MWC 2024 is as exciting as ever, showcasing what’s in store for the smartphone industry. One of the new devices to expect this year is the nubia Flip 5G, a flip phone with a promising set of features.
The nubia Flip 5G is a rebranded version of the ZTE Libero Flip that launched in Japan last week. It has a 6.9-inch OLED display with a 2790×1188 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate on the inside and flips over to showcase a 1.43-inch round display with a 466×466 resolution on the cover.
The flip phone features a dual-rail suspended hinge that’s rated to last over 200,000 unfolding. It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor under the hood with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
At the back, the phone has a dual camera setup with a 50MP main camera and a 2MP depth sensor. It also has a 16MP front shooter for selfies. Like other flip phones, one side of the screen, when half-folded, functions as a viewfinder when taking photos or videos.
The handset also features Wi-Fi 6 and 5G connectivity, Bluetooth 5.2, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, dual speakers, and IP42 dust and water resistance.
The nubia Flip 5G is priced at USD 599 (around P33,600), making it a wallet-friendly mid-range option. There’s no news yet of availability in other regions, but hopefully, it makes it in the Philippines.
