The HUAWEI nova 10 series is scheduled to tentatively release sometime in June and will continue to miss 5G capabilities, tipster Factory Director has said with a post on Weibo.

Due to the US ban, HUAWEI has been forced to stick to 4G for its smartphones for a couple of years now, so smartphones from the company with Snapdragon 888 and Kirin 9000 come with 5G disabled.

For this, it has been reported that HUAWEI will launch a mobile phone case, likely with an extra SIM card slot that can enable 4G phones to support 5G networks. It isn’t clear if the case is being developed by HUAWEI or if it’s the work of a third-party manufacturer, but it does bring hope to many HUAWEI fans.

The same tipster has also revealed that the said case could be launched together with the HUAWEI nova 10 series at the June launch event. If not with that, then it will likely be released after the third quarter.

Aside from the above, barely anything is known about the nova 10 series.

The last model of HUAWEI’s nova series was the nova 9 series, released in September last year. It comes with a 6.57″ display and has a quad-camera setup at the rear comprising 50 MP primary, 8 MP ultrawide, 2 MP depth, and 2 MP macro units. Under the hood, there’s the super-efficient Snapdragon 778G, although the chip loses its 5G capabilities.
