Back in July, the Chinese tech giant, Huawei, launched two new smartphones—the Huawei Nova 10 and Nova 10 Pro—under the new Nova 10 series. Both handsets supported only 4G connectivity. It is now reported that the company is working on a new 5G smartphone, dubbed the Hi Nova 10 5G, which will debut in China by October 20. Here are the details.

According to popular tipster Factory Director ShiGuan (machine translated), Huawei will be launched in China by October 20. The handset is said to be the 5G upgrade of the Nova 10, which was launched earlier this year. The alleged handset will feature specifications similar to Nova 10, says the tipster.
