Nubia is expanding its presence in the foldable smartphone market with the Nubia Flip 2, now available globally after an initial launch in Japan. The device brings a 6.9-inch 120Hz OLED display, a larger 3-inch outer screen, and a MediaTek Dimensity 7300X processor. With AI-powered translation features, a 50MP dual-camera setup, and fast charging, it aims to shake up the mid-range foldable segment.
A Bigger Outer Screen and Slim Foldable Design
Nubia Flip 2 takes a bold step in foldable phone design. It features a 3-inch outer OLED display, offering more usability when the phone is closed. This is a notable improvement over many flip phones that offer smaller external screens with limited functionality.
When unfolded, the 6.9-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen delivers a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and 10-bit color depth, ensuring a rich and vibrant viewing experience. The 2160Hz PWM dimming minimizes flicker, making it easier on the eyes.
Despite its large screens, the device remains sleek, measuring just 7.2mm in thickness when open. Its aerospace aluminum frame and triple-arc back cover contribute to a lightweight yet sturdy build.
Performance Backed by MediaTek Dimensity 7300X
At the core of the Nubia Flip 2 is MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300X chipset, built on a 4nm process. It features:
- Octa-core CPU: 2x Cortex-A78 (2.5GHz) + 6x Cortex-A55 (2.0GHz)
- Mali-G615 MC2 GPU for smooth graphics performance
- Up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM, with 12GB of virtual RAM expansion
- 128GB UFS 3.1 storage, ensuring fast read/write speeds
For daily use, this setup should offer a fluid experience, whether for multitasking, gaming, or media consumption.
AI Features That Stand Out
Nubia is adding AI-driven enhancements to make its foldable more than just a stylish gadget. The Flip 2 includes AI Real-time Translate, AI Conversation Translate, and AI Conference Translate, catering to professionals and travelers who need quick and accurate translations on the go.
Camera Capabilities: Dual Rear and High-Resolution Selfie Shooter
The Nubia Flip 2 packs a 50MP main camera with an f/1.59 aperture, designed to capture detailed shots even in low light. A 2MP depth sensor assists with portrait mode, enhancing background blur.
For selfies and video calls, the phone features a 32MP front camera, a significant upgrade over many competitors in the flip phone category.
Battery and Charging: 4325mAh with 33W Fast Charging
A 4,325mAh battery powers the Nubia Flip 2, which is slightly larger than what some foldable phones offer. It supports 33W fast charging, allowing for a quick top-up when needed.
Connectivity and Extras
- 5G SA/NSA, Dual 4G VoLTE
- Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC
- Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
- USB Type-C audio, dual speakers with DTS:X Ultra
- IP42-rated dust and water resistance

Nubia is keeping the Flip 2’s pricing competitive. The phone is available in two colors: Night Black and Lilac Purple.
