Huawei is working hard to further populate its ever
expanding portfolio of smartphones and today’s new unveiling comes as no
surprise. Meet Huawei Nova 2i, a new FullView display smartphone that appeared
on the Malaysian department of Vmall, the manufacturer’s official online retail
store.
The device comes with 4 cameras and it seems to be
the International variant of the Huawei Maimang 6 that was recently unveiled
last week. It’s equipped with a 8-core Kirin 659 chipset, along with 4GB of RAM
and 64GB of internal storage.
The device comes with an
18:9, FullView display with minimal bezels and two cameras placed on top with
13MP+2MP resolution for awesome selfies. On the back we find two more cameras
(16MP+2MP), a fingerprint scanner and a LED flash that has been integrated into
the antenna band. There’s also a 3340 mAh battery inside, Android 7.0.1 Nougat
and Huawei’s EMUI 5.1 on top.
The Nova 2i model comes with a set of gestures you
can draw on the display in order to gain faster access to certain apps and
features. For example, drawing an S with the knuckle captures a long
screenshot, tapping twice with one finger takes a screenshot while tapping
twice with two fingers starts screen recording.
The Huawei Nova 2i is available in 3 colors (Blue,
Black, Gold) but there’s no info on its pricing yet.
