Earlier this week, it was announced that the Hi Nova 10 5G series will be announced in China on October 20. Now, the day is finally here and the company has launched two new smartphones in the lineup. So let’s have a look.

Hi Nova 10 Pro

To make a correction on our previous report, these smartphones are not from Huawei. Rather, the new Nova 10 series are being released by China Post. Thus, the smartphone features 5G connectivity. This means that the smartphones are basically the Huawei Nova 10 series in many ways, but with 5G support and different software. Thus, the Hi Nova 10 Pro sports a 6.78 inch OLED display that has a 120Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, the rear has an oval ring shaped camera module.

The front also houses a pill shaped cutout for a dual selfie camera configuration. This includes a 60 megapixel ultra wide angle that offers a 100° field of view and is paired with an 8 megapixel wide sensor. On the rear, the device features a triple camera module, with a 50 megapixel primary sensor, 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 2 megapixel depth shooter. Under the hood, the new smartphone is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC, which is a 5G enabled chipset. It is powered by a 4,500mAh battery pack that supports 100W fast charging.

The base smartphone model from the series is nearly identical to the Pro variant with specifications and outer appearance. Although, there are subtle differences. It sports a slightly smaller 6.67 inch display, but it still offers an OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. However, unlike the higher end version, it only offers a lone selfie camera on the front, which is a 60 megapixel ultra wide angle lens. However, the rear offers the same 50 megapixel triple camera setup as the Pro model.

Under the hood, the device is also equipped with the same Snapdragon 778G SoC. But unlike its more expensive sibling, this model is powered by a smaller 4,000mAh battery pack that supports just 66W fast charging. Notably, both the base and Pro variant of the Hi Nova 10 5G series also offers dual stereo speakers, under display fingerprint scanner, and reverse charging as well.

Pricing & Availabiity

Both of the new smartphones were launched in two different storage configurations, so here’s a list of their variants and prices:

• Nova 10 5G (8GB + 256GB) – 2,899 Yuan
• Nova 10 5G (8GB + 256GB) – 3,199 Yuan
• Nova 10 Pro 5G (8GB + 128GB) – 3,699 Yuan
• Nova 10 Pro 5G (8GB + 256GB) – 3,999 Yuan

The Hi Nova 10 and 10 Pro wil go on sale in China on 29th October 2022, across all channels. But unfortunately, the availability of these devices outside of the region is still unknown.

The post Hi Nova 10 5G series launched, with Snapdragon 778G & 120Hz OLED display appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, we had reported on a leak that claimed that Huawei is planning on launching a new smartphone series in China later this month. Now, an official announcement has confirmed that the Hi Nova 10 lineup will be launching on 20th October 2022.

As per official notes, the new devices from the Hi Nova 10 series include the base Hi Nova 10 and the Hi Nova 10 Pro variant. For those unaware, the Chinese tech giant had launched the Nova 10 and Nova 10 Pro earlier this year. However, due to the ongoing sanctions and restrictions, both handsets will be 4G only models. But now, the company is releasing the Hi Nova 10 series as the 5G enabled upgraded models. The Hi Nova 10 and Hi Nova 10 Pro will support 5G networking and are expected to have similar features as the Nova 10 lineup.

Based on earlier leaks, both models will support 5G, but the base model will come with 66W fast charging. On the other hand, the Pro variant will reportedly feature an impressive 100W fast charging support. Furthermore, the sale for the Hi Nova 10 will begin around 29th October 2022. The Nova 10 Pro model sports a 6.78 inch OLED display that has a 120Hz refresh rate and 2652 x 1200px resolution.

The front will also house a 60 megapixel front facing camera, while the entire Nova 10 series is equipped with the 4G Qualcomm Snapdragon 778 SoC. Since the Hi Nova 10 series is capable of 5G networking, it is unclear which processor will power the Hi Nova 10 and Hi Nova 10 Pro models. But stick around for more updates since we will be covering the launch event.
