Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset powers the Nubia Fold, paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. The large 6,500mAh battery supports 55W wired fast charging, ensuring extended usage without frequent recharging.
Nubia equips the Fold with a triple rear camera setup: a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP macro camera. For selfies, dual 20MP cameras are integrated on both the internal and external screens. The device supports WiFi 7, Bluetooth 6, IPX4 splash resistance, IP5X dust resistance, and features a fingerprint scanner. It weighs 249 grams.
In contrast, the Nubia Flip 3 adopts a clamshell fold design that is compact and affordable. The inside foldable OLED screen is 6.9 inches with a Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Its smaller 4-inch AMOLED cover display delivers quick notifications and camera viewfinder functions.
Powered by MediaTek Dimensity 7400X, the Flip 3 is equipped with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Its 4,610mAh battery complements the mid-range specifications with adequate endurance. The rear camera module consists of a 50MP primary sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide lens, while the selfie camera boasts a 32MP sensor.
Connectivity-wise, the Flip 3 supports Bluetooth 6 and WiFi 6, and offers similar protection ratings to the Fold with IPX4 and IP5X certifications. This model aims to bring foldable technology to a broader market with a more accessible price point.
Nubia plans to release the Fold first in Japan on December 4, 2025, priced around $1,145 (178,560 Yen). A wider international release is expected in 2026. The Flip 3 is anticipated to debut globally in January 2026. Color options include black for the Fold and black or white for the Flip 3.
