Huawei’s highly-awaited Nova 13 series smartphone release has been postponed, as reported by reputable industry insider Digital Chat Station. The series, which was initially expected to launch in August, will now not be making an appearance.
Upcoming Flip Phone
In place of the Nova 13 series, the Chinese tech behemoth is preparing to launch a Nova-branded flip phone. Although specifics about this forthcoming device are limited, the Nova line's reputation for combining high-end features with competitive pricing suggests a similar strategy for the new flip phone.
Anticipated Features of Nova 13 Series
Regarding the delayed Nova 13 series, there are some intriguing rumored specifications. The Pro and Ultra models are speculated to include satellite connectivity, a feature gaining popularity recently. These devices might be powered by the same flagship Kirin 9010 SoC found in the newly released Huawei Pura 70 series.
The Nova 13 series is also expected to adopt the XMAGE camera technology currently utilized in Huawei’s Pura and Mate flagship models. Enhanced selfie capabilities are anticipated, thanks to dual front-facing cameras.
Display and Operating System
Leaks indicate that the standard Nova 13 may feature a flat screen, while the other models could have a slightly curved design. All devices are rumored to boast a 1.5K resolution display, balancing between Full HD and Quad HD.
Pre-installed with the HarmonyOS Next operating system, the Nova 13 series is also rumored to have a rear camera system with variable aperture technology for the main camera. The higher-tier models might include a periscope telephoto lens. Although these details are yet to be confirmed, they hint at a potentially feature-rich mid-range offering.
While fans might be disappointed by the delay of the Nova 13 series, the introduction of a Huawei-branded flip phone brings an exciting new aspect to the company’s smartphone lineup. Stay tuned for further updates on these devices.
