After its launch in Japan this year, Nubia is set to introduce its second-generation clamshell foldable to the global stage at MWC 2025. The Nubia Flip 2 boasts a larger cover display, enhanced durability, and a new MediaTek chipset. Let’s dive into the specifics.

Enhanced Cover Display and Design

The Flip 2 retains the sleek 6.9-inch OLED main display of its predecessor, featuring FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. However, the significant improvement lies in the cover screen—replacing the original Flip’s small circular display, Nubia has introduced a more functional 3-inch rectangular screen (422 x 682 pixels). This change makes it easier to handle notifications, app shortcuts, and widgets without the need to unfold the device.

Camera Features and Performance

On either side of the cover display, there’s a dual-camera system consisting of a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies and video calls, it includes a 32MP camera inside. The Flip 2 is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300X chipset, combined with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. A 4,300mAh battery supports PD 3.0 fast charging, which Nubia claims can charge from 0 to 100% in just 55 minutes.

Durability and Pricing Information

The Flip 2 also sees some upgrades in terms of durability. Although it isn’t completely waterproof, it does feature an IPX2 rating (resistant to water drips) and IP4X protection (safe from objects larger than 1mm, such as dust).

The price for the Nubia Flip 2 starts at €699 for the 6GB/128GB model, and it comes in two colors: Night Black and Lilac Purple.
