Huawei has a busy release schedule ahead, with three phone lineups expected to launch before the end of 2024. The Nova 13 series, Mate 70 series, and the foldable Mate X6 are all on the docket, but it’s the Nova 13 that seems closest to hitting store shelves.
A leak from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station initially pointed to an October launch for the Nova 13 series. And now a new leak from Weibo tipster Fixed Focus Digital suggests a more specific date, October 22nd. Another Weibo tipster, UncleKanshan, also tipped the same release date, adding weight to the rumored launch.

The Nova 12 series launched on December 26 and went international in March, so if these rumors hold, the Nova 13 series will debut two months earlier than its predecessor.
Huawei Nova 13 Series Specification (Expected)
The Nova 13 series is likely to have four models, Nova 13 Lite, 13s, 13 Pro, and 13 Ultra. All the devices are expected to be powered by the same flagship Kirin 9010 SoC that drives the recently launched Huawei Pura 70 series. The Pro and Ultra models may also get satellite connectivity support.
The series could also adopt the XMAGE camera branding seen on Huawei’s Pura and Mate flagship devices. The series is also tipped to offer improved selfie photography with dual front-facing cameras.

Moving on to the display, leaks suggest a flat screen for the standard Nova 13, while the remaining models might sport a slightly curved design. All devices are rumored to offer a 1.5K resolution display, a comfortable middle ground between Full HD and Quad HD.
The Nova 13 series will likely come with the HarmonyOS Next operating system. The rear camera setup may feature variable aperture technology for the main camera, while the higher-end models could include a periscope telephoto lens. Although unconfirmed, these details point to a feature-packed mid-range offering.
