Huawei announces the Nova 'Flip' foldable smartphone, featuring a square external display
Huawei just announced the upcoming launch of a new 'small folding screen mobile phone' dubbed the Nova Flip. Scheduled for release on August 6th, the Flip will be the first of its kind in the Nova series. The company is marking its departure from the traditional mid-range focus of the line with this one.
Sources indicate that the Flip will be positioned between the previous Nova series and the higher-end Pocket series in terms of pricing. This suggests that Huawei is aiming for a broader audience with the device, potentially targeting young students and professionals. The foldable smartphone will feature a square external screen, a departure from the circular design seen on the Pocket series. This design choice is expected to make the outer display more versatile to use.
While details about the Flip's internal specifications are still scarce, recent leaks suggest that it could be a spiritual successor to the Pocket S. This would mean affordability without compromise on essential features. With the Nova series typically catering to a younger demographic, it's possible that Huawei will market features like camera specs, performance, and battery life. Here's the teaser posted on Huawei's Weibo account:
The upcoming August 6th launch event will also showcase other products, including the MateBook GT 14, MatePad Pro 12.2, MatePad Air 2024, and Printer X1 Max. However, the spotlight will undoubtedly be on the Nova Flip.
