Huawei is reportedly gearing up to expand its foldable lineup with a successor to its Nova series flip phone — the Huawei Nova Flip S. The new model is expected to build on the appeal of its predecessor, offering refined hardware and fresh color options to attract style-conscious users and tech enthusiasts alike.
What’s New — Leaks and Rumors
According to a leak via Gizmochina, the Nova Flip S will ship in six striking colors: Sakura Pink, Zero White, Sky Blue, Starry Black, Feather Sand Black, and New Green. (Gizmochina) A report from Huawei Central confirms this palette and notes that the two new shades — Sky Blue and Feather Sand Black — are additions beyond what was offered in past models.

In terms of internal specs, the Flip S is rumored to come in three storage configurations — 12 GB RAM paired with 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB of internal storage.

Further details about battery capacity, display, or camera configuration are still under wraps, though many anticipate incremental upgrades over the original Nova Flip to keep it competitive in the folding‑phone segment.
Why Color Choices Matter
One of the key differentiators for the Nova Flip series has been its bold and fashion-forward color options. The inclusion of six options gives users more freedom to pick a device that aligns with their personal style. Some colors like New Green and Sakura Pink offer a vibrant, youthful look, while Starry Black and Feather Sand Black may appeal to those seeking a more classic or elegant aesthetic. Zero White and Sky Blue aim to strike a balance — bright but refined.
Color variety is also a smart move from a marketing perspective. It helps devices stand out in a crowded smartphone market and gives Huawei more angles to appeal to different demographics — from trend-focused buyers to those preferring understated elegance.
What to Watch and Expect
- Launch timing & pricing: So far, Huawei hasn’t officially confirmed a release date or pricing structure for the Nova Flip S. Leaks suggest a price around 5,000 yuan (roughly in line with the prior generation’s positioning). (Gizmochina)
- Design continuity vs changes: It’s likely that many aspects of the design — such as a vertical folding form factor and a cover display — will follow the original Nova Flip’s blueprint. (Huawei Central)
- Specs upgrade expectations: Watch for improvements in chipset, camera systems, battery, and durability. Huawei will need to deliver meaningful upgrades to justify the “S” suffix.
- Global release: Huawei’s foldables have often launched first in China; global availability will depend on regulatory, supply, and strategy factors.
Final Thoughts
The Huawei Nova Flip S aims to build on the strengths of its predecessor by expanding customization through color options, offering more storage flexibility, and potentially introducing software enhancements. While much is still speculative at this stage, the leaks provide a tantalizing preview of what could be a more refined and expressive folding phone. Whether Huawei can hit the right balance of style, performance, and affordability will determine how well the Nova Flip S resonates with consumers.
