On the afternoon of August 6th, Huawei is set to unveil a variety of new products, including the latest small folding screen phone, the Huawei nova Flip. On the evening of August 5th, the Huawei nova Flip made its debut under the spotlight, giving many people a sneak peek at this new phone model. At the same time, the prices for the Huawei nova Flip were also announced: the 256GB version is priced at 5,288 yuan, the 512GB version at 5,688 yuan, and the 1TB version at 6,488 yuan.

The small folding screen phones currently on the market may be the most fiercely competitive among all models and have become a showcase of the brand's strongest technical capabilities. As the first small folding screen model in the Huawei nova series, what unique experiences does this new product offer?

The Huawei nova Flip comes in four colors, and the one we have is called Zero Degree White. In addition to this, there are three other colors: New Green, Cherry Blossom Pink, and Starry Black. The other color options are relatively bright and have introduced the Morandi color palette, which is quite eye-catching. The classic black and white colors are more subdued, catering to different users' preferences.

Upon unfolding, one can see the phone's inner screen, which features a narrow bezel design with high screen brightness and very fine display. In terms of display quality, you can always trust Huawei.

The Huawei nova Flip also boasts an extremely slim profile. The phone weighs 195 grams, which is relatively light among similar products. Moreover, the thickness of the phone after unfolding is only 6.88mm, significantly thinner than other models in its category, thus making it the thinnest small folding screen phone in the industry to date.As for the much-discussed crease on the phone... what crease? Can you see the crease? Although it can't be said to be completely absent, both visually and tactilely, it is entirely acceptable.

The biggest feature of small folding screen models is that when folded, they are very compact. This compactness brings not only portability but also a completely new product form factor. After all, people might not buy it just to save a bit of space; perhaps they also enjoy the novelty of having it in the palm of their hand.

Nowadays, small folding screen phones place great emphasis on the design of the secondary screen. However, for most brands, what seems like "emphasis" is increasingly becoming a direct adaptation of the primary screen's usage. In contrast, Huawei's nova Flip has chosen a different approach, equipping the phone with a 1:1 square secondary screen.

This square secondary screen is endowed with a richer array of usage options and has its own theme settings. During phone calls, the Call-emoji feature on the secondary screen is absolutely unique among all small folding screens, and users can customize the display content when answering calls.

In normal operation, we can view various types of information through the external secondary screen, which supports touch interaction. This screen is capable of displaying a very rich set of information.Similarly, the secondary screen offers many functions that can be used independently without having to unfold the phone, such as displaying payment codes, checking messages, and taking photos.

The Huawei nova Flip not only features a 32-megapixel front-facing camera but also allows for direct photography with the main camera. The phone is equipped with a 50-megapixel ultra-sensitive large sensor main camera, as well as a 112-degree ultra-wide-angle camera.

Whether it's the front or the back, the phone can achieve ultra-wide-angle shooting. It's not only capable of showcasing one's beauty but also capturing group photos with friends or shooting video content.

With the integration of powerful hardware and flagship-level software algorithms, the Huawei nova Flip is not intimidated by complex lighting conditions, balancing the contrast between portraits and background lighting. Whether it's backlighting, side lighting, or night portraits, it can perform exceptionally well. Moreover, it presents the Huawei Da Vinci atmospheric light spot portrait effect in the image, bringing a realistic blurring effect.

On one side is a deep, dark space, and on the other is intense sunlight. All the photos we took during the experience were captured under very unfavorable lighting conditions, and you can carefully observe the photographic quality of the Huawei nova Flip in this process.In addition to the ultra-perceptive main camera and the ultra-wide-angle lens, the Huawei Nova Flip also offers zoom photography from 1x to 3x, corresponding to focal lengths of 27mm, 54mm, and 81mm, all of which deliver impressive results.

Of course, leveraging the innate advantages of a small folding phone, the device essentially comes with its own stand. You can also choose better angles for photography, making it more convenient for both self-portraits and group shots compared to traditional smartphones.

Huawei has been gradually rolling out AI photo editing features on its flagship phones, and these can also be experienced on the Huawei Nova Flip. For instance, if there are unwanted elements in the frame that you'd like to remove, you can use the AI removal feature to make them vanish and then have the AI fill in the gaps. It's as simple as circling and tapping.

You can compare the before and after effects of AI photo editing; the unidentified object at the top and the intrusive photographer on the side have both disappeared from the photo. Without having used it personally, one would never imagine that the AI-generated content is so natural.

It must be said that the Huawei Nova Flip is particularly well-suited for portrait photography. It not only perfectly counters issues such as backlighting, side lighting, and low light conditions, preventing dark faces or "yin-yang faces," but also presents facial details and hair with meticulous care. The facial optimization is akin to a subtle cosmetic procedure, quietly enhancing skin texture and enhancing the three-dimensionality of facial features, all while maintaining the clarity and translucency of the portraits.The last photograph perhaps best exemplifies the portrait effect of the Huawei nova Flip. The Huawei nova Flip achieves a perfect balance between the brightness of the portrait and the scene, also offering a background blur effect that is detailed down to the strands of hair. Yet, the beverage habit that almost blends into the background is perfectly preserved. The lights in the background also display a very realistic bokeh effect, and according to their distance and intensity, they exhibit their respective bokeh effects.

In summary, is this all there is to the Huawei nova Flip? Of course not, this is merely a simple display of a small part of the features of the Huawei nova Flip. The actual experience upgrades this phone brings to users are much more, even far more than what Huawei's official introduction can cover. After a brief experience, the anticipation for this phone has increased even more.
