We spent some time with the Nubia Flip and found that it wasn't quite as enticing a foldable.
While foldable smartphones have made huge strides in terms of technology and design, most of them are still far from accessible to the masses due to their premium price tags. That's where the Nubia Flip comes in, with a new retail of only RM2,499. I say new because it was initially sold by a different distributor for RM3,999, so the new price makes it the most affordable foldable smartphone in Malaysia at the moment.
Unfortunately, that's where the pros of this phone ends. For one thing, when you open it up, half it the time it doesn't open up completely flat and you have to manually adjust it, which is already a red flag by itself. Then there's the crease in the middle, which wasn't that noticeable at first but after a couple of weeks, it did start to get deeper. The most concerning part is that sometimes, the hinge actually creaks when I opened it.
Of course, there are some fun upsides to having a clamshell foldable. You get to snap the phone shut to lock it with no need to actually use the home button and you can also do it to satisfyingly end a phone call. Additionally, the cover isn't only useful for selfies, but also so that the subject of your photos can see what they look like before you press the shutter.The Nubia Flip is equipped with a relatively aged mid-range processor, which translates into bad real-word usage.
Mind you, it can't last a second day even with light usage, unlike many phones nowadays, but whole-day battery life isn't something to complain about.
