The cheapest foldable smartphone is now available to pre-order in the US. We’re talking about the Nubia Flip 5G, a device that was presented to global users during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.
The Nubia Flip 5G went on pre-order in a number of countries, including the US. It comes in 8GB RAM and 12GB RAM models. Those two variants include 256GB and 512GB of storage, respectively.

The two aforementioned variants of the phone will set you back $499 and $699, respectively. The Nubia Flip 5G is available in Cosmic Black, Sunshine Gold, and Flowing Lilac color variants.
If you’re wondering about the phone’s availability in Europe, well, you may be disappointed. It’s no longer available to pre-order, and Nubia didn’t mention the EU or UK countries at this point in time. That’s odd considering that’s what was expected to happen.
The phone has been made available in a number of countries, but not in Europe
The initial countries where the phone is available in (to pre-order) are: Australia, Chile, Egypt, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Israel, Kuwait, Laos, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, the United States, and Vietnam.
Another thing to note is that the Nubia Flip 5G will go on sale on April 23. So the pre-orders are valid until then. To be more accurate, you can pre-order the Nubia Flip 5G until April 23 at 8 AM EDT. You can do that via the link provided below the article.
The Nubia Flip 5G has a circular cover display on the back, and other than that, it’s pretty much what you’d expect out of a clamshell foldable in terms of the design. It folds right down the middle, and the main display has a display camera hole at the top.
The phone has been tested for over 200,000 folds, and it’s fueled by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. This is a budget smartphone, kind of, which is why its specifications are not high-end.
It has a 120Hz display, round cover display, and more
The main display measures 6.9 inches, and it offers a 2790 x 1188 resolution. That panel also offers a 120Hz refresh rate, and it’s an AMOLED display. It also has high PWM dimming to protect your eyes. The cover display, on the other hand, measures 1.43 inches, and it’s an OLED panel too.
A 4,310mAh battery sits inside the phone, while the device supports 33W wired charging. Stereo speakers are included, and Android 13 comes pre-installed on the device, with MyOS 13.
A 50-megapixel main camera is backed by a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front, you’ll find a 16-megapixel selfie camera, that snapper is placed on the main display.
