Tech specs wise, the smartphone may be released with a Kirin 980 SoC which is a step up from the Nova 3 but other than that, no other info on the device is available yet.

Recently two Huawei 7.12-inch smartphone has been spotted on TENAA and both is expected to come equipped with with a large 4900mAh capacity battery, Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset which, 16MP + 2MP rear facing camera, 8MP front facing selfie camera, 4GB of RAM, up to 128GB of internal storage, and a screen resolution of 1080 x 2244 pixels.

Did Huawei really say that? Yes. In fact, this came from Richard Yu, the CEO of Huawei's Consumer Business Group just a few hours ago today at a conference, also with the fact that Huawei has managed to shipped more than 95 million smartphones during the first half of 2018.

After Samsung and Huawei announced their development of the flexible smartphones, OPPO and Xiaomi has also recently announced their entrance into the flexible smartphone development as well based on a report by digitimes.com. It was reported that Xiaomi plans to use LG Panels for their upcoming bendable smartphone while there is no further information in regards to OPPO’s development.

So it's official, Huawei will also show up at the upcoming IFA 2018 event in Germany and while we're not expecting any new devices from them, it pretty much hints that they will showcase their latest processor - the Hisilicon Kirin 980. Why do we say so? Because they did the same thing at last year's IFA event with the Kirin 970.

In the near future, we are probably going to see the end of notched smartphones. This includes Huawei and according to a media report from South Korea, they are claiming Huawei is designing a strange device and it is indeed quite weird, here's what we found out.

Huawei has teased us with several teaser images giving us an idea of what to expect from the upcoming Nova device. Huawei’s Nova line of devices has always been an attractive option to the youths and fashionable bunch that enjoys taking selfies without needing to break the bank. Not forgetting to mention that these devices are also beautiful and well designed for those who are keen on staying trendy amongst their peers.

During their recent global analyst summit in Shenzhen, Huawei showed a slide teasing their first Huawei 5G mobile hotspot set for Q2 of 2019. They also revealed what could be their first 5G smartphone, which is presumed to be the Huawei Mate 30 in the second half of 2019 which also indicates when Malaysia and other countries could start seeing the full implementation of 5G networks.
