Huawei might soon unveil its Nova 13 series of premium mid-range smartphones in China. However, prior to any formal announcement, a new report has surfaced revealing more details about the Nova 13 Lite and some of its anticipated upgrades.
Huawei Nova 13 Lite may get a much-needed 5G upgrade
An unidentified Huawei smartphone, previously spotted with the PSD-AL00 model number on 3C certification, was believed to be part of the Nova 13 series, though the exact model was unclear. A NoteBookCheck report now suggests that this device is likely the successor to the Nova 12 Lite. For context, the Nova 12 Lite was the entry-level model in this premium mid-range line.

The earlier models were equipped with 4G and LTE networking capabilities. However, the upcoming version may finally support 5G processors. This implies that the base Nova 13, along with the higher-end Nova 13 Pro and Nova 13 Ultra, could feature 5G connectivity. Unlike the previous generation, the Nova 13 Lite might forgo the Snapdragon 778G in favor of a 5G Kirin processor. This device is anticipated to launch sometime later this year.
Charging and Camera Specifications
Based on the 3C certification, the Huawei Nova 13 Lite is expected to support 66W wired fast charging. This suggests that the more expensive Pro and Ultra variants might benefit from faster 100W wired fast charging. These models are also likely to include variable-aperture rear cameras. It remains uncertain whether Huawei will release the Nova 13 series in global markets outside of China in 2024.
