Nubia has officially expanded its foldable smartphone lineup, unveiling two new devices. The first is a Galaxy Z Fold 7-like notebook style Nubia Fold, while the other is a clamshell folding flip phone dubbed the Nubia Flip 3. Ahead of the official launch, the company has revealed nearly everything about these foldable devices, so let’s check it out.

Nubia Fold: Brand’s Premium Foldable

The Nubia Fold is Nubia’s first book-style foldable, arriving as its flagship foldable offering. It sports an 8-inch foldable OLED main display with a resolution of 2480 × 2200 and delivers a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, the secondary panel is a 6.5-inch OLED panel with a 2748×1172 resolution and also runs at 120Hz.

Under the hood, the Nubia Fold is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is last year’s flagship chip from Qualcomm. This is coupled with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. A massive 6,500mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 55W wired fast charging.

For photography, the rear has a 50MP main camera that is coupled with a 50MP ultra wide angle lens, and a 5MP macro shooter. You get a 20MP camera on the main and cover display for selfies and video calls. Other notable features include WiFi 7, Bluetooth 6, IPX4 and IP5X rating for water and dust resistance, a fingerprint scanner, and a hefty 249 gram body.

Nubia Flip 3: Affordable Flip Phone

On the flip side (literally), Nubia Flip 3 offers a more compact and budget-oriented foldable option. It features a 6.9-inch foldable OLED inner screen with Full HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The cover screen is a smaller 4-inch AMOLED panel that can display quick notifications, act as a camera viewfinder, and more.

Unlike its more expensive sibling, the Flip 3 packs the MediaTek Dimensity 7400X, which is a processor that typically powers mid range devices. You also get 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. A smaller 4,610mAh cell powers this device. The rear has a 50MP main camera and a 12MP ultra wide angle lens, while the selfie shooter is a 32MP sensor. Other notable features include Bluetooth 6, WiFi 6, IPX4 and IP5X rating for protection against the elements.

Pricing and Availability

Nubia is expected to roll out both foldables soon. The Nubia Fold is set to debut in Japan tomorrow (4th December 2025) with a 178,560 Yen price tag, which is roughly around 1,145 US Dollars. This model will likely see a broader release next year. Meanwhile, the Nubia Flip 3 might go on sale in January 2026 as well, with a global launch also expected to follow soon after. The Nubia Fold comes in a single black color option, but the Nubia Flip 3 is listed in white and black variants.

Nubia looks set to expand its foldable lineup in a big way. A new leak from Evan Blass has revealed two upcoming devices — the company’s first book-style foldable and the next entry in its clamshell series.

Until now, Nubia has only released flip-style foldables, with two generations already out. The newly leaked Nubia Fold changes that. The images show a full-size book-style model that puts Nubia directly up against Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and other big names in the category.

The inner display shows off uniform bezels. Flip it over, and things get eye-catching: a massive camera island taking up nearly a third of the back, with three circular lens cutouts, a ring light, a pill-shaped flash, and some branding off to the right. The whole module sticks out quite a bit too, giving the phone a noticeably chunky camera setup for a first-gen book-style foldable.

That said, one of those “lens” cutouts might be purely cosmetic — there is a common practice of adding decorative openings, as seen on the RedMagic 11 Pro+.

The tipster also shared some schematics of the book-style foldable that reveal a centered punch-hole selfie camera on the outer display, a top-right punch-hole selfie camera on the inner display, along with the placements for the speakers, microphones, SIM tray, and USB-C port.

The second device, the Nubia Flip 3, continues the company’s habit of redesigning its flip phone every generation. The first model had a circular cover display; the Flip 2 switched to a tall rectangular one; and now the Flip 3 render shows a full-width outer screen that wraps around the dual cameras. It looks somewhat similar to the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 – just one of the cutouts is much smaller than the other on Nubia’s design.

One interesting detail is the dual-LED flash, which sits on the lower half of the back instead of next to the camera module. Honor made a similar choice on the Magic V Flip 2, and while the placement will look odd and somewhat less practical to some, it does clear up space for the larger cover display.

There’s still no word on specs or pricing, and the launch timeline is wide open. Nubia could announce these devices before the end of 2025, or hold them for early 2026. To recall, the first- and second-gen flip models launched in February 2024 and January 2025, respectively. Either way, the leak makes it clear the brand is gearing up to push into both major foldable categories at once.
