HUAWEI has introduced a couple of new nova phones to the global stage: the HUAWEI nova 12i, nova 12s, and nova 12 SE.

Unlike the other two, the HUAWEI nova 12i is an entirely new phone. It is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680-powered device with 8GB of RAM and an option between 128GB and 256GB of storage. A 6.7-inch LCD screen is on the front with a high 90Hz refresh rate and an 8-megapixel selfie camera.

On the back, we have a large circular camera island that holds the sharp 108-megapixel main shooter and 2-megapixel depth sensor. No ultra-wide, sadly.

HUAWEI has included a 40W SuperCharge adapter, which can provide a 60% charge on its 5,000mAh battery in just 30 minutes. Since they are global products, the three new devices will run on AOSP-based EMUI 14.
