In June, Huawei had launched the Nova 5 series of smartphones by announcing Nova 5, Nova 5 Pro and Nova 5i. The Chinese firm has been selling the Nova 5i in the home market in 6 GB and 8 GB RAM variants. TENAA has a new listing for GLK-LXU1. This model number belongs to the Nova 5i. A careful look at its specs reveals that it is the upcoming 4 GB RAM variant of the Nova 5i smartphone.
In China, the Nova 5i is available in 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage models. Both were respectively priced at 1,999 Yuan (~$285) and 2,199 Yuan (~$313) at launch. However, they are now available with revised pricings of 1,799 Yuan (~$256) and 1,999 Yuan (~$285).
The newly spotted 4 GB RAM edition may come to China in 64 GB and 128 GB storage models. It could be available in black, blue and red colors. The specs of 4 GB RAM are identical with its 6 GB / 8 GB RAM editions. However, one major change that can be seen on its TENAA listing is that it features a 16-megapixel selfie camera instead of the 24-megapixel front camera found on the 6 GB / 8 GB RAM models.
Huawei is expected to soon confirm on the arrival of the Nova 5i 4 GB RAM model. The new variant could be arriving around the upcoming Nov. 11 Singles’ Days sale in China. Probably, the 4 GB RAM variant may have a starting price of 1,399 Yuan (~$199).
