Nubia Flip 2: Certification Hints at Imminent Launch

Hot on the heels of their first clamshell success, Nubia's getting ready to flip the script with their newest foldable. 

The Nubia Flip 2 (model NX732J) has just popped up on TENAA's certification database, giving us our first real peek at what's coming.

Supersized External Display Takes Center Stage

The biggest eye-catcher? A completely revamped external display. Unlike its predecessor's circular screen, the Flip 2 sports a larger 3-inch rectangular display with a crisp 422 × 682-pixel resolution. 

This puts it in direct competition with devices like the Motorola Razr series, which have popularized larger external screens on flip phones.

Camera System Gets a Fresh Look

Flanking that new display is an upgraded camera setup:

• Main camera: 50MP (up from the previous generation)

• Secondary sensor: 2MP

• New addition: Circular LED flash for better low-light shots

Inside, you'll find a 32MP selfie camera nestled in a hole-punch cutout on the main display. Speaking of which, the interior screen keeps its impressive 6.85-inch AMOLED panel, pushing a resolution of 1188 × 2970 pixels.

Slimming Down While Powering Up

While maintaining similar dimensions to its predecessor, the Flip 2 has been on a diet – it's shed 21 grams, bringing the total weight down to a pocket-friendly 193g. Under the hood, Nubia's packed in:

• Up to 12GB of RAM for smooth multitasking
• A 4,225mAh battery for all-day power

Market Impact and Availability

Though pricing remains under wraps, analysts suggest the Nubia Flip 2 could shake up the mid-range foldable market, especially in regions like India, where affordable foldables are gaining traction. This positions it as a potential competitor to devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series.

The device's appearance on TENAA typically signals an imminent launch, so we might not have to wait long to see how this next-generation flipper performs in the real world.
