Huawei's upcoming clamshell foldable, the Nova Flip, is gearing up for its August 8th debut. While previous leaks have revealed details about its displays, cameras, and battery, the chipset remained a mystery. That mystery has been solved thanks to a recent Geekbench listing, confirming the Nova Flip will indeed be powered by the Kirin 8000 SoC.
Key takeaways from the Geekbench appearance:

- GPU: Arm Mali-G610 @ 864 MHz
- RAM: 12GB
- Software: Listed as Android 12 (likely a misidentification of HarmonyOS)
Performance:
The Nova Flip achieved a single-core score of 1,000 and a multi-core score of 2,419 on Geekbench 6.2. While not groundbreaking, the performance aligns with the Kirin 8000's capabilities.
