China Post has a lineup of smartphones under its Hi Nova brand, and as the naming scheme indicates, the devices in the lineup are rebranded versions of the Huawei smartphones. The company recently expanded its portfolio of devices with the launch of the Hi Nova 9z smartphone.

Now, the Hi Nova 9z is available for purchase in the Chinese market. The 8GB RAM with 128GB storage model is priced at 1,799 yuan (~$270), while the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage model costs 1,999 yuan, which is about $299.

The smartphone features a 6.67-inch punch-hole display with a Full HD+ screen resolution of 2376 x 1080 pixels. It offers up to 120Hz high refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate, along with an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 94.7 percent.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 SoC, coupled with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage.

In the camera department, the phone has a triple-camera setup on the back that includes a 64-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. On the front side, the phone has a 16-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling and also comes with an AI beauty 5.1 feature.

The device is powered by a 4,300mAh battery which has support for 66W fast charging. It is claimed by the company that the phone can go up to 60 percent in just 17 minutes of charging, while the full charge takes around 40 minutes.

China Post has been launching new smartphones under its Hi Nova brand which are basically rebranded models of the devices from Huawei. The company has so far launched a few smartphones and is now gearing up to launch another.

A new Hi Nova series smartphone has appeared in the listing from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, revealing some key details about the device. The phone is believed to be named Hi Nova 9 SE.

It has been revealed that the smartphone features a 6.7-inch LCD display that offers a screen resolution of 2388 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. Under the hood, the phone is said to be powered by an octa-core processor with a maximum frequency of 2.2GHz.

While the exact processor has not been revealed, it is likely to be the MediaTek Dimensity 700, which is different from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 that’s powering the Huawei Nova 9 SE smartphone.

The leak also reveals that the device is powered by a 3,900mAh battery and comes with support for 66W fast charging technology. With some differences, we expect the smartphone to be similar to the Huawei Nova 9 SE.

The Hi Nova 9 SE could come with a quad-camera setup that includes a 108-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, a 2-megapixel macro sensor, and a 2-megapixel depth-of-field sensor. On the front side, there could be a 16-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

As the smartphone is not produced by Huawei, it is unlikely to come running the HaarmonyOS. Instead, the phone will be running the Android operating system with a custom user inter have from China Post.

China Post Communications Equipment Co. Ltd., which produces and distributes telecommunications equipment and products, is gearing up to launch a new series of smartphones in its home country.

The company has today confirmed through its official Weibo account that the Hi Nova 9 series smartphones will be launched on 2nd December. The teaser poster shared by the firm shows the tagline “explore the unseen together” but has not revealed much.

China Post Communication Equipment Co. Ltd. has opened a Weibo account in August this year but had not posted anything for a long time. That changed when the account became active earlier this year and teased content like “Hi, Future, “Hi, World,” and “Hi Dream,” forming “Future World Dream,” whatever that means.

Now, it has been confirmed that the company is all set to launch the Hi Nova 9 series smartphones in the country which is likely to have two models — Hi Nova 9 and the Hi Nova 9 Pro, made by Huawei.

If the leaked images are to be believed, then the upcoming Hi Nova 9 series looks very similar to the Huawei Nova 9 series phones launched by the Chinese giant. The front panel has a screen with a punch-hole cutout for housing two camera sensors in the top-left corner and the device has a frosted glass cover.

The camera module on the back panel is also similar to what we’ve seen. Not just the design, but the color of the smartphone in the leaked image is the same as what Huawei is offering for the Nova 9. However, on the back panel, instead of the Huawei branding, it reads “Hi Nova,” indicating the phone to be a rebranded model.

While the company has not yet revealed more details related to these upcoming smartphones, we expect them to be similar to the Huawei Nova 9 lineup in terms of specifications and color options. To know more about the phones, including the pricing and availability details, we will have to wait for a few more days for the official launch.

Huawei recently called out FedEx for attempting to reroute some of its packages to the US. While FedEx claimed it was done in error, the development prompted Huawei to issue a statement that it would re-evaluate its cooperation with the US courier company. The Chinese company has now gone into an alliance with China’s state-owned logistics giant China Post, a move that may not be unconnected with the FedEx issue.

China Post released a statement via a WeChat post that it’s forming a new “comprehensive strategic partnership” with Chinese telecoms giant Huawei. The Chinese courier firm stated that the two parties have signed a cooperation agreement which will see them deepening cooperation in finance, technology innovation, logistics, and talent cultivation. The post also revealed that Huawei’s co-chairman Eric Xu and China Post chairman Liu Aili were at the agreement signing ceremony held Wednesday. The partnership will see both companies set up a new technology application lab and a joint innovation center. 

This is in no way related to courier services but the timing is obviously a show of unity and this makes it special. Just a few days back, China’s postal regulator hinted that it will launch an investigation into US delivery company FedEx.
