Earlier, media playfuldroid revealed that Huawei will launch a new mid-range phone called Huawei nova 8i in Southeast Asian markets such as Malaysia and the Philippines.
Judging from the exposed renderings, the Huawei nova 8i backplane does not use the design elements of Huawei nova 8 but uses a similar appearance to the Huawei Mate 30 series, equipped with a four-camera ring lens module.
In addition, judging from the recessed power button, the phone should be unlocked with side fingerprints.
In terms of parameters, Huawei nova 8i will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor. It will be equipped with a 64MP main camera + an 8MP ultra wide-angle camera + a 2MP macro + 2MP depth of field camera. It has a built-in 4300mAh capacity battery, it supports 66W Huawei super fast charge, running EMUI 11 of Android11, which will be upgraded to HarmonyOS in the future.
In terms of appearance, Huawei nova 8i uses a 6.67-inch LCD screen with a hole-punch solution on the left, with a screen-to-body ratio of 94.7%. It is available in three colors: Moonlight Silver, Starry Black, and Interstellar Blue.
Huawei nova 8 series is positioned as the industry’s first 5G mobile phone designed specifically for Vlog shooting. It adopts brand-new design elements and the body’s star-light ring lens group design is like a star trail and uniquely recognizable. Among them, Huawei’s nova 8 Pro uses an 80° Super curved ring screen design, the body is as thin as 7.85mm, and the weight is only 184g.
As a flagship Vlog mobile phone, the Huawei nova 8 Pro video lens supports 100° super wide-angle, super anti-shake, and 3Mic stereo radio, which can clearly pick up the sound within 5 meters and reduce the noise floor.
We all know that the Snapdragon 662 is a processor positioned for low-end mobile phones. This processor uses an 11nm manufacturing process and has its own unique advantages in terms of performance.
However, the Snapdragon 662 is a 4G mobile platform, which means that Huawei nova 8i will be a 4G mobile phone, but the phone should perform well in imaging, and the price is expected to be very cost-effective.
