Editorial report

ZTE Nubia Fold technical sheet

The Nubia Fold suits anyone who wants the workspace of a large foldable and strong hardware in one phone. Its main trade-off is physical: it weighs 249 g and is 11.1 mm thick. Unfolded, the 8-inch OLED display combines 120 Hz, 414 ppi and 1,500 nits, while its 89% usable surface leaves plenty of room for content. Pixel density and usable surface are better than most phones of its time; 120 Hz is typical for the period.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite, 12GB of RAM and 2,710,000 AnTuTu score put performance above most phones of its time. The camera is also better than most: its 50MP main sensor has an f/1.7 aperture, optical stabilization and 8K video recording. There is no optical zoom, although that is typical among phones of its time.

Connectivity is among the best of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC and eSIM. The 6,560mAh battery supports 55W charging and wireless charging, but both figures are typical rather than decisive advantages. Android 15 and Google Services complete the setup, while IP54 protects against dust and splashes.

With an overall NeoScore of 7.7, the Nubia Fold is better than most phones of its time. It is best suited to buyers who prioritize foldable screen space, processing power and connectivity, and accept a heavier, thicker body.
