In 2024, Nubia is expected to announce the Nubia Z60 Fold as its first foldable smartphone. It is expected to be a horizontally foldable device like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the OnePlus Open. A fresh report claims that the brand is also working on a vertically foldable device dubbed the Nubia Flip 5G.

Publication GSMChina has spotted the Nubia Flip 5G name and its associated model number, NX724J, in the GSMA IMEI database. While it confirms the existence of Nubia’s first flip-style foldable phone, it does not state anything about its specifications. Also, there is no concrete information about the launch timeframe of the Nubia Flip 5G. It remains to be seen whether it also features an under-display camera like the company’s recent flagships.

Apart from Nubia, brands like Xiaomi and Honor are also expected to announce their first vertically foldable smartphones in China in 2024. The Xiaomi Mix Flip may come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. While there is no information about the chipset that powers the Honor Magic Flip, it is expected to feature a 4,500mAh dual-cell battery, which will be the largest battery size in a flip-style foldable phone.

The Magic Flip is expected to debut in the first quarter of 2024, whereas the Mix Flip may arrive in the second quarter of the year. Coming back to Nubia, the brand is expected to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered Nubia Z60 Fold in Q1 2024. Unfortunately, nothing else is known about its other specifications.

In related news, Nubia has just launched the Nubia Z60 Ultra flagship phone. Priced at 4,299 Yuan (~Rs 50,450), it comes equipped with an under-display camera, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, up to 24 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage, 50-megapixel triple cameras, and a 6,000mAh battery with 80W charging.
