nubia has quietly introduced the Flip3 clamshell foldable in Japan, offering a compact cover display, a mid-range MediaTek chipset and a design that punches above its price tier. Sales are slated to begin in mid-January 2026.
Big inner screen, handy 4-inch cover display
The Flip3 packs a 6.9-inch flexible inner panel with Full HD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate — a roomy canvas for apps and media when opened. When closed, a 4-inch AMOLED cover display handles notifications, quick replies and widgets without flipping the phone open. Imagine checking messages or snapping a quick photo with the cover screen: that’s the convenience nubia is selling here.
Performance that balances power and efficiency
Under the hood sits the MediaTek Dimensity 7400X, paired with 6GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It’s a sensible configuration for everyday multitasking, light gaming and camera processing without chasing flagship price points.

Camera setup for everyday creators
nubia outfits the Flip3 with a dual rear camera array — a 50MP primary sensor and a 12MP ultrawide — plus a 32MP selfie camera. That lineup covers typical shooting needs, from wide-angle group shots to higher-resolution selfies, while keeping the hardware compact in a folding body.
Design, battery and real-world features
Weighing 187g and measuring 7.5mm when opened, the Flip3 is relatively light and slim for a foldable. nubia fit a 4,610mAh battery inside, supporting a day of mixed use for most people. The phone also includes practical touches: a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, IP54 dust and splash resistance, Bluetooth 6.0 and NFC.
- OS: Android 15 out of the box
- Colors: Black and White
- Weight: 187g; Thickness (opened): 7.5mm
