A couple of leaks from multiple sources have
revealed details about the Huawei nova 5i. Some suggest that this will launch
as the Huawei P20 lite (2019) in some regions, however, several of the rumored
specs don’t line up. The nova 5i was certified by Taiwan’s NCC with 4GB of RAM and 128GB
storage, plus up to 512GB extra with a microSD card. There will be a version
will 64GB storage as well.
The phone has passed through Geekbench as well,
showing a Kirin 710-level score. Huawei may announce the Kirin 720 any moment
now and we thought a nova phone will introduce it, but that doesn’t seem to be
the case. From FCC documents, we know that the nova 5i will have a 3,900mAh
battery. The NCC info suggests 10W charging.
Previous leaks offer more info, however it’s not
confirmed by official sources. The nova will have a 5.84” LCD with a punch hole
selfie camera. Also, a triple camera on the rear with a 24 + 16 + 2MP setup,
along with a TOF sensor.
A week ago leaked info claimed 40W fast charging
support for the Huawei nova 5 (note: no “i”). It remains to be seen how this
model fits into the “nova 5i” and “P20 lite (2019)” story.
