Earlier today (17th August 2021), we had reported on the Huawei Nova 9, which a tipster had suggested would launch sometime in the middle of September 2021. Now, the same person has revealed some additional information regarding the upcoming mid range smartphone.
According to @菊厂影业Fans on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, the company might be planning on launching the Nova 9 series in two variants. This includes a 4G variant and a 5G variant. For those unaware, the Chinese tech giant has been struggling with chip supply due to US sanctions, which even caused it to ship its latest Huawei P50 series of flagship smartphones without the support for 5G networking.
While the tipster had earlier stated that this device will support 5G, he further added that the brand will first launch the Nova 9 lineup in a 4G version. Reportedly, the Nova 9 will have the same marketing and distribution as the flagship P50 series, so it might arrive in a 4G variant before its 5G enabled version is launched. Furthermore, he had also previously stated that the design of the smartphone will be better than the Honor 50 series, although, the processor won’t be as powerful as the Qualcomm Snapragon 778 SoC.
A recent TENAA listing has offered us a first glimpse of the device, but finer details likes its specifications and pricing are unknown as of right now. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stay tuned for more as we will be providing updates when additional details are available regarding the upcoming Nova series of smartphones.
