Price and availability

As previously reported, this new ZTE foldable is apparently the global version of the ZTE Libero Flip 14 that launched in Japan. However, the nubia Flip 5G’s global pricing is significantly higher than the current sale of its Japan version, starting at USD 599. That’s approximately PHP 33.6K in today’s exchange.

The ZTE Libero Flip costs only USD 420 (~PHP 23.5K) and is claimed to go as low as USD 265 (~PHP 14.8K). The nubia Flip 5G is also pricier than the currently most affordable foldable in the country, the TECNO Phantom V Flip 5G 112 which had an intro price of PHP 23,999.

ZTE has yet to reveal its availability details and we shall still see if the price goes lower in its Philippine launch sooner or later.
