As we reported earlier this week, pre-sales for one of the devices in the lineup, the Nova 12s have already begun in Mexico.

Additionally, Huawei Malaysia’s website has also teased the launch of the Nova 12 series in the country. The website confirms that Huawei will introduce three models — the Nova 12s, Nova 12SE, and Nova 12i.

This lineup differs completely from the Chinese Nova 12 series, which includes the Nova 12 Lite, Nova 12, Nova 12 Pro, and Nova 12 Ultra. Huawei Malaysia’s website has also revealed the full specifications for these upcoming smartphones.
