Huawei unveils Nova Flip with a Morse code, launch date revealed too?

Huawei has launched three clamshell folding phones so far, all of which have been under the Pocket series. Now the company is gearing up to launch a new flip phone — this time as a member of the Nova series. Let's discuss everything we know about the Huawei Nova Flip further in this article.

Huawei Nova Flip Overview

Morse Code Unveiling

Huawei took to Weibo to announce its latest flip phone through a video, complete with a morse code. We also got the first look at the phone in there. The model closes the phone at varying speeds through the video revealing the code. The code goes: ••-• •-•• •• •--•

I am no expert, but a quick tour of “How to learn Morse code” on WikiHow reveals that the code reads — drum roll please — Flip! Yes, it'll be called Huawei Nova Flip. All that ordeal just to reveal the most generic name for a flip phone! Every other company has their flip phones named Flip — Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6, Xiaomi Mix Flip, Honor Magic V Flip, Nubia Flip 5G, and so on. You get the point! But, hey, I guess it's a first for Huawei. Given all their flip phones so far, have been called “Pocket”!

The phone itself

We do not know much about the phone right now as the teaser barely revealed anything. We do have a decent enough look at the phone though. The Huawei Nova Flip will be available in a green colour option at the very least. The frames on the thing appear to be metallic with a similar tone to the rest of the body. Similarly, the hinge will also carry over the colour while branding the company logo.

The most definite change on this phone is its outer screen. Huawei has gone with a squircle display which sits right beside the cameras. This is a step away from Huawei's “outer display will be circular and barely useable and we will place it under the camera setup” approach they've taken so far. However, throughout the whole video, the outer display shows the time only and nothing else. Which brings us to...

Huawei Nova Flip Launch and Availability

There is a recurring number we can see in the whole video i.e. 08-08! As I mentioned earlier, the outer screen only displays the time which is 08:08! A text is sent in the starting seconds of the video and it was sent on, you guessed it — 08:08! Seeing the fixation of the company on the number, it seems apparent that it's a hint for the launch date. This means the Huawei Nova Flip will likely launch on 8 August 2024!
