An affordable Flip for budget consumers

The design largely continues from its predecessor, retaining a 6.9mm thickness and a 195-gram weight, and is now available in two new color options, Sky Blue and Feather Sand Black, alongside the existing New Green, Zero White, Sakura Pink, and Star Black.

The external display is a 2.14-inch square screen with a 480 x 480 resolution, supporting customizable themes, interactive call displays, and the ability to pin apps for quick access to functions like weather, schedules, and QR code payments. A live window feature can show real-time updates for flights or food deliveries.

The inner screen

The main internal screen is a 6.9-inch foldable LTPO display with a 1136 x 2698 resolution and a 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It utilizes a water drop hinge system, which Huawei states minimizes the crease, and it is certified by Swiss SGS for 1.2 million folds.

HUAWEI stayed silent about its chip but mentioned that it features 256GB and 512GB storage options.

Powering the device is a 4,400mAh battery that supports 66W wired fast charging. The phone features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and has a waterproof certification for protection against daily splashes.

Front and back view

For photography, the rear camera system consists of a 50MP f/1.9 main sensor + 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide sensor. The front-facing camera uses a 32MP sensor, with both front and rear cameras supporting 4K video recording with AIS stabilization.

The Nova Flip S runs on HarmonyOS 5.1, though Huawei has not disclosed the specific chipset details.
