Reviewing the Budget-Friendly ZTE Nubia Flip 5G: Our Experience Testing the Cheapest Folding Smartphone in Spain

Recently, ZTE made headlines with the unveiling of its new folding phone, the ZTE Libero Flip. Priced at $400, this innovative device was initially launched in Japan but will soon be available in Spain even before its Japanese release date of February 29. In Spain, the phone will retail for 599 euros, offering a more affordable option compared to other folding phones in the market.

The Nubia Flip 5G, as it is called in Europe, was showcased at the MWC and has garnered attention for its sleek design and impressive features. The phone draws inspiration from Samsung’s foldable models as well as other Chinese brands like Vivo and Huawei. With a 6.9-inch OLED display and a sturdy hinge that allows for different viewing modes, the Nubia Flip 5G stands out for its build quality and performance.

While the phone excels in hardware aspects such as the Snapdragon processor and 128GB internal memory, it falls short in the camera department with a limited secondary camera and lack of optical zoom. The software experience also leaves room for improvement, with some users noting issues with notifications and gestures.

Despite these drawbacks, the ZTE Nubia Flip 5G is now available for purchase in Spain through the ZTE website. Priced competitively at 599 euros, the phone aims to carve a niche in the folding phone market by offering a budget-friendly option with a focus on essential features like screen quality and battery life.

As ZTE enters the competitive world of folding phones, only time will tell if the Nubia Flip 5G can capture the attention of consumers looking for an affordable and innovative device in this rapidly evolving market.
