Huawei Nova 6 5G leaks in red; sports side-mounted fingerprint reader

It feels like it has just been two months since Huawei announced the Nova 5. However, it has been 5 months already, and that is a long time in the smartphone industry. A successor called the Nova 6 5G is coming soon and a press render of the red variant has leaked.

The image was shared on Twitter by Evan Blass and it shows the Nova 6 5G in a color that can be called Sunset Red. The phone has a punch-hole in its display for two selfie cameras just like that of the Galaxy S10+ but on the opposite side.

Unlike the Nova 5 which has an AMOLED screen with a waterdrop notch, the Nova 6 5G has an LCD display which explains why it has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and not an in-display fingerprint scanner. However, the phone is reported to have a 90Hz refresh rate, a first for a phone with an LCD display. This is the same display the Honor V30 5G has been reported to have.

The phone has triple rear cameras on the back and what we believe is a laser focus system flanks it on the right. Just like the Nova 5, it has the Nova branding at the bottom. You can also see the word “Nova” written multiple times across the back.

Although the Nova 5 isn’t a flagship phone, the Nova 6 5G will be since it has support for 5G and the Kirin 990 5G is Huawei’s only processor with an integrated 5G modem. The rest of its specs and camera configuration are still unknown. Its launch date is also still under wraps but we expect the Nova 6 5G will arrive later this month.
