Nubia Flip 5G

Compact, cute, and fairly cheap, Nubia's Flip 5G could be your first foldable, but the software lets it down.

Affordable foldable. Cute design with circular cover screen. Speedy charging.

Cover screen can’t do much. Average performance. Dated software and uncertain updates.

Decent performance ; Respectable battery life ; Relatively fast charging ; Small display crease ; Cheap for a foldable

No ultra-thin glass ; No IP rating ; No ultrawide camera ; Running older version of Android ; No update commitment

Nubia Flip 5G review: Folding on a budget

Nubia's Flip 5G hits the perfect midrange price with performance that punches above its weight

Most affordable flip yet ; Hinge feels reliable ; Outer screen is implemented well

The top wobbles a little ; Top-heavy when open ; Brightness could be better

This recommendation comes with the caveat that you are a T-Mobile user. With that in mind, I wholeheartedly recommend the Nubia Flip 5G for those looking to spice up their Android lifestyle . I've had more fun using and theming the Flip 5G than I have...

Nubia Flip 5G review: The phone I wish Samsung would make

The Nubia Flip 5G is the first flip phone from the ZTE sub-brand, offering a Galaxy Z Flip 5-like experience but for literally half the price. The Nubia Flip 5G proves that affordable flip phones are possible, but only thanks to a few compromises.

Nubia Flip 5G Review

The Nubia Flip 5G is an interesting first attempt at a clamshell-style foldable that looks to close the gap between foldable and candybar phones.

Unique design ; Sharp internal display ; Decent camera

Awkwardly-shaped cover screen ; No IP rating ; No wireless charging

The Nubia Flip 5G is an eye-catching clamshell foldable with a unique circular cover screen and a large 50-megapixel camera. The specs don’t quite match up to some of the phone’s competitors and the round cover screen doesn’t feel as practical as a...

Nubia Flip 5G review: a low-cost Galaxy Z Flip alternative

The Nubia Flip 5G is one of the lowest-cost foldables in the world – but at what cost?

Impressive battery for a flip phone ; Quality flexible display ; Robust-feeling hinge

Limited cover screen functions ; Only one picture-taking camera ; Lacks software polish/future-proofing

The Nubia Flip 5G is surprisingly robust, considering how much cheaper it is than alternative flip phones. Despite being Nubia's first foldable, its hinge feels relatively sturdy, its cover screen is simple but effective, and day-to-day it doesn't feel...

Nubia Flip 5G review: The most affordable flip phone you can get in Singapore right now

Some trade-offs had to be made, but the Nubia Flip 5G is the most affordable folding smartphone at the moment, with a US$499 (~S$675) price tag. #nubia #nubiaflip5g #foldingphone

Very affordable price point ; Stylish design ; Charges quite quickly from 0-50% ; Good battery life ; Camera performance is decent, just a little saturated

Performance isn't the best ; No IP rating ; Limited functionality for outer display ; No wireless charging ; Middling camera performance

The TL;DR verdict: The Nubia Flip 5G can be an introduction to foldable phones but know that it's not at the peak of its form factor, given its attractive price point. The Nubia Flip 5G starts at US$499 (~S$675) for the 8GB+256GB model and is available...
