Huawei today officially unveiled the Nova Flip S in China. The clamshell foldable is the sequel to the original Nova Flip and, more importantly, it comes with a much lower price tag.
The Nova series has long been Huawei’s more affordable lineup, but the first Nova Flip launched at a steep 5,288 yuan (~$740) price tag. The Nova Flip S starts at just 3,488 yuan (~$490), making it the most affordable foldable from Huawei in China.
Huawei Nova Flip S Specifications
Design-wise, the Nova Flip S largely mirrors its predecessor. It maintains the same 6.9mm thickness, 195-gram weight, and cover design. Huawei has added two new color options, Sky Blue and Feather Sand Black, alongside the existing New Green, Zero White, Sakura Pink, and Star Black finishes.
The external display remains a 2.14-inch square screen with a 480×480 resolution, supporting fun themes like cute pets, DIY wallpapers, and interactive call displays.
You can also pin apps to the outer screen for quick access, like for checking the weather, viewing your schedule, or making QR code payments. The live window feature can show real-time updates like flights or food deliveries.
Inside, the 6.9-inch main screen offers a 1136×2698 resolution and a 1–120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate. It uses a water drop hinge system for minimal crease visibility and is certified for 1.2 million folds by Swiss SGS.
Under the hood, the Nova Flip S packs a 4,400mAh battery with 66W wired fast charging, side-mounted fingerprint recognition, and life waterproof certification for daily splashes.
The foldables’ camera setup includes a 50-megapixel main sensor (f/1.9) and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide (f/2.2) on the back. The front has a 32MP sensor and both support 4K video recording with AIS stabilization.
The device runs HarmonyOS 5.1, but Huawei has not released the chip details.
Huawei is offering the Nova Flip S in two storage variants: 256GB for 3,488 yuan and 512GB for 3,788 yuan.
