Huawei is reportedly preparing a major design change for its next Nova Flip smartphone, potentially introducing a wider screen instead of the traditional narrow foldable display. The upcoming device could arrive in 2027 with upgraded hardware and a redesigned appearance.
According to recent leaks, Huawei plans to introduce a compact, wide-format foldable with a 6.3-inch internal display. The company may also equip the smartphone with a Kirin 9-series processor, offering a significant upgrade over its predecessor.
However, Huawei has not officially confirmed the device or announced its launch schedule.
New Display Design Could Resemble Huawei Pura X
The reported 6.3-inch display could bring the next Nova Flip closer to the design of Huawei’s Pura X foldable. The Pura X features a wider 6.39-inch internal screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio.
This format offers a different experience compared to conventional flip phones, which generally feature taller and narrower displays. Moreover, a wider screen could provide additional space for browsing, reading, watching videos and using multiple applications.
The new Nova Flip may retain its traditional clamshell design while adopting significant changes to its display proportions. However, details about its external screen and final design remain unavailable.
Huawei Could Delay Launch Until 2027
Earlier reports suggested that Huawei might introduce its next-generation Nova Flip during 2026. However, the latest information indicates that the company could postpone its launch until early 2027.
The reported delay may relate to the adoption of the new form factor and Huawei’s existing product launch schedule. Additionally, the company could introduce further design improvements before announcing the device.
Huawei launched the Nova Flip S in 2025 with a 6.94-inch internal display and a 2.14-inch external screen. The smartphone featured a 50-megapixel main camera and a 32-megapixel front camera.
The upcoming model could represent a significant change for Huawei’s affordable foldable lineup. Nevertheless, its specifications, pricing and international availability remain unconfirmed as the company has yet to make an official announcement.
