In the previous week, Huawei held a global launch event to unleash the Huawei Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro+, and Mate 40 RS Porsche Design flagship phones. There will be a dedicated launch event for the Mate 40 series in China on Oct. 30. There are speculations that the Nova 8 series will break cover at some point in November. Over the weekend, a tipster from China claimed that not only the Nova 8 lineup but also the Honor V40 flagship series will be announced in the coming month. Also, a reliable leakster from China shared the full specifications of the Nova 8 SE smartphone.
Previous leaks have revealed that the Nova 8 family includes three handsets such as the Nova 8 SE, Nova 8, and Nova 8 Pro. There is less information available about the Honor V40 series at present. Last year, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor had announced the Honor V30 and Honor V30 Pro smartphones in November. Hence, there is a possibility that the company may announce the Honor V40 and Honor V40 Pro as successor models next month.

The Huawei Nova 8 SE is speculated to feature a 6.53-inch LCD screen with a punch-hole cutout. It is unclear whether the device has an under-screen fingerprint reader. The device measures 7.46mm in thickness and it weighs 178 grams.
