Huawei has recently launched the Huawei Mate X5 foldable phone and the Mate 60 series of flagship phones. What’s interesting about these models is that they are the first 5G-enabled Huawei phones after the US sanctions. Going forward, the brand is expected to launch more 5G-enabled smartphones across different price points in the market. Rumors are rife that the brand is now working on the Nova 12 series of smartphones. It is also being said that the Nova 12 could be equipped with a new Kirin chip.
The Nova 11 lineup, which was announced earlier this year, includes multiple models, such as the Nova 11i, Nova 11, Nova 11 Pro, and Nova 11 Ultra. While the Nova 11i features the Snapdragon 680 4G, the other models have the Snapdragon 778G 4G chip. It appears that the brand may switch to its in-house Kirin chips for the upcoming Nova 12 lineup.
Huawei Nova 12 to feature Kirin 830
According to a Chinese tipster, the upcoming Nova model (which is the Nova 12 series) will be equipped with the Kirin 830 chipset. The tipster claims that it will be similar to the Kirin 9000s chip but with fewer cores. He further said that the price of the Nova 12 series will be similar to the Nova 1 series. It will inherit some distinctive features that are available on the Mate 60 series flagship phones, which will be distributed across this new device. At present, there is no information available about the specifications of the Nova 12 lineup.
It is speculated that apart from the Nova 12 lineup, Huawei may also announce other devices, such as new MatePad tablets and a Pocket-series clamshell phone. These devices are also expected to feature Kirin chipsets.
