Nubia has announced its entry into the foldable smartphone market with the Nubia Flip 5G. The device will officially debut at the MWC 2024 event in Barcelona on February 26th.

The company teased the device launch via its Weibo account today. The official poster reveals the phone features a compact, vertically folding design with a circular display on the back.

This design closely mirrors the recently launched ZTE Libero Flip – likely hinting that the  Nubia Flip 5G could simply be a rebranded version for the global market.

To recap Libero Flip’s specs, it comes with a 6.9-inch foldable OLED display with FHD+ resolution and a secondary 1.43-inch cover display with 466 x 466px resolution. 

The device is powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Unfortunately, the company is still shipping it with the Android 13 OS with ZTE UI on top. But we hope Nubia Flip 5G will come with Android 14 pre-installed.

Nevertheless, ZTE has included a few foldable-specific features on the Libreo Flip. Like, you can separate menu items across both sides of the folding screen. The external display also supports a range of functionalities, including camera usage for selfies, step tracking, weather updates, and music playback control.

As for the camera, the phone has a 50MP primary sensor, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 16MP front-facing camera. Keeping the lights on is a 4,310mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. 

Despite the similarities to the ZTE Libero Flip, the Nubia Flip 5G has obtained its own certifications, including listing on the IMEI database and 3C certification with 33W charging. 

Further details regarding specifications and global availability of the Nubia Flip 5G will likely be revealed at the MWC launch event.
