Huawei Nova 2 Plus Bright Silver version was recently revealed in a video teaser to be in the works and we had thought it would go on sale on August 3. The fact is that the Bright Silver version of the Nova 2 Plus will open for pre-sale on August 3 and the preorder will be opened until August 8 while the device will open up for sale on August 9. The device is already listed on Huawei Mall (Vmall) and also on JD.com and Suning Tesco.

The new variant comes with a slightly higher price tag of 3,099 Yuan as against 2,899 Yuan for the other colour options with 128GB storage. The variant also has a mirror finish that is highly reflective. The soon-to-be-released variant brings a premium finish common with flagship models to a mid-range device. The Nova 2 and Nova 2 Plus were listed among the top selling Huawei models in the first half of the year. This new additional colour variant which is turning out to be a very popular option, considering how the Mi 6 and Sony Xperia XZ had a similar variant, could help continue the good sales.

Huawei has released a video teaser that unveils the impending release of a Silver coloured variant of the Nova 2 Plus. The new colour variant is billed for release on August 3 and would come with a mirror finish that would be highly reflective.

The upcoming release brings a premium finish to a mid-range device, a feature that is almost a regular on flagship models. A number of the recently released flagship models had a silver variant among their lineup. The Sony Xperia XZ featured a silver variant and also the Mi 6 had a Mercury Silver variant which it revealed would be going on sale soon. This is no doubt, in a bid to offer customers more option to choose from, thereby outwitting competitors.

Huawei has always maintained its resolve to capture not only the high-end, flagship category but also the mid-range section with a couple of sleek mid-rangers like the Huawei Nova and Nova Plus which were unveiled last year both in Europe and China. Now, photos of two Huawei smartphones which are believed to be mid-rangers have appeared on TENAA, China’s Telecom regulatory agency.

The smartphones are believed to be the next generation models of the Nova and Nova Plus and are said to go by the names Huawei Nova 2 and Nova 2 Plus. The Nova 2 looks smaller in size, perhaps a 5.1-inch display but with a design different from the Nova in that there is no front physical home button. The device also has an entirely black coloured display.

Perhaps, the most outstanding feature noticed on the two phones that appeared on TENAA is the dual rear cameras which are situated in a horizontal plane on both devices. The Huawei Nova and Nova Plus only feature single lens shutters at the rear but if this is really the Nova 2 and Nova 2 Plus, we really should brace up for some spectacular design on the camera aspect. As a matter of fact, both devices have strikingly similar design are the rear which could make one of them be mistaken for the other.

Other details of the device are not clear at the moment but we promise to bring you more on this as they unfold.
