Huawei officially announced the Nova 6 series comprising the Nova 6 5G, Nova 6 4G and Nova 6 SE earlier today. The models utilise the punch-hole selfie camera design that Huawei is gaining a growing reputation for using on its display, albeit on LCD panels. While the Nova 6 SE has a single punch-hole, the Nova 6 comes with a wider selfie punch-hole design which houses two sensors. We take a look at the Nova 6 design as captured in these hands-on pictures.

The front design has as its most prominent feature the dual selfie camera located at the top left corner of the display. The two sensors consist of a 32MP Sony IMX616 f/2.2 Autofocus camera paired with an 8MP 105° f/2.2 FF camera so you can take wide-angle selfies. The selfie camera is said to come with EIS, a portrait mode and a Super Night Scene mode. Huawei says it is the first phone to support 4K 30fps HD video recording with the selfie camera. Also, the selfie shooters are ranked by DxOMark as having the best selfie cameras.

The device utilises a 6.57-inch display with an FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels certified by TUV Rheinland. The bezels around the display are as thin as they can be making this one hell of an immersive screen.

The rear panel is made of glass and is curved on all angle which gives it not just some aesthetic value but makes the phone comfy to handle. The glass is coated using a dual-film dual-plating process with 14 nano-level coatings.

Still, on the rear panel, the Nova 6 5G packs a triple camera setup stacked vertically at the back. The camera setup consists of a 40MP RYYB Sony sensor with an f/1.7 aperture and a 1.2µm pixel size which allows for more light and an ISO of up to 204800. There is also an 8MP f/2.4 120° ultrawide angle camera and an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera with 30x ultra-long zoom, AF, and OIS. The phone has EIS and can record 4K HD videos.

The Nova6 also packs a side-mounted fingerprint sensor that doubles as the power button. The scanner/power button is located at the right side of the display alongside the volume rockers. The Kirin 990-powered flagship model also comes with a USB-C port which would deliver super-fast charging to the 4200mAh battery that is on-board the 5G version.

Six months after announcing the Nova 5, Huawei has announced a successor or rather successors. The Nova 6 family launched today in Wuhan, China and includes the Nova 6, Nova 6 5G, and the Nova 6 SE.

Nova 6 5G

The Nova 6 5G is the first Nova phone with support for 5G. It is more of a successor to the Nova 5 Pro rather than the Nova 5.

With respect to design, this is also the first Huawei phone with a large punch-hole that is home to two selfie cameras. It has an LCD display, so there is no in-display fingerprint scanner. Instead, Huawei has once again adopted the side-mounted fingerprint position where it doubles as the power button.

Huawei says the rear of the phone has a dual-film dual-plating process with 14 nano-level coatings. The material is glass and it is curved on all four sides for more comfortable handling.

The Nova 6 5G is available in four color variants – a color-changing purple, soy blue, black, and honey red. Of all four color variants, only the red variant has the Nova logo. The other three have Huawei’s own logo at the bottom.

Nova 6 5G Specs

Coming to specs, the Nova 6 5G (WLZ-AN00) has a 6.57-inch FHD+ 2400 x 1080 display that is certified by TUV Rheinland. The phone is powered by a Kirin 990 processor and it is paired with the Balong 5000 modem which brings support for NSA and SA 5G networks. The processor draws power from a 4200mAh battery with support for 40W SuperCharge Wired Charging. Huawei says the Nova 6 5G is the first phone to obtain a TUV Rheinland 5G mobile phone performance and experience certificate.

There is 8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of storage. It also has dual-SIM support (nano-only) and both SIM slots support 5G. However, only one SIM can use 5G at a time.

The Nova 6 5G has triple rear cameras – a 40MP RYYB Sony sensor with an f/1.7 aperture and a 1.2µm pixel size which allows for more light and an ISO of up to 204800. There is also an 8MP f/2.4 120° ultrawide angle camera and an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera with 30x ultra-long zoom, AF, and OIS. The phone has EIS and can record 4K HD videos.

The Nova 6 5G has a 32MP Sony IMX616 f/2.2 Autofocus camera that is paired with an 8MP 105° f/2.2 FF camera so you can take wide-angle selfies. The selfie camera has EIS, a portrait mode and a Super Night Scene mode. Huawei says it is the first phone to support 4K 30fps HD video recording with the selfie camera. The Nova 6 5G ranks first on DxOMark’s list of phones with the best selfie cameras.

The Nova 6 5G has NFC, Bluetooth 5.1, dual-band WiFi support, and dual-frequency GPS. It also supports reverse wired charging (5V 1A) via OTG. It runs EMUI 10 based on Android 10 out of the box.

