Earlier today, ZTE‘s Nubia held a launch event in China to debut its first foldable smartphone called the Nubia Flip. This smartphone was initially unveiled at MWC 2024 and has already claimed an iF Design Awarf to its name. What makes this device stand out from other flip smartphones is its price point. Rather than aiming at the premium segment, ZTE has debuted the Nubia Flip smartphone in the mid-range segment, making it accessible to a larger customer base.

The Nubia Flip features a traditional clamshell design with a thickness of 7.0mm when unfolded and weighs 209 grams. It has a hinge made of high-strength space-grade steel which is capable of enduring more than 200,000 times of opening and closing.

On the back, it features a round display, outlined by a ring that serves as the camera island. The round display measures just 1.43-inch and contains a 466×466 pixels AMOLED panel that allows for easy access to notifications and some basic functions of the smartphone. On the front, it features a tall 6.9-inch FHD+ (2790 × 1188 pixels) AMOLED foldable display with 120Hz refresh rate and a punch-hole in the top center that houses the front camera. The display offers 2160Hz PWM dimming and full coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut.

The phone uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC that has an Adreno 644 GPU. This processor is also present in the Moto Razr 40, which is another mid-range clamshell smartphone. The phone has launched in China in three RAM and storage configurations: 8 GB + 256 GB, 12 GB + 256 GB, and 12 GB + 512 GB. It features a 4310mAh battery with 33W fast charging support, which the brand claims can fill up the battery from 0 to 100% in about 73 minutes. The phone also has access to NFC technology.

Moving on to optics, the main camera onboard is a 50-megapixel high-definition sensor accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots. The phone houses a 16MP front camera in the punch hole, however, users can also opt to use the primary camera for selfies and video calls.

The camera system supports AI computational photography and features a comprehensively optimized Neovion Taishan AI imaging system that can instantly complete quick captures through AI motion detection, AI neural network noise reduction, and image fusion calculations. It also has a dedicated night mode to capture pictures of the vast night sky.

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Fri, 05 Apr 2024 07:33:06 +0000

There haven’t been any smartphone launches for the past several days. However, that won’t be the case in the next few days.

Three brands have scheduled events. But only one of these conferences will witness the announcement of a new product and it will be a foldable from Nubia.

On the other hand, Samsung and Infinix will bring their already official phones to India. These will be budget and mid-range models.

Let’s take a look at these handsets one by one.

Upcoming Smartphones Next Week

Samsung Galaxy M55 and Galaxy M15

Samsung has announced an event for April 8 (Monday) in India. The company will take wraps off the Galaxy M15 and the Galaxy M55, both of which went official in some markets a while back.

The Galaxy M15 comes with a 90Hz FHD+ dewdrop notched AMOLED display, a MediaTek Dimensity 6100 Plus chip, a 50MP rear camera, a 13MP selfie camera, a 6,000mAh battery, and 25W charging support.

Both of them boot Android 14 and will receive four generations of Android updates.

Nubia Flip 5G

The Nubia Flip 5G will be made official on April 9 (Tuesday). As per teaser and leaks, the device will be a rebranded ZTE Libero Flip.

The Nubia Flip 5G will launch as the brand’s first clamshell foldable smartphone. It will arrive with mid-range specs and a price to match them. It is expected to be more affordable than last year’s Motorola Razr 40.

The phone will offer a 6.9-inch main display, a 1.43-inch circular cover screen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, a 50MP rear camera, a 16MP selfie camera, a 4,310mAh battery, and 33W charging support.

Infinix Note 40 Pro 5G Series

The Infinix Note 40 Pro 5G series is set to launch in India on April 12 (Friday). The company will unveil Infinix Note 40 Pro 5G and Infinix Note 40 Pro Plus 5G. The duo was announced globally recently.

Both these phones come with nearly identical specs. They only differ in terms of battery and charging speed. The ‘Pro’ variant houses a 5,000mAh battery and supports 45W wired charging as opposed to a 4,600mAh battery and 100 wired charging on the ‘Pro Plus.’

Apart from the aforementioned differences, the duo arrives with a 6.78-inch FHD+ 120Hz curved AMOLED display, a MediaTek Dimensity 7020 SoC, a 108MP rear camera, a 32MP selfie camera, JBL-tuned dual stereo speakers, and 20W wireless MagCharge support.

