Huawei is no stranger to the foldable smartphone market, and its latest device, the Nova Flip, uses a compact clamshell folding method.
This is the first foldable product in the Nova series and is also positioned in the fashion direction with a variety of bold colors. Although it is mainly advertised as a fashion accessory, the Nova Flip has impressive hardware including a teardrop hinge mechanism that has passed rigorous testing by Swiss SGS and is rated to be able to bend 1.2 million times.
The device is only 6.88mm thick when opened and weighs 195 grams.

Foldable smartphones are a prime example of cutting-edge engineering and design in phones. Over the past decade, we’ve seen smartphone brands unveil a range of foldable, rollable, expandable, and shrinking screen technologies, but there’s a big difference between demonstrating a great idea and making it a commercial reality.
Now, rumors are pointing toward what could be the next evolutionary stage of the foldable phone, with reports of the world's first "tri-folding display" prototype, as reported by Android Authority.