Nova 6 5G Price and Availability

The Nova 6 5G has a price tag of ¥3799 (~$539) for the 128GB version and ¥4199 (~596) for the 256GB version. It will go on sale on December 12 at 10:08 AM.

Nova 6

The Nova 6 (WLZ-AL10) has the same design and even shares some of the specs of the 5G version but there are some key differences too.

It has the same 6.57-inch FHD+ display with the same punch hole but its 32MP selfie camera has a fixed focus. It also has an f/2.0 aperture. You still get an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle secondary selfie camera.

Another difference is the primary 40MP camera has an f/1.8 aperture and not f/1.7. It is paired with the same 8MP telephoto camera and 8MP ultrawide angle camera as the 5G version.

The Nova 6 has a Kirin 990 processor under the hood and is only available in one configuration – 8GB RAM + 128GB. It has a slightly smaller 4100mAh battery but still supports 40W SuperCharge wired fast charge. It also has Bluetooth 5.1, dual-band WiFi support, dual-frequency GPS, and reverse wired charging (5V 1A) via OTG. It runs EMUI 10 based on Android 10 out of the box too.

Nova 6 Price and Availability

The Nova 6 is priced at ¥3199 (~$454) and is available in Black, Blue, and the color-shifting purple. The Honeymoon Red is exclusive to the 5G version.

Huawei Nova 6 5G is all set to launch on December 5 in China. Now, a week before the official launch event, Huawei has opened up reservations for the device on stores like Huawei Mall (Vmall.com) in China. The reservation page bares the complete design of the upcoming smartphone, including two storage variants, 8GB RAM + 128GB and 8GB RAM + 256GB.

The Huawei Nova 5G reservation page also bares the complete design of the handset. The phone will come in four color options: Black, Blue, Purple-Blue gradient, and a special Red shade. The Red color version is special because it comes with the Nova 6 print all over the body. It’s subtle and looks pretty unique.

Apart from the colors, the images also confirm that the Nova 6 5G will come with a dual punch-hole display on the front and a quad-camera setup at the back. We can also see a fingerprint sensor on the right side of the device. Finally, the company has confirmed that there will be a 4G version of the device as well.

The Huawei Nova 6 5G could be housing the same 6.57-inch IPS LCD display that is available on the Honor V30. The punch-hole houses two cameras sensors out of which one is a 32-megapixel sensor. The company has confirmed that the phone will allow the user to capture 105-degree wide-angle selfie shots.

The phone is expected to come equipped with a Sony IMX686 60-megapixel quad-camera setup on its back. We could also see the Kirin 810 powered Nova 6 SE smartphone alongside Nova 6 on Dec. 5.

Just as Honor is gearing up for the launch of the V30 series, Huawei is also working on the Nova 6 5G phone. There have been multiple leaks about the phone but there hasn’t been any official confirmation until now.

Huawei’s official Weibo account has shared the first video advert that confirms the Nova 6 5G is coming soon. The short video gives us a good look at the front of the device and its punch-hole display which houses two cameras.

The Nova 6’s punch-hole is on the left side unlike that of Samsung’s Galaxy S10+ which has its own on the right. The bezels are not completely gone as there is still a bit of chin.

The phone’s volume rocker is visible on the right frame and just right after it, you can see the break in the frame where the indentation created for the side-mounted fingerprint scanner/power button.

At the end of the video, Huawei reveals the Nova 6 5G will be able to shoot 105° super wide-angle selfies, no tanks to its secondary selfie camera.

A leak from earlier this month revealed the Huawei Nova 6 5G will have an LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Kirin 990 processor and will have a 4000mAh battery with support for 40W SuperCharge fast charging. Its dual front-facing cameras are reported to be a 32MP +12MP combo while the rear is said to house 60MP + 16MP + 2MP + 2MP quad cameras.

Huawei is yet to announce a release date but we will not be too surprised if it launches on November 25 alongside the MatePad Pro tablet.

The Huawei Nova 6 is expected to go official by December. The smartphone is rumored to hit the Chinese markets in 4G and 5G editions. Couple of renders of the Nova 6 have already surfaced to reveal its design. A fresh report on My Smart Price has revealed the full specifications of the Huawei Nova 6.

Huawei Nova 6 Specifications (Rumored)

The Huawei Nova 6 is rumored to be equipped with a 6.44-inch display that offers full H resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. Since it features a side-mounted fingerprint reader, it could be equipped with an IPS LCD display. Previous reports have claimed that the Nova 6’s display a refresh rate of 90Hz. However, the publication claims that the phone supports the traditional 60Hz refresh rate.

