The post Huawei AI-Enabled Coronavirus diagnosis tool equipped in various hospitals in Ecuador and Philippines, More to follow soon appeared first on Gizmochina.

First, Huawei announced the Nova 3e (in Malaysia) which is actually the same device as the P20 Lite. Then the Nova 3 got an early reveal today even though it isn’t due to launch until July 18. And now there is the Nova 3i which is heading to The Philippines.

The poster for the Nova 3i was spotted by a Facebook user who then shared it on a Huawei and Honor Philippines group on the platform.

The poster shows the Nova 3i will also have a notch like the Nova 3 and Nova 3e. It will also have  “24MP Four AI Cameras” and 128GB of storage. The Nova 3 has four cameras, so there is a chance this is the same device but launching under a different name. It may also pack different specs.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Nova 3 already has multiple variants. Last year’s Nova 2 has multiple variants too. Apart from the main Nova 2, there is the Nova 2 Plus, the Nova 2 Lite (Huawei Y7 Prime 2018), the Nova 2i (Maimang 6/Honor 9i/Mate 10 Lite) and the Nova 2s.
