Huawei is set to announce a new Nova phone soon called the Nova 5z but that is not the only Nova phone it is working on. The official Huawei Weibo account teased that the Nova 5 Pro will get a Jackson Yee limited edition next month.

Jackson Yee (Jackson Yi) is a Chinese singer, dancer, and actor. He is a member of the Chinese boy band, TFBoys. The teaser poster shows the Nova 5 Pro Jackson Yee Limited Edition will come in a purple box with the singer’s signature engraved at the top. It also reveals the phone will arrive in November but doesn’t reveal the exact date.

The limited-edition phone should come with special gifts not found in the standard version such as a signed case and memorabilia. The caption also hints at a ticket to a concert.

Spec-wise, the Nova 5 Pro Jackson Yee Limited Edition should be the same as the standard version.

The Nova 5 Pro has a 6.39-inch 2340 x 1080 screen with a waterdrop notch. It is an OLED panel, so Huawei has added an in-display fingerprint scanner. The phone is powered by the Kirin 980 processor and has 8GB of RAM with 128GB or 256GB of storage.

There are four cameras on the back of the phone – a 48MP primary camera, a 16MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2Mp depth sensor. It also has a 32MP selfie camera. Other features include a 3500mAh battery with support for 40W SuperCharge fast wired charging, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and EMUI 9.1 based on Android 9 Pie.

Huawei has not been specific about when the Nova 4 will launch in December but it appears it isn’t concerned about hiding the phone from the eyes of the public. Today, the Nova 4 made an appearance at the birthday party of the Nova series brand ambassador.

Chinese singer and member of musical pop group TFBoys, Jackson Yee, is a brand ambassador for Huawei’s Nova series and today is his eighteenth birthday. At the elaborate birthday party which had lots of guests present and was live-streamed, Huawei’s upcoming Nova 4 also made an appearance.

Images taken from the livestream show the phone’s front and the hole in its display. As you can see, the hole which houses the front-facing camera is on the same line as the network and notification icons. The position of the hole should be less distracting compared to a notch but the phone’s software should behave the same way it does for notched phones i.e black bars at the sides when watching a video.
