Editorial report
Huawei nova Flip S 12 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet
The Huawei nova Flip S suits buyers seeking a foldable phone with a bright, detailed display and fast charging. Its main trade-off is the 4,400 mAh battery, among the smallest of its time; 66W charging is better than most phones launched in the same period.
Unfolded, the phone has a 6.94-inch LTPO OLED display with 2,500 nits, 421 ppi and a 120Hz refresh rate. Its pixel density is higher than most phones of its time, while the 15.1 mm thickness is greater than most. IP58 resistance and a 199 g weight complete a design built around the foldable format.
The Kirin 8030, 12GB of DDR5 RAM and 256GB of storage make the hardware better than most phones of its time. Storage is not expandable, and the operating system is HarmonyOS 5. The 50MP main camera has optical image stabilization, while the 8MP ultrawide camera covers broader scenes. Its f/1.9 aperture is worse than most of its time, and there is no optical zoom. 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC and dual-SIM support cover the main connectivity needs.
With a NeoScore of 7.0, the Huawei nova Flip S is typical overall for its time. It stands out through hardware, display detail and charging, but the smaller battery is a clear limitation.
