Nova Series Flip Phone to Be More Affordable Than the Huawei Pocket 2
The Nova series flip phone is expected to feature an upgraded external screen compared to this year’s Huawei Pocket 2.
In terms of pricing, the new flip phone will be more expensive than previous models in the Nova series. However, since it is part of the Nova lineup, it will be more affordable than the Pocket series devices.
Although not much is known about the internal specifications, we can speculate based on the Huawei Pocket 2, which was released in February this year.
The Pocket 2 boasts a quad rear camera setup (50MP + 8MP + 12MP + 2MP) with a circular external display within two circular rings. The 8MP camera features a 3x telephoto lens with an f/2.4 aperture and OIS. The Pocket 2 also has a water drop hinge, which reportedly reduces the crease by 62%.
Performance and Battery
Regarding performance, the phone is expected to be equipped with the in-house developed Kirin 9000s chipset, which supports two-way satellite connectivity. It also includes a 4520mAh battery that supports 66W wired fast charging and 40W wireless fast charging.
