Huawei has announced its new Nova 9 series of smartphones in China today. The new Nova phones are focused on providing the best-in-class camera performance and Huawei has pulled all the stops to achieve this. The Nova 9 series also comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G chipset, and an incredibly fast charging technology.

Nova 9 and Nova 9 Pro Specs

The Nova 9 has a 6.57-inch 2340 x 1080 screen while the Nova 9 Pro packs a bigger 6.72-inch 2676 x 1236 screen. Both displays are curved OLED panels with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 300Hz touch sampling rate, and a P3 color gamut. One distinguishing feature is that the standard model has a centered punch hole for a single camera while the pro model has a bigger cut-out on the top left corner for two cameras.

Both Nova 9 phones have the Snapdragon 778G processor under their hood but with 4G instead of 5G. The chipset is paired with 8GB of RAM and both phones will be available in 128GB and 256GB configurations.

The cameras are an important part of these phones, so we will talk about them under a separate heading. For the rest of the specs, the Nova 9 has a 4300mAh battery capacity with support for 66W fast charging while the Nova 9 Pro has a smaller 4000mAh battery but charges faster at 100W. Huawei claims the pro model will charge from empty to full in 20 minutes. The pro model also has VC + graphene cooling to keep the temperature down when playing games or running CPU-intensive tasks.

The two phones have Bluetooth 5.2 with support for LDAC, NFC with support for payment, dual-band Wi-Fi, dual-SIM support, dual-frequency GPS with support for NavIC, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. Huawei will ship both phones with HarmonyOS 2 out of the box.

The camera department is one of the major differences between both phones. The Nova 9 Pro has two 32MP front-facing cameras – one sensor is an ultrawide angle camera with an f/2.4 aperture while the other is an f/2.0 portrait camera. On the Nova 9, there is a single 32MP front-facing camera.

Huawei says the front cameras can record in 4K, slow motion, shoot portrait videos, and have video stabilization. There is also night mode for videos, and support for recording time-lapse videos. For photos, users can take ultrawide angle selfies, portrait selfies, and portrait selfies with night mode.

The rear camera packs several features such as vlog mode, audio zoom, night mode, dual view video which allows you to record from both the front and rear cameras at the same time, and timelapse mode. One interesting feature is Multi-camera mode which allows you to connect to a nearby phone and get more angles for the shot you want to take or the video you are recording. The two phones also come with Petal Clip, a one-click video-editing software.

The post Huawei Nova 9 launch date tipped appeared first on Gizmochina.

A new report from a known tipster has revealed the launch date for the upcoming Huawei Nova 9 series. The lineup will apparently launch in late September 2021 and will be available with sufficient stock right from the start.

The information was shared by @菊厂影业Fans on his Weibo account, a Chinese microblogging website, earlier this week. As per the known tipster, the company will be launching the device late next month, however, the online post did not reveal any specific date or time of the launch. Notably, the September launch is in line with previous reports although the launch conference was initially expected to be in the middle of the month. The brand might have shifted the dates to a later time to better stock up on the upcoming devices.

He stated that the Chinese tech giant has also prepared sufficient stocks for the Nova 9 series. The leakster claimed that the inventory of the device is more than the Huawei P50 series that was previously launched. In other words, customers awaiting the launch of the new handsets wouldn’t have to worry about a shortage, which has been an issue during smartphone launches in the past as well. Furthermore, @菊厂影业Fans also added that there will be many new products that will be released alongside the Nova 9. Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing exactly which products will be launching next month as of right now but it could be a new all in one PC and a desktop printer going by our previous report.

While finer details of the Nova 9 series is currently unknown, we do have certain specs thanks to a 3C certification. The Nova 9 Pro will support up to 100W fast charging while the base model will support up to 66W fast charging. Meanwhile, another tipster had revealed that the Pro variant will be powered by a large 4,000mAh battery pack while the base variant will house a 4,500mAh battery pack.

The post Huawei Nova 9 series to launch in late September with sufficient stock: Tipster appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huawei will announce the Nova 9 series next month according to multiple sources. The new phones have received their 3C certificates and it reveals some key details about them.

The Chinese manufacturer will launch two Nova 9 phones first but more should be released later considering the Nova 8 series has more than four models. The Nova 9 and Nova 9 Pro are the first two that will be announced and the 3C certificate reveals their model numbers are NAM-AL00 and RTE-AL00 respectively.

The certificate shows that the Nova 9 Pro will have support for multiple charging ratings. The phone will be able to charge at 10W, 66W, and also 100W. The Nova 9, on the other hand, will support 10W, 40W, and 66W fast charging.

Another important detail the certificate reveals is that both phones support LTE and not 5G. This confirms an earlier report that Huawei will launch 4G variants of the Nova 9 series before the 5G models.

In related news, the Chinese leaker, Bald Panda, posted on Weibo that the Nova 9 will have a 4500mAh battery while the Nova 9 Pro will have a smaller 4000mAh battery. The post also mentioned that the former will have support for 66W fast charging while the pro model will max out at 100W.

The Nova 9 series will have a design similar to that of the Nova 8 series, so we will be seeing a return of the gigantic pill-shaped camera housing. The rest of the specifications are still unknown but we should see more details surface in the weeks leading up to the release of the phones.
