Huawei Nova Flip S flaunts a big 120 Hz LTPO AMOLED display
The Nova Flip S from Huawei sports a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED display on the inside with a resolution of 1136×2698 pixels and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, on the outside, there is a 2.1-inch OLED cover screen with a resolution of 480×480 pixels that allows users to access apps, notifications and widgets.
This panel is encased in a body that's just 6.9mm thick when unfolded and 15.12mm thick when unfolded. The Flip S comes in the glass back and leather back variants and weighs up to 199 grams.
Under the hood, the Huawei Nova Flip S is powered by an undisclosed Kirin chipset, paired with 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage. It packs a 4,400mAh battery with 66W fast wired charging. Huawei has also included a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security and claims "life water resistance" for basic splash protection.
As for photography, it is handled by a dual rear camera setup with a 50 MP wide angle lens at the helm. The secondary shooter is an 8 MP ultrawide, while the front houses a 32 MP selfie camera. Both cameras support 4K video recording and AI image stabilisation.
On the software front, the Huawei Nova Flip S runs on HarmonyOS 15.1 right out of the box, featuring multitasking layouts optimised for foldable phones. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS and NFC.
Huawei is offering the Nova Flip S at a starting price of 3,488 Chinese yuan (approximately Rs 43,000) for the base 12 GB + 256 GB variant. Colour options include Sky Blue, Sakura Pink, Feather Sand Black, Star Black, Zero White and New Green.
By pricing the Nova Flip S lower than most competing flip phones, Huawei is seemingly working towards making the foldable adoption mainstream.
