Huawei is expected to unveil the Nova 12 series of smartphones in the Chinese market this month (November). The lineup is expected to include multiple models, such as the Nova 12, Nova 12 Pro, and Nova 12 Ultra. In addition, there could be an entry-level model, which may succeed the Nova 11 SE, which debuted in October. A leaker from China has tipped some initial details about the said device.
According to the leaker, the Nova 12
series’ entry-level phone will not have the “SE” branding, meaning it won’t be
called the Nova 12 SE. It is probably because the Nova 11 SE was announced just
a few months ago. The new leak suggests that it could be called the Nova 12
Vitality Edition or Nova 12 Lite.
The tipster revealed that the alleged Nova
12 Lite will have a 60-megapixel camera on the front, and its rear panel will
have a 50-megapixel primary camera. For security, it will be equipped with an
in-screen fingerprint scanner. It appears that the entire Nova 12 series will
come in three shades, such as White, Black, and No. 12, which seems to be a
signature color.
Based on the previous release patterns, it
seems that the Vitality Edition could be priced at around 1,000 Yuan (US$ 139).
There is a possibility that the standard Nova 12 may come equipped with the
upcoming Kirin 830 chip. It could be priced at around 2,000 Yuan (US$ 278). The
Nova 12 Pro and 12 Ultra are likely to cost between 3,000 Yuan (US$ 417) and
4,000 Yuan (US$ 557). These devices may come equipped with the Kirin 9000s or the
newly unveiled Kriin 9006 chip.
In related news, Huawei will be holding a
launch event in Dubai tomorrow (Dec. 12). The company will unveil the MatePad
Pro 13.2 flagship tablet featuring the Kirin 9000s chip and open-style
headphones through the said event.
