More leaks about the specs of the Huawei Nova 3i have emerged, courtesy of Weibo. It looks like it will have the Kirin 710 processor after all.
Huawei Nova 3i processor
Initial reports mentioned the Nova 3i will come with a Kirin 659 processor, but recent leaks now confirms a newer Kirin 710 processor will be powering the mid-range device. The 710 makes sense as the newer SoC is built on the more modern 12nm process.
The leak also mentions GPU Turbo and 3D Qmoji. GPU Turbo is said to increase a phone’s Graphics Processing Efficiency, allowing it to run more graphics intensive games. Qmoji is the company’s version of Apple’s Animoji.
The leak also adds the phone to either have 4GB/128GB or 6GB/64GB variations. The combination is rather odd, but uncovered posters point to the former as the combination coming to the country.
The battery also seems to be smaller than first reported. The leaked image specifies a capacity of 3,340 mAh, rather than 3,650 mAh that was previously stated.
Some of the specs remain unchanged though. The Nova 3i will still have 16MP + 2MP dual rear cameras, and 24MP + 2MP selfie shooters.

The Huawei Nova 3i is expected to launch in the Philippines on July 28, 2018. According to leaks, pre-order starts on July 19 to July 27, 2018. Those who pre-order will receive an ‘yet-to-be-named’ free premium gift worth PHP2,990, which is expected to be either a Bluetooth headphones or speaker.
Price is said to be around PHP15,990, although there are other reports that claim it can go as high as PHP17,990. Only time will tell which is which.
Again, please take all these with a grain of salt, in case Huawei pulls a fast one on us and changes some of the details.
