Huawei today officially confirmed the launch of its new clamshell-foldable, the Nova Flip. Although the company hasn’t revealed the phone’s specifications yet, a leak from tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) sheds some light on what to expect.
The Nova Flip is expected to be a more affordable option in the growing foldable market. However, this affordability may come at the cost of a less premium feel compared to high-end foldable.
DCS suggests the foldable is “inferior in CMF texture” likely hinting at the use of lower-cost materials compared to premium foldables. However, this trade-off could be offset by its price which is said to be around 5,000 yuan (approximately $690).
Moreover, the leak reveals that the Nova Flip will be powered by a Kirin 5G chip, though the specific model remains unknown. Charging is said to be 66W which is considerably faster than the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s 25W charging support. However, there is no mention of wireless charging as of now.
As for the camera system, it seems to include a dual setup with a 50-megapixel main sensor, likely paired with a secondary sensor for depth or ultrawide shots.
Coming to the screen, the larger main display is said to measure 6.9 inches. Its cover screen is rather small, quite evident from the official renders, and DCS says it measures just 2.1 inches. Details on resolution and refresh rate are missing, but these specs fall in line with what’s expected in a mid-range foldable.
Although the Nova Flip may not have the top-tier specs or premium materials of a flagship foldable, its rumored price could make it an appealing choice for budget-conscious users interested in foldable phones. We’ll have to wait for the official launch on August 6th to see how the Nova Flip stacks up.
