Earlier this week, it was announced that the Hi Nova 10 5G series announced in China on October 20. Now, the day is finally here and the company has launched two new smartphones in the lineup. The new Nova 10 series are being released by China Post. Thus, the smartphone features 5G connectivity. This means that the smartphones are basically the Huawei Nova 10 series in many ways, but with 5G support and different software. Thus, the Hi Nova 10 Pro sports a 6.78 inch OLED display that has a 120Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, the rear has an oval ring shaped camera module.
The front also houses a pill shaped cutout
for a dual selfie camera configuration. This includes a 60 megapixel ultra wide
angle that offers a 100° field of view and is paired with an 8 megapixel wide
sensor. On the rear, the device features a triple camera module, with a 50
megapixel primary sensor, 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 2 megapixel
depth shooter. Under the hood, the new smartphone is equipped with the Qualcomm
Snapdragon 778G SoC, which is a 5G enabled chipset. It is powered by a 4,500mAh
battery pack that supports 100W fast charging.
The base smartphone model from the series
is nearly identical to the Pro variant with specifications and outer
appearance. Although, there are subtle differences. It sports a slightly
smaller 6.67 inch display, but it still offers an OLED panel with a 120Hz
refresh rate. However, unlike the higher end version, it only offers a lone
selfie camera on the front, which is a 60 megapixel ultra wide angle lens.
However, the rear offers the same 50 megapixel triple camera setup as the Pro
model.
Under the hood, the device is also
equipped with the same Snapdragon 778G SoC. But unlike its more expensive
sibling, this model is powered by a smaller 4,000mAh battery pack that supports
just 66W fast charging. Notably, both the base and Pro variant of the Hi Nova
10 5G series also offers dual stereo speakers, under display fingerprint
scanner, and reverse charging as well.
Both of the new smartphones were launched
in two different storage configurations, so here’s a list of their variants and
prices:
- Nova 10 5G (8GB + 256GB) – 2,899 Yuan
- Nova 10 5G (8GB + 256GB) – 3,199 Yuan
- Nova 10 Pro 5G (8GB + 128GB) – 3,699 Yuan
- Nova 10 Pro 5G (8GB + 256GB) – 3,999 Yuan
The Hi Nova 10 and 10 Pro wil go on sale
in China on 29th October 2022, across all channels. But unfortunately, the
availability of these devices outside of the region is still unknown.
