In December 2020, Huawei unveiled the Nova 8 5G and Nova 8 Pro 5G in China. Fresh information shared by a Chinese tipster (via) reveals that the company is gearing up to launch Nova 9 series by mid-September in the home market. He also shared some key information about the Nova 9 series.
According to the tipster, the appearance and colors of the Nova 9 5G series will be better than the Honor 50 series. However, its processor will not be as good as the Honor 50 lineup. To recollect, the Honor 50/50 Pro debuted in June as the world’s first phone powered by the Snapdragon 778G chipset.
At present, there is no information available on whether the Nova 9 series will be driven by a MediaTek or a Qualcomm chip. Hopefully, newer reports will reveal more information about the Nova 9 lineup.
In related news, a new Huawei phone with model number RTE-AL00 was certified by the TENAA authority of China (via) recently. The TENAA certification has no information on its specifications. However, its images available at the certification site have revealed that it could be an upcoming Nova series phone.
The RTE-AL00 has a Nova branding on its back and its appearance is very similar to the Nova 8 Pro 4G/5G smartphone. The display of the RTE-AL00 features a pill-shaped cutout, which indicates that it features a dual selfie camera system. The rear-facing camera module has two rings, the upper one has the main lens, whereas the second one features three cameras and an LED flash. While it is a 4G LTE phone, there is no word on its final marketing name. Hence, it remains to be seen whether it arrives as a Nova-series phone in the market.
