In December 2020, Huawei officially announced the Nova 8 and Nova 8 Pro smartphones but the models were only launched for sale a couple of days back. Also in December, there were rumors that the tech giant will launch a Special edition of the Nova 8 Pro. That has now happened as Huawei has announced the Nova 8 Pro King of Glory edition.
The special edition comes with an interesting design and a cool new UI theme. The purple back of the phone is engraved with the Luban character on top while the internals remain unchanged. In other words, the Nova 8 Pro King of Glory Edition features an Hisilicon Kirin 985 SoC and is available in an 8GB+128GB storage option.
The device is equipped with a 6.72-inch OLED panel with curved edges. It supports a custom resolution of 2676 x 1236 pixels, a 10-bit color depth, and a 120Hz refresh. The edges of the screen have an 80-degree curvature. The display is integrated with a fingerprint scanner.
The top-left corner of the display is a pill-shaped cutout that features a 32-megapixel main selfie camera and a 16-megapixel secondary lens. The back panel of the phone has a quad-camera system featuring a 64-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Its front features a 32-megapixel selfie camera.
Further, the Nova 8 Pro gets a bigger 3,900mAh rated battery and support for 66W fast charging. A recent leak had revealed that both phones could be available in 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage editions.
The special edition also costs as much as the regular version – it will go on sale in China tomorrow for CNY 3,999 ($620).