The elliptical punch-hole on the display of the Nova 6 has a 32-megapixel primary lens and a secondary sensor of 12-megapixel. The back panel of the phone is rumored to be equipped with 60-megapixel + 16-megapixel + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel quad camera setup. It is speculated that the Sony IMX686 60-megapixel could be the primary sensor of the Nova 6.

The Nova 6 is likely to be fueled by Kirin 990 chipset.  The smartphone may come in 8 GB and 12 GB of LPDDRX RAM editions. It may arrive in UFS 2.1 storage variants of 128 GB and 256 GB. It could be packed with a 4,000mAh battery. The 3C appearance of the phone has revealed that it could be coming with 40W fast charging (Magic Charge) technology.

The report does not clearly mention the different variants of the Huawei Nova 6. However, it states that the three editions of the phone could be respectively priced at 3,499 Yuan (~$499), 3,799 Yuan (~$542) and 4,099 Yuan (~$584).

Readers are advised to digest the Huawei Nova 6 specs leak with a pinch of salt as there is no concrete evidence to prove its authenticity. A recent report had revealed that the WLZ-AL10 model number belongs to the Nova 6 4G whereas the Nova 6 has a model number of WLZ-AN00. Even the Nova 6 5G supports 40W fast charging. The specifications of the smartphone are currently under the wraps. The Nova 6 is expected to arrive in color editions such as purple, blue, black and red.

It feels like it has just been two months since Huawei announced the Nova 5. However, it has been 5 months already, and that is a long time in the smartphone industry. A successor called the Nova 6 5G is coming soon and a press render of the red variant has leaked.

The image was shared on Twitter by Evan Blass and it shows the Nova 6 5G in a color that can be called Sunset Red. The phone has a punch-hole in its display for two selfie cameras just like that of the Galaxy S10+ but on the opposite side.

Unlike the Nova 5 which has an AMOLED screen with a waterdrop notch, the Nova 6 5G has an LCD display which explains why it has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and not an in-display fingerprint scanner. However, the phone is reported to have a 90Hz refresh rate, a first for a phone with an LCD display. This is the same display the Honor V30 5G has been reported to have.

The phone has triple rear cameras on the back and what we believe is a laser focus system flanks it on the right. Just like the Nova 5, it has the Nova branding at the bottom. You can also see the word “Nova” written multiple times across the back.

Although the Nova 5 isn’t a flagship phone, the Nova 6 5G will be since it has support for 5G and the Kirin 990 5G is Huawei’s only processor with an integrated 5G modem. The rest of its specs and camera configuration are still unknown. Its launch date is also still under wraps but we expect the Nova 6 5G will arrive later this month.

Recent reports have revealed that Huawei may launch the Nova 6 smartphone in December. A leaked render that had surfaced in the previous week had revealed the front and rear sides of the phone. The smartphone is expected to arrive in 4G and 5G editions in the home market. The WLZ-AL10 and WLZ-AN00 are the respective model numbers of the Huawei Nova 6 and Nova 6 5G smartphones. Both smartphones have received approval from the 3C authority in China through which their fast charging capabilities have been revealed.

Past reports have revealed that WLZ-AN00 is the model number of the Huawei Nova 6 5G smartphone. The 5G edition of the Nova 6 has bagged approval from China’s MIIT authority. The WLZ-AL10 model has been also spotted with other model numbers such as WLZ-AN00, WLZ-LX2, WLX-L29 and many other variants on the database of Bluetooth SIG body.

Now, WLZ-AL10 and WLZ-AN00 models have been certified by China’s Compulsory Certificate (CCC) in the home market. The HW-100400C00 charger that has been approved along with the phone supports up to 40W rapid charging.

As of this writing, there are no leaks on the Huawei Nova 6 and Nova 6 5G smartphone. The Nova 5G smartphone could be fueling the Kirin 990 5G chipset. Both phones are expected to arrive with identical specs and the only difference on the 4G variant could be that it could be featuring a different SoC.

The Nova 6 smartphone that had leaked in the past week had revealed that it is equipped with a glass-body. The handset is equipped with a punch-hole OLED display. The elliptical punch-hole is fitted with two front-facing cameras. The screen seems to be embedded with an in-screen fingerprint reader.

The backside of the Huawei Nova 6 has a vertical camera module that houses three lenses and an LED flash. Alongside it seems to be a laser autofocus unit or a fourth camera sensor. The right edge of the smartphone features a volume rocker and a power key.

Now that the Nova 6 and Nova 6 5G phones have bagged 3C approval, it may soon appear on TENAA with its entire specifications.
