Nubia Flip 5G Review - The Most Affordable Flip Phone But At What Cost?

I really like how you give every aspect of a phone equal time, rather than giving three quarters of the video over to camera performance like so many others.

Bought their flagship model, the Z60 Ultra, back in January and must say Nubia surprised me a lot. They made a great phone for a great price. Cameras are great, especially when using gcam. It's fast. No bloadware apart from some Google apps. And the best surprise was that they have monthly software updates.

As for this Flip... I wonder why it comes with Android 13, even their older models already got upgraded to Android 14.

Flip phones are the perfect compact smartphone replacement. Glad that nubia has taken the initiative to lower the price despite not being the best in class 👍🏻

I think it's absolutely brilliant. Finally, a foldable has made it to the market at an affordable price. First Motorola, which had a cheaper alternative offers, Samsung, which are down with the price and probably want to offer a fold in cheaper this year. If the device were to enter the market globally, it would be the breakthrough, even if it did not happen. 😅 Bin generally fan of Foldables. Me with the Fold5, woman with the Flip5. It all remains exciting. Thanks for the video 😊

I think it's finally the time for an affordable flip phone, good thing Nubia starts it!

I know I’ve said this before, but your reviews are the best out of anyone by a longshot. Keep up the good work, brother. PS, if you do see this, what foldable would you recommend at the moment?

Flip phones 10 years from now gonna be amazing. Hope I live to see them.

I think I can see what the target audience will be here. This phone is really suitable for the fashion-concious selfie generation, and has terrific specs for them. For social media videos, you don't need an ultrawide camera. The front camera is just garbage but the main camera is quite good for 4k video. The phone looks quite good too, it looks sturdy and compact. Overall quite impressive. The software though... I hope that this phone will get regular updates for a reasonable time.

This still is the first generation of the affordable smartphones. You have to start somewhere, let's see where this goes in a couple of years. Thanks for the review!

Really genuine review, not like other YouTubers. Appreciate your good work. Keep it up

[DrazenKlisuric]

It's 600€ on their page and Galaxy Z Flip4 is 580€ here in Croatia (256GB model, 25% VAT included). Flip4 is much better phone then this Nubia.

If they fix the video stabilisation and optimise the cameras a bit that would be a good flip phone for the price.

Ola. Thanks for the video. Crazy that Nubia want an extra £200 for a little more memory and RAM though.

[rzkrdn]

Wow actually looks handsome and pretty cheap for a foldable. hope it can stand atleast 3 years worth of flips. my sister's Z-Flip 5 only lasted a year

[atifnadeem]

If Nubia launched same phone but with flat screen. Not folding, (obv hard to switch from flat display to foldable and need more care) I'd buy it

[s_t]

Even when considering the flaws 499$ is still a great value for a flippable 6.9 inch 120hz oled phone.

Bout one of these. The hinge was absolute trash, and the software is horrid. Other than that i liked the phone. If they hadnt missed the hinge on QC at the factory and it had some thrid party support like Lineage OS, i would've loved it.

Replaced it with a Motorola Razr 40 Ultra (Razr+ 2023) that is on clearance for like 480 USD here in europe.

Do nubia phones get Android OS updates and if so how many

[raijinrasetsuii]

flip phones have so many moving and breakable parts that 2 years after purchase, the flex cables and hinges will be the first to have defects. my friend regrets buying her expensive flip phone and swears to return to the standard bar phone when she will buy her next phone.

[Rajorsi]

Hope you get your hands on the Blackview Hero 10. :)

Educational review, i am thinking to buy this new unique flip phone, it the most budget one and i think it's worth.
