nubia Flip 2 arrives with bigger cover screen | Infinium-tech

The Nubia Flip 2 quietly surfaced online two months after its unexpected appearance on TENAA. This foldable features an advanced cover screen, waterproof capabilities, and a new MediaTek chipset. The ZTE brand announced the Flip 2 in Japan and plans to start sales next week.

The Nubia Flip 2 sports a foldable 6.9″ AMOLED on the inside, with the panel boasting Full HD+ resolution and a punch hole for a 32 MP camera. There’s no fingerprint scanner under the display as it’s on the side, which doubles as a power Key.

Talking about cameras, there are two lined up vertically at the back – a 50 MP main + 2 MP depth sensor. The cover screen is now 3″ with a 682 x 422 px resolution. It can bring up quick notifications and also offers some app navigation, but Nubia did not reveal if there will be specific apps that will work on the smaller screen.

The chipset on the Nubia Flip 2 is a Dimensity 7300X, which is the same as the regular 7300 but optimized for dual-display smartphones like this foldable. Storage is 128 GB, while RAM is 6 GB and the phone runs Android 14.

There’s a 4,300mAh battery inside, which supports PD 3.0 charging and Nubia claims it takes 55 minutes to go from 0 to 100%. The body is designed in such a way that it is IPX2 waterproof (against water drops) and IP4X (protected against objects larger than 1 mm in diameter).

The phone’s official page mentions plenty of AI features, including a customized assistant that works with local apps like Line in Japan. One of the best features is AI Reply for when the user loses their device (or simply doesn’t want to respond).

The Nubia Flip 2 comes in black, white or blue. The price is JPY 64,080 on Yahoo! The mobile, which costs around $410. This is an incredibly low price for a foldable smartphone, but that’s because the offer comes with a two-year contract. The sale is scheduled for January 23.