Nubia Flip 5G: Everything You Need To Know Before Launch

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 16:30:55 +0000

Nubia recently revealed that it will launch a clamshell foldable smartphone next week. This device officially called Nubia Flip 5G will be unveiled on April 9 in China.

It will be the brand’s first foldable phone. But the product will not be new.

Based on the teasers and leaks, the handset is expected to be a rebranded ZTE Libero Flip. For the unaware, Nubia and Red Magic are subsidiaries of ZTE.

The Libero Flip is the group’s inaugural foldable smartphone. It was quietly unveiled in Japan in February.

It is currently the most affordable foldable phone on sale at just JPY 63,000 (~$415). The device could be even cheaper in China beating the Motorola Razr 40.

This could start a new trend of budget foldables in the coming years as a couple more (Energizer Ultimate U660S and Blackview Hero 10) are already confirmed to go on sale later this year.

These handsets arrive with downgraded specs compared to those that cost above $1,000. So what kind of specs can we expect from the Nubia Flip 5G? Let’s find out.

Nubia Flip 5G Expected Specifications

Old Mid-range Chip

The Nubia Flip 5G will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mobile platform. This very same chipset is also present inside almost a year-old Motorola Razr 40.

The chip was unveiled about two years ago in May 2022. It is slower than current-gen mid-range chipsets, let alone flagship chips.

It has an octa-core Kryo CPU and Adreno 662 GPU. The CPU consists of 4 x ARM Cortex-A710 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and 4 x ARM Cortex-A510 cores run.

Anyways, a chipset alone does not define a product and this one is actually capable enough for normal day-to-day usage.

Small Cover Screen

The Nubia Flip 5G will sport a 6.9-inch main vertical foldable display. This centered punch hole panel will offer a resolution of 2790×1188 pixels.

The screen size as well as its resolution match those of premium clamshell foldables. We don’t have info on refresh rate but it will likely be 120Hz.

However, it will feature a small 1.43-inch circular cover screen. This tiny display can only show minimal widgets and can act as a viewfinder for the camera.

A small external display could be a dealbreaker for users who prefer using their foldable without even opening. On the other hand, it is a quality-of-life feature for someone on a digital detox.

Single Camera

The Nubia Flip 5G will house a dual camera setup on the rear. But only one of these sensors will be usable and that will be the primary 50MP snapper.

The secondary sensor will be merely a 2MP depth sensor. While on the front, it will sport a 16MP shooter.

Though the cameras are the same as on regular budget smartphones, the hinge can be adjusted between 60-110 degrees to click pictures and shoot videos in creative ways.

Decent Battery

The Nubia Flip 5G will be backed by a 4,310mAH battery. That’s respectable for a clamshell foldable which is thin at 7.3mm when unfolded.

The phone will carry support for 33W wired charging but will lack wireless charging support.

Nubia Flip 5G receives 3C certification with 33W charging

Rajesh Regmi — Mon, 19 Feb 2024 05:27:29 +0000

Amidst reports of smartphone brands halting their foldable projects, Nubia is bucking the trend by pushing forward with its own foldable devices. Nubia is said to be diligently working on not just one, but two foldable designs: a clamshell type and a book style.

The Nubia Flip 5G, rumored to be the company’s first clamshell folding phone, has recently surfaced in China’s 3C certification records. The certification hints at an impending launch for the device, adding to the anticipation surrounding it.

According to the certification, the Nubia Flip 5G with model number NX724J will support 33W fast charging, although it’s uncertain whether wireless charging will be part of its features.

The listing also reveals that the device may ship with a power adapter bearing the STC-A5111530AC model number. Based on this development, it’s reasonable to expect a China release first.

Further details regarding the Nubia Flip 5G’s specifications are currently scarce. More information about its processor, camera system, and other features will likely surface in the near future though leaks and further certifications.

The Nubia Flip 5G smartphone could debut alongside the Nubia Z60 Fold, the company’s book-style foldable. It is rumored to be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and AMOLED displays on both its front and back.

Likewise, the device is likely to be powered by a large 5000mAh battery with support for fast 100W charging.

Additionally, both of Nubia’s upcoming foldable devices have previously appeared in the IMEI database listings. The Nubia Z60 Fold is listed with the model number NX801J, while the Nubia Flip 5G goes by the moniker NX724J. This indicates that Nubia is well on its way to launching these devices. However, there’s no official announcement yet regarding their release dates.

Nubia Flip 5G flips-style foldable phone in works, model number revealed

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 05:47:00 +0000

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.

Mock render of 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.
