Let’s have a look at its first set of official images and its specifications,

Design & Display

Huawei Nova 3 features a sleek uni-body metal design, with all edges curved, that looks pretty similar to Huawei’s Honor 10 or P20 lite with almost similar approach to design, but Nova 3 is going to be bigger with a 6.3-inch bezel-less display panel with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9 and HD+ resolution, that will also have a notch on the top.

The notch is going to be slightly wider than the one on Honor 10, which would be because Nova 3 will sport a dual camera set up in the front as well. The phone is also seen with a dual-camera at the rear, set up vertically with an LED flash like the one on Huawei’s P20.

The dimensions are 157 x 73.7 x 7.3 mm and the total weight is 166 grams. There is a fingerprint scanner on the back.

Hardware & Storage

The phone uses Huawei’s current-generation flagship smartphone chipset, the Kirin 970 with AI capabilities paired up with 6GB RAM and 128GB standard memory variant.

The handset would also have Dual 4G SIM slots along with one expandable storage SD card slot. Nova 3 is likely to have USB Type-C port, Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac. It can also use 4G and Wi-Fi simultaneously for faster data downloads and uploads.

Camera & Software

The Dual camera set up on the front of the phone will have a primary 24MP front-facing camera and 2MP secondary camera for portrait shots.

The dual camera composition on the back is the same as the Honor 10 with a 16 MP RGB sensor with a f/1.8 aperture and a secondary 24 MP Monochrome snapper with the same lens.

Both front-facing and rear-facing cameras feature AI support for clicking images with background blur, better face beautification, and scene recognition. The phone also features Face Unlock mechanism using the front-facing camera.
