I went hands-on with Nubia's $600 foldable — and it could be a genuine Galaxy Z Flip challenger

Nubia Flip 5G part folded, in hand.

We're expecting the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 later this year, but while this phone is rumored to be getting some welcome upgrades, it may still resemble its predecessor in many ways, including its $1,000 price. But a phone I just tried at MWC 2024 - the Nubia Flip 5G - promises to do much the same as some of the best foldable phones but for $600 instead.

Nubia is a part of ZTE, a company you may know for its under-display camera tech on the Axon 40 Ultra,  and also its RedMagic-branded gaming phones, like the recent RedMagic 9 Pro. Both of these phones can be purchased in the U.S. via the sub-brands' web stores, meaning this, unlike many other foldable rivals, could be a genuine option for American foldable buyers.
