Earlier this week, the upcoming Huawei Nova 5i smartphone with model number GLK-AL00 / TL00 was approved by TENAA authority in China. The TENAA listing had revealed the entire specifications of the smartphone, but its images had not appeared. Today, the TENAA listing of the phone has been updated with the images through which it has been revealed that it will be featuring a punch-hole display and quad camera setup.
Huawei Nova 5i Design
The Nova 5i features a display with a round shaped cutout at its top-left corner. The earpiece of the phone is lodged on its top bezel. The right side of the smartphone features a volume rocker and a power key.
The back panel of the Nova 5i has a shiny appearance. Probably, it could be featuring a polycarbonate rear with glossy appeal. A fingerprint scanner is available on the backside of the smartphone. At the top-left corner of the Nova 5i are three camera sensors followed by LED flash. There is a separately placed camera sensor besides the vertical camera module. It could be a ToF (Time of Flight) sensor.
The front and rear design of the smartphone resembles with the Huawei P20 Lite (2019) smartphone that has recently gone official in Europe. Not only the design, but also both phones are packed with identical specs. Hence, it appears that the P20 Lite (2019) could be releasing in China as Nova 5i.
Huawei Nova 5i Specifications and Features
The Huawei Nova 5i has a 6.4-inch IPS LCD display that delivers full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. The AnTuTu listing of the phone had confirmed that the phone will be fueled by Kirin 710 chipset. The smartphone is expected to release in China in 6 GB and 8 GB RAM editions. Both models are likely to be equipped with 128 GB of native storage.
The quad camera setup of the phone could be featuring a 24-megapixle primary sensor, an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel sensor for adding depth effects and a ToF lens. The smartphone will boot to Android 9 Pie OS and EMUI 9.1 UI. The handset may lack a microSD card slot. The 4,000mAh battery of the Nova 5i may not carry support for rapid charging.
Huawei will be holding a launch event on June 21 to announce the Nova 5 series. Apart from Nova 5i, it may debut Nova 5 flagship phone on the said date.
