Yesterday, Huawei held a launch event in China. The star of the conference was the Huawei Nova 12 series, the company’s latest upper mid-range smartphone lineup.

All four devices in the series went up for pre-order post their announcement. Within a day, three of these phones are already sold out.

The only model that’s currently available is the most affordable one — Nova 12 Lite.

The handsets that are sold out are Nova 12, Nova 12 Pro, and Nova 12 Ultra. The latter two support 5G connectivity, while the vanilla variant is limited to 4G just like the lite version.

Huawei’s share in the Chinese smartphone market has been increasing ever since it quietly released the Mate 60 series. The newly unveiled Nova 12 series seems to be receiving a similar response from consumers like the Mate 60 lineup.

As Huawei is not known for disclosing units sold like other Chinese brands, we will have to wait for data from research firms. Anyways, the company should restock the phones soon.

The primary highlight of the Huawei Nova 12 series is that it debuts two new HiSilicon chipsets, namely Kirin 9000SL and Kirin 8000. The former is present inside ‘Ultra’, whereas the latter runs the standard and ‘Pro’ models.

As of now, we don’t have details on these chips. Reports say the Kirin 9000SL is a downgraded Kiriin 9000S that powers the Mate 60 series and Mate X5. On the other hand, the Kirin 8000 is paired with a 5G modem inside the Nova 12 Pro but lacks the same for the vanilla Nova 12.

The odd one out is the Nova 12 Lite which houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC with a 4G modem.

Huawei is expected to unveil the Nova 12 series of smartphones in the Chinese market this month (November). The lineup is expected to include multiple models, such as the Nova 12, Nova 12 Pro, and Nova 12 Ultra. In addition, there could be an entry-level model, which may succeed the Nova 11 SE, which debuted in October. A leaker from China has tipped some initial details about the said device.

Huawei Nova 12 Vitality Edition

According to the leaker, the Nova 12 series’ entry-level phone will not have the “SE” branding, meaning it won’t be called the Nova 12 SE. It is probably because the Nova 11 SE was announced just a few months ago. The new leak suggests that it could be called the Nova 12 Vitality Edition or Nova 12 Lite.

The tipster revealed that the alleged Nova 12 Lite will have a 60-megapixel camera on the front, and its rear panel will have a 50-megapixel primary camera. For security, it will be equipped with an in-screen fingerprint scanner. It appears that the entire Nova 12 series will come in three shades, such as White, Black, and No. 12, which seems to be a signature color.

Based on the previous release patterns, it seems that the Vitality Edition could be priced at around 1,000 Yuan (~$139). There is a possibility that the standard Nova 12 may come equipped with the upcoming Kirin 830 chip. It could be priced at around 2,000 Yuan (~$278). The Nova 12 Pro and 12 Ultra are likely to cost between 3,000 Yuan (~$417) and 4,000 Yuan (~$557). These devices may come equipped with the Kirin 9000s or the newly unveiled Kriin 9006 chip.

In related news, Huawei will be holding a launch event in Dubai tomorrow (Dec. 12). The company will unveil the MatePad Pro 13.2 flagship tablet featuring the Kirin 9000s chip and open-style headphones through the said event.
