The Nubia Flip 5G was first unveiled at MWC 2024 back in February. Thereafter, the phone went ahead and bagged the iF Design Award and it is finally launching formally. It is available for pre-order worldwide, however, a launch event is scheduled for 16 April 2024 in China.
The phone starts at CNY 2,999 and goes up to CNY 3,699. It is highly unlikely that it will make it to our borders. However, even the Honor Magic V2 is coming here, so never say never. Anyway, if it does arrive here, we expect the Nubia Flip 5G price in Nepal to start at NPR 66,999.
