Huawei launched the Nova 12 series smartphones back in December 2023 in China. Now, the company is bringing the lineup to a global audience. Huawei confirmed via X/Twitter that it is hosting a “Nova 12 Series Product Launch” event scheduled for March 21st in Mexico.
As we reported earlier this week, pre-sales for one of the devices in the lineup, the Nova 12s have already begun in Mexico.
Additionally, Huawei Malaysia’s website has also teased the launch of the Nova 12 series in the country. The website confirms that Huawei will introduce three models — the Nova 12s, Nova 12SE, and Nova 12i.
This lineup differs completely from the Chinese Nova 12 series, which includes the Nova 12 Lite, Nova 12, Nova 12 Pro, and Nova 12 Ultra. Huawei Malaysia’s website has also revealed the full specifications for these upcoming smartphones.
Huawei Nova 12s Specifications
The Huawei Nova 12s measures 161.29 mm tall, 74.96 mm wide, and has a slim profile of 6.88 mm. It weighs around 168g and comes in Black, Blue, or White color options.
On the front, you get a 6.7-inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution (2412 x 1084) and a 120Hz refresh rate. Inside, the smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor and offers a generous 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal space.
On the rear, the Nova 12s features a 50MP main and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. For selfies, there’s a 60MP camera on the punch-hole cutout in the front. Last but not least, the device packs a 4500 mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging.
Huawei Nova 12 SE Specifications
The Huawei Nova 12 SE is slightly taller and wider than the Nova 12s, measuring 162.39 mm in height and 75.47 mm in width. It’s also slightly thicker at 7.39mm and a bit heavier at 186g. You’ll find this model in Black or Green color options.
Display-wise, the Nova 12 SE features a 6.67-inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution (1080 x 2400). However, it has a slightly lower refresh rate of 90Hz compared to the Nova 12s.
