Huawei had just recently launched two new smartphones at a conference, namely the Nova 8 and the Nova 8 Pro. However, it seems like the company refrained from unveiling a special edition of the device, which features the theme of the popular mobile game Honor of Kings.

According to a recent Weibo post by blogger @看山的叔叔, a Chinese microblogging website, the company will soon launch a Huawei Nova 8 Pro Honor of Kings limited edition variant. For those unaware, Honor of Kings is an online multiplayer video game title for smartphones. It is an online battle arena developed by TiMi Studios and published by Tencent Games for both the iOS and Android platforms. At the moment, the game is one of the most popular titles in the world, especially in China.

So, it does not come as a surprise that China’s largest smartphone brand would launch a special edition based on the game. Although this news is still unconfirmed right now, so take the report with a pinch of salt for now. The Chinese tech giant is known for launching special editions of its popular smartphones so we might see an Honor of Kings variant as well.

While the aesthetic and design of the Nova 8 Pro Honor of Kings version could be unique, its specifications are likely to be the same. This includes the HiSilicon Kirin 985 5G mobile processor, a 6.72 inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and more. Furthermore, the device would likely arrive with optimizations to make the game run at 90fps. Unfortunately, the pricing and availability of the device are still unknown, so stay tuned for more updates.
