Huawei Nova Flip makes Geekbench debut with Kirin 8000 SoC

Huawei is all set to unveil the Nova Flip on August 8. A slew of leaks have told us about the device's screens, cameras, battery and everything else except its SoC. That mystery has been solved by a Geekbench listing that shows off its Kirin 8000 SoC.

Codenamed PSD-AL00, the Huawei Nova Flip scores 1,000 and 2,419 in Geekbench 6.2's single and multi-core tests. Its performance is nothing to write home about, but one can attribute that to its somewhat lackluster CPU specs.

The Kirin 8000 features one Cortex-A77 core clocked at 2.40 GHz, three Cortex-A77 cores at 2.19GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores at 1.84 GHz. Geekbench says it comes with an Arm Mali-G610 GPU, which is supposedly clocked at 864 MHz (H/T @faridofanani96 on X).

Interestingly, this Huawei Nova Flip version seems to be running Android 12. This could be a result of Geekbench misidentifying Huawei's in-house Harmony OS versions. Lastly, the device packs 12 GB of RAM, which will likely the the most it offers.
