China Post Communications Equipment Co. Ltd., which produces and distributes telecommunications equipment and products, is gearing up to launch a new series of smartphones in its home country.

The company has today confirmed through its official Weibo account that the Hi Nova 9 series smartphones will be launched on 2nd December. The teaser poster shared by the firm shows the tagline “explore the unseen together” but has not revealed much.

China Post Communication Equipment Co. Ltd. has opened a Weibo account in August this year but had not posted anything for a long time. That changed when the account became active earlier this year and teased content like “Hi, Future, “Hi, World,” and “Hi Dream,” forming “Future World Dream,” whatever that means.

Now, it has been confirmed that the company is all set to launch the Hi Nova 9 series smartphones in the country which is likely to have two models — Hi Nova 9 and the Hi Nova 9 Pro, made by Huawei.

If the leaked images are to be believed, then the upcoming Hi Nova 9 series looks very similar to the Huawei Nova 9 series phones launched by the Chinese giant. The front panel has a screen with a punch-hole cutout for housing two camera sensors in the top-left corner and the device has a frosted glass cover.

The camera module on the back panel is also similar to what we’ve seen. Not just the design, but the color of the smartphone in the leaked image is the same as what Huawei is offering for the Nova 9. However, on the back panel, instead of the Huawei branding, it reads “Hi Nova,” indicating the phone to be a rebranded model.

While the company has not yet revealed more details related to these upcoming smartphones, we expect them to be similar to the Huawei Nova 9 lineup in terms of specifications and color options. To know more about the phones, including the pricing and availability details, we will have to wait for a few more days for the official launch.

Huawei is finally back in the global market with an upper-midrange phone: the Huawei Nova 9. Unfortunately, the handset does not come with Google Mobile Services, but it has HarmonyOS on board and great specifications if we consider its listing price. Does it still represent a great choice if compared to the concurrence? In order to understand it, we decided to compare it with the other upper-midrange phones offering a high value for money. This is a comparison between the specifications of Huawei Nova 9, OPPO Reno6 5G, and Realme GT Master Edition.

OPPO Reno6 5G vs Realme GT Master Edition vs Huawei Nova 9

Design

Each of these handsets has its original design elements. Which one provides the best design? It is mostly a matter of tastes. The Huawei Nova 9 offers a premium look and feel, as well as a curved screen at the sides which you can usually find only on flagship phones. With the OPPO Reno6 5G, you get a flat display and flat border just like the latest iPhones: currently, just a few handsets have this form factor in the Android world. The Realme GT Master Edition comes in a special variant called Voyager Gray sporting a leather back. Due to its wider display, the Huawei Nova 9 comes with bigger dimensions, while the OPPO Reno6 5G is the thinnest and most compact one.

Display

If you are looking for the most advanced display, you should go for the Huawei Nova 9. It is the only one with an OLED display able to show up to one billion colors and it provides the HDR10 certification, as well as a 120 Hz refresh rate. The Realme GT Master Edition comes right after with an AMOLED display providing a Full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate, but just 16 million colors. The OPPO Reno6 5G is more or less at the same level in terms of image quality, but it has a lower 90 Hz refresh rate. All of the phones are equipped with an in-display fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

Huawei Nova 9 and Realme GT Master Edition are powered by the same Snapdragon 778G mobile platform paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS internal storage. The Snapdragon 778G is a slightly better processor if compared to the Dimensity 900 found on the OPPO Reno6 5G, but this handset has a memory configuration offering 12 GB of RAM in select markets (not Europe). Al the phones run Android 11 but, unfortunately, the Huawei Nova 9 does not have Google Mobile Services due to the limitations of the U.S. ban.

Camera

The most advanced rear camera belongs to the OPPO Reno6 5G: it has a better main camera with a brighter focal aperture. But with the Huawei Nova 9, you get a better front camera.

Battery

The biggest battery is provided by the Realme GT Master Edition which should also provide a longer battery life in most scenarios. OPPO Reno6 5G and Huawei Nova 9 have smaller 4300 mAh batteries, but they provide the same charging speeds as the Realme GT Master Edition thanks to 65W and 66W fast charging.

Price

The price of the OPPO Reno6 5G for the global market is €499/$570, just like the Huawei Nova 9. The Realme GT Master Edition starts from €349/$400 but you can find it for less than €300 thanks to online street prices. Given that there are no important differences between these three handsets, the Realme GT Master is the device offering the highest value for money and it even comes with a bigger battery. Do you agree?
