Huawei’s next clamshell foldable might not just be about fresh colors or storage options. According to a new leak, the upcoming Huawei Nova Flip S may feature a more capable processor under the hood.
Weibo tipster @SuperDimensional suggests that the Nova Flip S could run on either the Kirin 8020 or Kirin 8030 chipset. The Kirin 8020, which also powers the Nova 14 Ultra, features a CPU setup with one core clocked at 2.285GHz, three cores at 2.05GHz, and four smaller cores at 1.3GHz. However, the possibility of Nova Flip S using the Kirin 8030 appears equally strong as well.
For comparison, the standard Nova Flip launched with the Kirin 8000 processor, which offers slightly higher clock speeds of up to 2.40GHz on its main core. An upgrade to either the 8020 or 8030 could mean smoother performance, improved thermal control, and better 5G stability, even if Huawei keeps this as a mid-tier device.
Design-wise, the leak suggests that the Nova Flip S will look similar to its predecessor, though it may arrive in new color options and include subtle hardware upgrades.
It’s expected to be available in Sakura Pink, White, Sky Blue, Shining Black, Sand Black, and a Green shade. On the software side, the device is likely to ship with HarmonyOS 5.1 out of the box.
Since the design is expected to remain the same as its predecessor, the Nova Flip S will likely feature a similar 2.14-inch square cover display positioned next to the camera module. The main screen might also stay the same at 6.94 inches.
That’s all we know about the phone for now, but more details should surface closer to its expected launch in the final months of 2025.
