Huawei unveiled the HUAWEI P50 series on Friday. Despite being premium smartphones with high-end chips like Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and HiSilicon Kirin 9000, they lack 5G support due to the US ban. Unsurprisingly, like other flagship phones in the market, they also don’t ship with a charger. Hence, the company has launched a new power adapter called HUAWEI 66W SuperCharge GaN Multi-port Charger.

HUAWEI 66W SuperCharge GaN Multi-port Charger Specifications and Features

As the name suggests, the new HUAWEI-branded charger uses GaN (Gallium Nitride) instead of silicon. Hence, it is not only smaller in size but also powerful. That’s not all, it also comes with three USB ports.

The three ports on the charger can output power at the following rates.

USB Type-A 1 (Orange)

• Protocol
  • HUAWEI SuperCharge
• Charging Rates
  • 11V 6A (66W)
  • 10V 4A (40W)
  • 5V 3A (15W)

USB Type-A 2 (Purple)

• Charging Rates
  • 10V 2.25A (22.5W)
  • 5V 4A (20W)
  • 5V 2A (10W)

USB Type-C (Orange)

• Protocols
  • USB PD (Power Delivery) 3.0
  • USB PPS (Programmable Power Supply)
  • SCP (HUAWEI SuperCharge)
  • FCP (HiSilicon Fast Charging)
• Charging Rate
  • 20V 3.25A (65W)

Thanks to multiple ports as well as support for various charging rates/protocols, this power adapter can be used to charge a wide variety of devices. Like most chargers, it also has 8 layers of protection for short-circuit, over-current, and under-voltage to name a few.

Last but not least, the new HUAWEI charger bears model number P0003, comes in a single white color option, measures 31 x 31 x 62mm in dimensions, weighs 110g, and ships without any USB cable.

Earlier today, Huawei confirmed that it will unveil the Nova 8 in China on December 23. While the official poster only has a silhouette of one smartphone, it is expected to reveal Nova 8, Nova 8 Pro. And now, the specs of both of the two devices have been leaked.

Tipster Digital Chat Station(via Mydrivers) has shared the supposed specifications of the Huawei Nova 8 and 8 Pro. To get things out of the way, he says that the images are for reference only. Anyway, the leak says that both the devices will retain the same Kirin 985 SoC from predecessor.

For the unaware, Huawei launched the Nova 7 series in April and Honor 30 series back in April. Both the series have the same SoC which is a slightly cut-down version of the Kirin 990 flagship SoC. Now, we aren’t sure how this would be possible considering early reports which say that the company’s Kirin SoC devices have been selling at high prices due to chipset shortage.

This is due to the US ban that effectively stops Huawei from producing its own Kirin SoC. Anyway, if it lands on Nova 8 series, one of the reasons could be the result of a survival mode. The company had to stock SoCs for the future before the US ban deadline arrived.

Huawei Nova 8, 8 Pro Specifications(Rumored)

Anyway, the spec sheet says that Huawei Nova 8 will have a 3D hyperboloid Glass design and a thickness of 7.64mm. It will likely feature a 90Hz OLED curved screen with 1 billion colors. For cameras, it will have a quad-camera setup(same on 8 Pro) with a 64MP main sensor. Other sensors include an 8MP ultra-wide, two 2MP macro and depth sensors. Upfront, it will have a 32MP selfie shooter.

The Nova 8 Pro, on the other hand, will have an ultra-curved screen(80° curvature) with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1 billion colors as per the leak. However, compared to non-Pro, this will have a 32MP and a 16MP dual selfie cameras. Apparently, it has features like vlog mode, front& rear dual-scene recording. It is worth noting that official teasers confirm the earlier report on the oval-shaped camera layout for the Nova 8.

That said, both the devices are said to feature the Huawei 66W SuperCharge technology. Further, Nova 8 and 8 Pro will have 8GB RAM and 128/256GB storage options. Regarding the price, rumors say that Nova 8 will start at 3,000 yuan($458), while the Nova 8 Pro will begin at 4,000 yuan($611). Let’s wait and see if these specs turn out to be true.

Honor V40 series was earlier rumored to launch in December. However, leaks recently said the series has been cut down to one device(Honor V40) after failing to feature a Kirin 9000 SoC. Currently, the device is currently expected to debut in January. Now, a tipster says it has got MIIT certification.

As Digital Chat Station reports(via ITHome), a device with a model number YOK-AN10 appears on China’s MIIT certification website. The listing shows the applicant as Glory Terminal Co Ltd.,(Translated) which refers to Honor. Further, the listing also confirms that the device will be a 5G device.

Now, if we recall, the tipster revealed the codename of the upcoming Honor smartphone last week. According to him, Honor V40 will have the codename YORK and model number YOK-AN10. Hence, the above listing and tipster’s info suggests that the device is most likely the V40 from Honor. Further, he also says that the Honor V40 will support 66W fast charging.

Precisely, he says that the standard charger of Honor is reportedly the same( HW-110600C0x) as Huawei. Previously, a Huawei 66W charger got China’s 3C certification back in July. It had the model number HW-110600C00 and rated as 11V/6A. This charging tech later debuted in the company’s latest flagship Mate 40 series.

While Honor is now effectively independent from Huawei, it seems like the company wants to use some of the latter’s technology even after parting ways. Anyway, the Honor V40 is likely to sport the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ SoC. Earlier rumors said that the device will feature an AMOLED 120Hz display, 50MP Sony IMX700 RYYB camera sensor. Let’s wait for more leaks in the coming days.
