Huawei today held a launch event in China where a number of products were released including the Nova 6 5G as well as a 4G version, a smart Weighing scale and the Huawei Band 4 Pro. The company also sprang a surprise by unveiling the Nova 6 SE, a smartphone that falls on the mid-range segment but with an impressive design. Huawei Nova 6 SE has as its most outstanding feature a rear camera design that looks like that of Apple’s latest iPhone 11. 
The Huawei Nova 6 SE utilises a single punch-hole display design unlike the Nova 6 with a wider cut-out that houses two selfie cameras. The punch-hole is situated at the top left corner of the display and does a great job in ensuring the device has an extremely reduced bezel at the top. The bezel at the chin is also at its barest minimum as well as the side bezels.

At the back, the camera design is the most prominent feature. The Nova 6 SE packs a quad camera setup. What makes it stand out is that the cameras are sitting on a square-shaped module which looks very similar to what Apple did on the iPhone 11 series. Apple may have been the first to utilise such design style but it is safe to speculate that Huawei had the iPhone 11 in mind when choosing the design. The Nova 6 SE utilises four rear camera arranged symmetrically on the module while the LED flash is just under the module. The main camera is a 48MP sensor with AI/beauty features. The front punch-hole houses a 16MP camera for selfies.
The Huawei Nova 6 SE is equipped with a 6.4-inch full-screen LCD display and is powered by an Hisilicon Kirin 810 chipset. The device comes in 8GB RAM and 128GB storage option. It packs a decent 4200mAh battery under the hood with support for 40W super-fast charging. The device doesn’t have a fingerprint sensor at the rear instead, it utilises a side-mounted sensor located at the left edge of the display.
The Nova 6 SE is available in three colors: magic night black, cherry snow clear sky, and Qijing Forest. As for the pricing and availability, the Nova6 SE is priced at 2199 yuan ($311). Pre-sale is billed to commence at 10:08 AM on December 18 while it will officially on sale on December 25.
