Huawei is expected to launch the Nova 8i smartphone this month. Ahead of the launch, the Nova 8i has cropped up in the database of the Geekbench benchmarking platform to reveal its key specifications. Except for a few older phones such as Huawei P8 Lite, Huawei Y6 (2018), and a few Y-series phones that came with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips, most of the Huawei phones have featured its homegrown Kirin chipsets. However, the Nova 8i’s Geekbench listing (via) reveals that it will be driven by a Snapdragon chip.
Rumors surrounding the Nova 8i have claimed that it will be featuring the Snapdragon 662 mobile platform. The handset has appeared with its NEN-L22 model number on the benchmarking platform. The listing reveals that Qualcomm’s octa-core chip that fuels the Nova 8i has four CPU cores working at 1.80GHz and quad CPU cores ticking at 2.02GHz. The Snapdragon 662 offers the same processing speeds, which indicates that it could be present under the hood of the Nova 8i.
The Nova 8i’s Geekbench listing further reveals that it has 8 GB of RAM. The Android 10 OS available on the device could be overlaid with an EMUI skin. The handset scored 307 points in the single-core test of Geekbench, while it recorded 1290 points in the multi-core test.
Huawei Nova 8i specifications (Rumored)
The Huawei Nova 8i may house a 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel with a punch-hole design. It will support Full HD+ resolution, but it isn’t clear whether it will offer a higher refresh rate. There is no information on the front camera of the device, but its rear has a circular camera housing for a 64-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel quad-camera system.
The Nova 8i may come with a 4,300mAh battery that supports 65W rapid charging. For security, it will sport a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The Nova 8i is expected to arrive in three colors like Moonlight Silver, Starry Black, and Interstellar Blue.
