Huawei finally has something that isn’t simply all doom and gloom to talk about. The company’s upcoming Huawei Nova 5 was just certified by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The new mid-range device was the last thing we heard about from Huawei before the recent ban. This launch however will be a pretty interesting one.
The Huawei Nova 5 may possibly be the last device to ever come from Huawei running the Android OS. That is, assuming it still runs Android when it ships. It’s fully possible Huawei will use the Nova 5 as a vessel to introduce their upcoming ARK OS to the public. We already know ARK or HongMeng OS might come in June, what better way to unveil it than alongside a product launch?
As of right now, we don’t know all that much about the Huawei Nova 5. The last we heard from it, we got to see some protective cases and renders. We also know it may come with a 40W charger inside the retail box.We also know there are two variants, the Nova 5 and Nova 5i with the codenames SEA-TL10 and SEA-AL10 respectively. Other than that, all we can really do at the moment is speculate.
The smartphone may include a 3,500mAh battery. For shooting selfies, it may feature a Sony IMX576 25-megapixel front-facing cameras. The triple camera system of the phone may feature a 12.3-megapixel Sony IMX380 wide-angle lens, a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor and a Sony IMX316 ToF (Time of Flight) sensor that was seen on the Honor V20 phone. As for the SoC, rumors suggest a Kirin 980, but we find that somewhat off.
