Huawei nova 5 confirmed to have a 32 MP selfie camera

Huawei will announce the nova 5 series on Friday, and the company keeps teasing the new devices on its Weibo account. The latest information is that the phone will sport a 32 MP selfie shooter. Interestingly enough, the phone is displayed with a notch, instead of the punch-hole design we saw earlier this month, but we expect the same Samsung GD1 sensor in all the phones.

Expectations are the Huawei nova 5i will have a hole on the LCD, while the nova 5 should keep the waterdrop cutout for the front-facing camera. The nova 5 Pro was also envisioned with a teardrop display, while a phone called nova 5i Pro will have a wider notch, similar to the Huawei P20 series.

While the nova 5i is expected to have a Kirin 710 chipset, the regular nova 5 should come with Kirin 980. The information is double-confirmed by a Geekbench listing from the phone with a model number SEA-AL10, which is the vanilla version of the nova family. The single-core and multi-core results are quite close to other Kirin 980 smartphones, so this is most likely the real deal.
