OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and runs on Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. The Nubia Flip 5G carries a 4,310mAh battery supporting 33W fast charging. It is expected to compete with Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, Motorola Razr 40 Ultra, and Tecno Phantom V Flip 5G when it goes on sale.
Nubia Flip 5G price
The price of Nubia Flip 5G will start from $599 (roughly Rs. 50,000). This initial price tag would make it a budget foldable phone. For comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 with a similar vertical display has a starting price tag of $999 (roughly Rs. 82,000) in the US, while the Oppo Find N3 Flip’s price starts at CNY 6,799 (roughly Rs. 77,000) in China.
