NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Huawei nova Flip S is the more complete choice, adding 5G, optical stabilization on its main camera, and more memory. The nova 10, however, is much thinner and lighter. The choice is between a foldable’s features and a more conventional, slim phone.
The Flip S pairs a 6.94-inch LTPO OLED display at 421 ppi with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage; the nova 10 has a 6.67-inch OLED, 395 ppi, 8 GB, and 256 GB. Their processors differ, too: Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G in the nova 10 and Huawei Kirin 8030 in the Flip S. Both charge at 66 W, while their batteries are 4,000 mAh and 4,400 mAh, respectively.
The Flip S adds optical image stabilization to its main camera, but the nova 10 records slow motion at 960 fps versus 480 fps. For selfies, the nova 10 has 60 MP and the Flip S 32 MP. The nova 10 is 6.9 mm thick and weighs 168 g, compared with 15.1 mm and 199 g for the foldable, making it the better fit for anyone after a slim, light phone.
