Nubia Flip 5G hits the market with innovative design

As we step into 2024, Nubia is making headlines with its much-anticipated entry into the foldable smartphone market. The tech world is abuzz with the expected announcement of the Nubia Z60 Fold, Nubia's first foray into this innovative segment. This device is anticipated to be a horizontally foldable smartphone, akin to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the OnePlus Open. Adding to the excitement, a recent development has shed light on another intriguing project from Nubia: the Nubia Flip 5G.

The existence of the Nubia Flip 5G, a vertically foldable device, has been confirmed through its appearance in the GSMA IMEI database. This discovery, made by publication GSMChina, reveals the model number, NX724J, but leaves much to the imagination regarding its specifications and launch date. The Nubia Flip 5G is shrouded in mystery, particularly whether it will feature an under-display camera like Nubia's recent flagship models.
