Huawei has announced its Nova Flip in China. The next-generation clamshell foldable phone comes with massive upgrades. One of the more obvious upgrades is the larger, square-shaped external display that sets it apart from its competition.
Dimensions folded are 169.8 x 75.4 x 6.9 mm and unfolded 87.6 x 75.4 x 15.1 mm, a bit larger than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6. The device uses a waterdrop hinge mechanism rated for as many as 1.2 million bends. It weighs in at 195 grams and remains compact and sturdy.
In folded form, the Nova Flip has a 2.14-inch OLED cover display with a 480 x 480 pixels resolution and supports up to 120Hz refresh rate. It also sports a vertically arranged dual camera setup, which includes a 50MP primary camera and an 8MP ultra-wide lens.
Open the phone and you will find a 6.94-inch LTPO OLED primary display with an FHD+ resolution of 1136 x 2690 pixels and support for as high as 120Hz refresh rate. The device has dual loudspeakers, an on-board USB-C 2.0 port, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
Coming with an unknown octa-core chipset, probably the Kirin 8000, the Nova Flip packs up to 1TB of storage. It packs a 4,400mAh battery with 66W wired fast charging and 5W reverse charging. The device comes with HarmonyOS 4.2, which offers AI image editing tools and a host of app support on the cover display.
