Ahead of the launch event, purported image renders of the expected Huawei Nova phone has been leaked online, giving us a glimpse of what to expect from the Chinese market leader. From the photo’s we not only get to see what the body design looks like but also the display interface design. Of course, the user interface will still be Huawei’s custom EMUI and the design still looks like the typical EMUI style with icons like the three virtual buttons retaining their position under the screen. On the physical design of the Huawei Nova device, the phone looks very similar in design to Huawei’s Nexus 6P.

On the specs, the Huawei Nova is rumored to come powered by an octa-core Kirin 960 chipset, alongside 4GB of RAM. The beautifully designed rear camera is also said to pack a 16MP sensor with LED flash and on the front, there is an 8MP camera. The Nova smartphone is also rumored to cram a 3,500mAh battery under the hood with impressive battery life.

It is worthy of note that an earlier rumor from an industry analyst had revealed that Nova brand is targeted at the women folks. Also, we are likely to see the Nova and Nova Plus models today. Both smartphones are expected to be priced above 2,000 Yuan ($300).
