There’s a 32MP shooter at the front for capturing selfies and video chats. 

Under the hood, the smartphone is powered Kirin 8000 processor paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It runs on Huawei’s HarmonyOS 4.2 out of the box. Huawei also packs several AI features including subject removal, text selection from images, image generation, and other AI tricks. The device houses a massive 4,400mAh battery cell with 66W fast-wired charging support. Unfortunately, there’s no wireless charging support. 

Huawei Nova Flip starts at CNY 5,288 ($744) for the 12GB/256GB model while the high-end 1TB variant retails at CNY 6,488 ($911). It comes in four trendy color options – Sakura Pink, Zero White, Starry Black, and New Green. Open sales for the Nova Flip will begin on August 10 in China.
