  • Huawei Nova Flip with Kirin 8000 Spotted on Geekbench

    Huawei Nova Flip with Kirin 8000 Spotted on Geekbench

    Ahead of its official unveiling on August 5th, the Huawei Nova Flip has appeared on Geekbench, revealing details about its processor. While previous leaks have covered the phone’s screens, cameras, and battery, the SoC remained unknown until now.

    The Geekbench listing shows that the Nova Flip will be powered by Huawei’s Kirin 8000 SoC. This mid-range processor includes a single Cortex-A77 core clocked at 2.40 GHz, three additional Cortex-A77 cores at 2.19 GHz, and four energy-efficient Cortex-A55 cores running at 1.84 GHz. The listing also suggests an Arm Mali-G610 GPU.

    Performance and Operating System

    The SoC specs make it clear that the phone is designed for everyday tasks rather than demanding applications or high-end gaming. The Geekbench scores themselves reflect this, with the Nova Flip achieving a single-core score of 1,000 and a multi-core score of 2,419 on Geekbench 6.2.

    Another interesting detail from the listing is the operating system. While the phone seems to be running Android 12, there’s a possibility that Geekbench misidentified it. Huawei has transitioned many of its devices to its in-house HarmonyOS platform, and it’s possible the benchmark software misinterpreted the version.

    RAM and Display Specifications

    The final piece of information from the benchmark is the RAM capacity. The Nova Flip has 12GB of RAM, which is likely the top-tier option for the device.

    As for the known specs of the phone, the Nova Flip will have a primary 6.94-inch LTPO OLED panel with a resolution of 2690 x 1136 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. The cover screen will measure 2.14-inch and while it’s an OLED screen, the refresh rate is capped at 60 Hz.

    Camera and Battery

    The camera system of the phone will include a 32MP selfie camera and a 50MP primary lens paired with an 8MP ultrawide on the back. Fueling the device will be a 4400mAh cell with 66W fast charging support.

    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.

    Expected Build and Pricing

    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.

    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.

    Huawei to Launch Nova Flip, Replacing Nova 13 Series This August

    Huawei’s highly-awaited Nova 13 series smartphone release has been postponed, as reported by reputable industry insider Digital Chat Station. The series, which was initially expected to launch in August, will now not be making an appearance.

    Upcoming Flip Phone

    In place of the Nova 13 series, the Chinese tech behemoth is preparing to launch a Nova-branded flip phone. Although specifics about this forthcoming device are limited, the Nova line’s reputation for combining high-end features with competitive pricing suggests a similar strategy for the new flip phone.

    Anticipated Features of Nova 13 Series

    Regarding the delayed Nova 13 series, there are some intriguing rumored specifications. The Pro and Ultra models are speculated to include satellite connectivity, a feature gaining popularity recently. These devices might be powered by the same flagship Kirin 9010 SoC found in the newly released Huawei Pura 70 series.

    The Nova 13 series is also expected to adopt the XMAGE camera technology currently utilized in Huawei’s Pura and Mate flagship models. Enhanced selfie capabilities are anticipated, thanks to dual front-facing cameras.

    Display and Operating System

    Leaks indicate that the standard Nova 13 may feature a flat screen, while the other models could have a slightly curved design. All devices are rumored to boast a 1.5K resolution display, balancing between Full HD and Quad HD.

    Pre-installed with the HarmonyOS Next operating system, the Nova 13 series is also rumored to have a rear camera system with variable aperture technology for the main camera. The higher-tier models might include a periscope telephoto lens. Although these details are yet to be confirmed, they hint at a potentially feature-rich mid-range offering.
