Rumors are rife that Huawei will announce the Nova 8 series of smartphones in China in December this year. The Nova 8 lineup is rumored to include three handsets Nova 8 SE, Nova 8, and Nova 8 Pro. Recent reports have revealed that these phones will be powered by Dimensity chipsets and not Kirin SoCs. Earlier today, a Weibo user shared a couple of live shots of the alleged Nova 8 Pro smartphone.
The Huawei Mate 40 Pro is expected to arrive with a waterfall display that has extremely curved left and right edges. The Mate 40 Pro is also rumored to be equipped with a pill-shaped punch-hole at the upper-left corner of the screen.
The alleged Nova 8 Pro can be seen sporting a similar display design. However, there are some elements that suggest that the handset that has appeared is not the Mate 40 Pro. First, the curved edges of the smartphone in the leaked shots are not as curvy as the waterfall screen that will be available on the Mate 40 Pro. Also, the top edge of the phone seems to be fitted with an earpiece, which the Mate 40 Pro is unlikely to feature.
Recent reports have revealed that the Huawei Nova 8 Pro will come with specs like 120Hz OLED screen and Dimensity 1000+ 5G chipset. It is likely to be priced at 3,999 Yuan (~$585).
The Huawei Nova 8 may come with a 90Hz display and Dimensity 820. The device could be priced at 3,299 Yuan (~$483). The Nova 8 SE with specs like Dimensity 800, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage could be coming with 2,799 Yuan (~$410).
