nubia finally has a book-style foldable phone, the nubia Fold.
The nubia Fold features a large 8-inch foldable OLED screen with a decent 2480 x 2200 pixel resolution and a high 120Hz refresh rate. It then has a 6.43-inch OLED cover display with similar features but a sharper resolution for its size.
It has a flagship processor, of course, albeit dated. It uses last year’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It still runs on Android 15, too.
What’s impressive is the large 6,560mAh battery paired with a decent 55W charging.
Each display has its own 20-megapixel selfie camera. On the back, there are two 50-megapixel cameras for the main and ultra-wide lenses, joined by a 5-megapixel macro lens. No telephoto.
Durability features are not much, but at least you get an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.
The nubia Fold is now listed in Y!mobile telecom from Japan. It retails for JPY178,560 (~Php67,400).
