In the past two years, the candy-bar phone market seems to have some aesthetic fatigue, and the small folding screen has attracted more and more attention. However, the folding screen seems to lack novelty in the past few years. The technology and design have made the folding screen a "traditional" position, and it is even called a "beautiful little waste". I remember that when the Huawei Pocket series was launched, it captured the hearts of many girls with its exquisite and compact appearance design. Compared with other small folding screens, it has a little more "personality" and "characteristics". Today, I got the Huawei nova Flip, a brand new small folding screen, to see what surprises it brings!


First of all, Huawei nova Flip feels very light to me. It is particularly light and thin when unfolded. The official claims that it is the lightest and thinnest small folding device in the industry. Mine is the glass version with a thickness of 6.9mm. In addition, the official shows that the plain leather version is only 6.88mm and weighs only 195g.


New fun in your hand, exquisite external screen

For vertical foldcell phoneThe external screen is undoubtedly the most popular configuration at the moment. Huawei nova Flip is equipped with a very unique 1:1 square external screen - the Fun Square Screen. The official said that this design was inspired by the classic 6x6 frame. The square composition brings a sense of symmetrical balance, and the outer frame has a bit of the current fashionable rounded UI widget feeling.


The matrix arrangement of the lens module and the square external screen, the axial symmetry of the circular lens and the square external screen, the minimalist geometric shape and neat layout do not look vulgar. However, I have to say that at first glance, with two antennas on the top, this external screen seems a bit like a "retro small TV".

Of course, good looks are just decoration, and practicality is the real strength of the product. Apart from the lens module, the external screen adopts a 1:1 ratio for the first time, with live and basic functions. Basic functions such as taking pictures, paying, and checking schedules can all be added as cards, and other apps such as takeaways and travel can also be displayed in real time.


This time, the external screen is also equipped with a fun call display function for the first time. When you are making a call, the external screen will display cute or cool and trendy fun animations. You can choose the style yourself, which is fun and interesting. However, I will not deliberately turn it over to see it during the call, which means that others can see it more. If it can't be called tasteless, I personally feel that this may be more like a "conspicuous bag" for making calls, and when you are walking in the neon city while talking on the phone, you have a kind of "cyberpunk" cool style.



I also found another interesting point, that is, the external screen not only has various cute pet themes, but the series of interactive themes below are actually small games. It not only functions as a clock, you can play touch-screen games, and sprint through levels. While you are waiting for the bus or the elevator, you can check the time and play games. Isn't this equivalent to a portable game console?


In addition, the external screen can be used as a camera viewfinder, directly taking photos with the rear high-pixel camera, and can also be used as a mirror to adjust your dressing and makeup. And thanks to the powerful folding hinge, it supports multi-angle hovering photography, and can directly call the 50-megapixel super-sensing large-bottom main camera for selfies. Combined with Huawei's newly upgraded Da Vinci Portrait Engine 2.0, you can take photos at any time, and each photo is the most beautiful portrait.


New color matching, digital rebirth

After talking about the outer screen, let's take a look at the back cover. Huawei nova Flip has launched four colors: New Green, Sakura Pink, Zero White and Starry Black. I think it is still very innovative and bold. New Green, Sakura Pink and Zero White are high-grade glass textures, while Starry Black uses plain leather embossing technology with fine inclined texture. Each color shows the unique style and charm of this small folding phone.


The one I got is the new green, which is bright and bold, breaking the traditional aesthetic stereotype and visually giving off a new green feeling beyond nature. New green is not only suitable for daily use, but also for female users, it can be matched with street-cool accessories, clothing, and environment, so that the phone is no longer a tool, but can be directly integrated into the street atmosphere of dressing and traveling.


Basalt hinge, no worries about opening and closing

On the front, Huawei nova Flip uses a 6.94-inch 120Hz LTPO inner screen, and the overall screen quality is still very high. Coupled with Huawei's own powerful Hongmeng system, the touch and appearance, smoothness are all in the first echelon, and there is no need to worry about the color rendering. It is also worth mentioning that Huawei nova Flip uses the basalt water drop hinge, which is the world's first Swiss SGS 1.2 million times folding certification. After 1.2 million times of high-intensity bending tests, it is still fully functional, reliable and durable. The inner screen is very flat when unfolded, and there is almost no trace. It performs better when the screen is on, and the touch is no different from a candy-bar phone.



Multi-dimensional hover photography, fun and photogenic

In terms of image, I just want to say that the external screen + Huawei's newly created image is simply a "double sword combination" with invincible playability. Huawei nova Flip is equipped with a 50-megapixel super-sensing large-bottom main camera, F1.9 large aperture and 1/1.56-inch large-size sensor, with stronger resolution and photosensitivity, which can capture brighter and more beautiful pictures. In terms of portraits, Huawei Da Vinci Portrait Engine 2.0 has been newly upgraded, and the first Huawei Da Vinci portrait beauty theme has been released, providing three themes: native, texture, and makeup. We asked our friends to take a few photos and called it a flat substitute camera. The beauty effect can also directly save me the process of post-photography.



Let's talk specifically about its playability. Thanks to the advantages of folding, Huawei nova Flip supports multi-angle hovering selfies, 50 million rear main camera pixels and 32 million front cameras, and performs well on the streets, parks, and beaches. The close-up portraits are in three-dimensional high definition, retaining details while handling light and shadow very well, without graying or uneven skin tone.


Moreover, in the sun, the background blur effect is also very good. Compared with the ordinary algorithm without depth of field, Huawei Da Vinci's image processing is very appropriate, full of atmosphere, and natural and beautiful. It is easy to grasp different light and shadow angles, so that everyone in the camera is the center. Moreover, the folding hovering posture is more advantageous for shooting at night. Hovering brings more stable shooting, shooting the starry sky, the Milky Way, or the bustling urban landscape, every picture is a blockbuster with details.


You can also set interval timer shooting, and it supports up to 9 continuous shots. I actually played with it a little bit, and it can set a 5s interval. After each shot, you can strike a new pose, and you can directly output a nine-square grid with one setting. With this speed, no matter you are capturing light and shadow for portraits, or taking creative and individual photos, you can capture the perfect picture.


Another big advantage of external screen shooting is that you can take 1:1 composition photos. Huawei nova Flip has an exclusive 1:1 picture atmosphere, which is very individual, and the square ratio is perfectly suitable for Weibo, WeChat avatars and Moments.


In terms of other configurations, Huawei uses the Kirin 8000 chip, has a built-in 4400mAh battery, supports 66W fast charging technology, and officially provides 256GB and 512GB versions. Communication supports dual-card dual-pass, and can connect two calls at the same time, which means that when you are busy with calls about work and life, you can also directly connect other calls such as takeaways. In terms of AI, Hongmeng Xiaoyi is also at the top level in travel, learning, imaging, etc. It is not only a smart tool but also an all-round assistant. It can help you detect and identify skin conditions, easily respond to encyclopedia questions and answers, help you answer calls and organize documents, and so on.


In general, Huawei nova Flip's special interesting square screen design, eye-catching new color scheme, and the diverse folding phone shooting methods brought by the basalt water drop hinge not only reflect Huawei's technological accumulation in small folding phones, but also reflect Huawei's pioneering leadership in design aesthetics. It is very in line with the current young people's extroverted personality, free and confident true temperament, and rebellious attitude, and this unique avant-garde style will surely capture a large number of young mobile phone users.

Finally, if you want a stylish, interesting, photo-friendly and fun phone, this Huawei nova Flip will definitely be your "new favorite".
