Huawei has officially announced the upcoming release of its new foldable clamshell phone, the Nova Flip. While specific details about the phone’s specifications have not been shared by the company, a leak from tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has provided some insight into what we might expect.
The Nova Flip is anticipated to be a budget-friendly option in the expanding foldable phone market. However, this lower price could mean a less luxurious feel compared to more expensive foldable models.
Expected Build and Pricing
According to DCS, the Nova Flip might have an “inferior in CMF texture,” which likely indicates the use of more economical materials. This trade-off could be justified by its price, which is rumored to be around 5,000 yuan (approximately $690).
Performance and Charging
The leak also mentions that the Nova Flip will be equipped with a Kirin 5G chip, although the exact model is still unknown. One standout feature is its 66W charging capability, significantly faster than the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s 25W charging. However, there is no information about wireless charging at this time.
Camera and Display
For the camera setup, the Nova Flip is expected to feature a dual-camera system with a 50-megapixel main sensor, likely accompanied by a secondary sensor for depth or ultrawide shots.
In terms of display, the main screen is reported to be 6.9 inches. The cover screen is quite small, measuring just 2.1 inches according to DCS, and this is evident from the official renders. Specific details on resolution and refresh rate are not yet available but are expected to align with mid-range foldable standards.
Huawei Nova Flip
Despite not having premium specs or materials, the Nova Flip’s rumored price could make it an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers interested in foldable phones. The official launch is set for August 6th, and it will be interesting to see how the Nova Flip compares to its competition.
