On MWC 2024, ZTE subsidiary Nubia Nubia Flip 5G revealed a bona fide budget alternative to Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, which launched only a few months later. Now, on the MWC 2025, Nubia has returned with Nubia Flip 2 5G – a slightly more expensive model that still undermines its premium competition by some margin.
The first thing to note is the new phone’s design that looks related to that of Oppo Find N2 Flip. The original Nubia Flip’s circular front-facing display has been replaced by a more conventional looking 3-inch OLED screen, and despite its modest size, this front-facing panel may host almost all the same built-in apps that you find on the phone’s 6.9-inch, 120Hz-capable amoled inner screen.
At 193g, NUBIA FLIP 2 5G is significantly lighter than last year’s model (209g), and with a 1.2 m drop resistance it is also much more durable (Galaxy Z Flip 6, for reference, weighs 187g). In the camera department there is a 32MP self -snap on the front and a 50mp wide lens on the back, which is connected to a 2MP depth sensor.

Nubia Flip 2 5G is run by a Medatek Dimensity 7300X Chipset, and – Surprise, Surprise! -You find lots of baked-in AI features right out of the box, such as real-time call translation and integrated Google Gemini functionality.

Battery size (4,300mAh) and charging speed (33W) are largely unchanged against last year’s original Nubia Flip model, as well as RAM and storage capacity (128 GB and 6 GB respectively).
One thing that has changed, however, is the phone’s price. Where Nubia Flip 5G was launched to the local equivalent of $ 599, Flip 2 5G costs 699, which is equivalent to about $ 730. The US pricing will probably not be as-for-like, but it is safe to expect a significant price increase in regions such as the US, UK and Australia for NUBIA FLIP 2 5G this year. We will update this article when the phone’s international pricing and accessibility have been confirmed.
