Huawei is expected to
launch its latest smartphone, the Huawei nova 12, in December 2023. The nova 12
is a mid-range 5G smartphone that offers a large and smooth display, a powerful
processor, a versatile camera system, and a fast charging battery. However, it
may face some challenges in the global market due to the lack of Google
services and the US sanctions on Huawei.
Display and Design
The Huawei nova 12
has a 6.7-inch OLED display with 1B colors, HDR10, and 120Hz refresh rate. The
resolution is 1084 x 2412 pixels, giving a pixel density of 395 ppi. The display
is protected by Kunlun Glass 2, which is Huawei's own glass technology. The
nova 12 has a sleek and elegant design, with a punch-hole cutout for the front
camera and a rectangular module for the rear cameras. It comes in four colors:
black, green, white, and gold.
Processor and Memory
The Huawei nova 12 is
powered by the Kirin 830 chipset, which is a 7 nm octa-core processor. The
Kirin 830 may have some core adjustments inherited from the Kirin 9000S chip,
which is a flagship processor used in the Huawei Mate 50 series. The Kirin 830
is expected to deliver high performance and efficiency, as well as support 5G
connectivity. The nova 12 comes with 8 GB of RAM and three storage options: 128
GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB. There is no card slot for external memory expansion.
Camera and Battery
The Huawei nova 12
has a triple rear camera setup, consisting of a 50 MP main camera, an 8 MP
telephoto camera with optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultrawide camera. The rear
camera can record 4K videos and has features like LED flash, panorama, and HDR.
The front camera is a 60 MP ultrawide camera that can also record 4K videos and
has HDR feature. The nova 12 has a 4800 mAh Li-Po battery that supports 88W
wired charging and reverse wired charging. The battery life and charging speed
are not yet known, but they are expected to be impressive.
Other Features and Challenges
The Huawei nova 12
runs on HarmonyOS 4.0, which is Huawei's own operating system. HarmonyOS is
designed to be a cross-platform and adaptive system that can run on various
devices, such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and smartwatches. HarmonyOS
aims to provide a seamless and intelligent user experience, as well as a rich ecosystem
of apps and services.
However, HarmonyOS does not have access to Google services, such as Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, and Google Play Store, which are widely used by Android users. This may limit the appeal and functionality of the nova 12 for some customers, especially in the international market. Moreover, Huawei is still facing the US sanctions that restrict its access to key components and technologies, such as chips and software. This may affect the production and supply of the nova 12, as well as its quality and performance.

Price and Availability
The price and availability
of the Huawei nova 12 are not yet announced, but they are likely to vary
depending on the region and the carrier. The nova 12 is expected to compete
with other mid-range 5G smartphones, such as the Samsung Galaxy A72, the
OnePlus 9R, and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite.
The nova 12 may have
an edge over its rivals in terms of the display, the camera, and the battery,
but it may also have some disadvantages in terms of the operating system, the
Google services, and the US sanctions. The nova 12 is a promising smartphone
that showcases Huawei's innovation and ambition, but it also faces some
uncertainties and challenges in the market.
