Huawei has recently released a video teaser for its upcoming Nova 11 series, scheduled to launch on April 17. The video showcases a new design for the smartphone, featuring an oval-shaped camera system and a plain green leather back panel with the word “nova” embossed all over it. The teaser also hints at the introduction of brand-new technologies that have yet to be revealed by the Nova 11 series.
Triple Camera System with a Cylinder Shape and Periscope Zoom Lens
Similar to the Huawei P60, the Nova 11 series’ triple-camera rear camera system has a cylinder shape. The series’ top model will also feature a periscope zoom lens for better telephoto photography. The cameras are expected to have 50MP and 108MP sensors, respectively, and will likely come equipped with variable aperture technology, which is making its debut in mid-range phones.
Bended Screen with an Opening Punch for Selfie Camera
The Nova 11 cell phones will have a bended screen with an opening punch to house a selfie camera, while the standard variant may come with a flat-screen. The battery capacity of the series is yet to be confirmed, but the Nova 11 Pro is rumored to use a 100W super-fast charger. The devices will be powered by the HarmonyOS 3.1 operating system and the Snapdragon 778G (Ultra model).
SMS Messaging via Satellite and Kunlun Glass
An interesting feature of the Nova 11 series is that users will be able to send SMS messages via satellite without requiring a mobile network. For the top model, Huawei may also offer the option to purchase Kunlun glass, a type of tempered glass with anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint properties.
Three Variations of Nova 11 Series
The Nova 11 series is expected to include three variations: the Nova 11, the 11 Pro, and the 11 Ultra. The pricing, however, will only be revealed at the launch conference.
Final Thoughts
Huawei Nova 11 series seems to be a promising addition to the mid-range smartphone market. With its stylish design, triple camera setup, and new technologies, the series is likely to attract a lot of attention. The addition of satellite SMS messaging and Kunlun glass will also make it stand out from its competitors. It remains to be seen how the Nova 11 series will perform in the market and whether it will be able to live up to the expectations of its users.
