Live images of a possible Huawei Nova 3 and the Honor V10 spotted in the wild

Images of an unknown device carrying the "Aurora" brand name have surfaced, and we have reason to believe the device in question is the Huawei Nova 3. It's either that, or the Huawei P11.

Huawei released the Nova 2i back in September, with the mid-ranger offering a slightly cheaper package than that of the regular Nova 2 that was released in May. Live images of a new device have surfaced online, and we have reason to believe it may be the Nova 3.

The device doesn't actually carry the Huawei brand name in the images—there's a bold "Aurora" written across its back. Do note that "Huawei Aurora" is a brand name trademarked by Huawei, though, so this isn't as much of a mystery as it may seem. Our sources believe that this may be the Huawei P11 or the Nova 3 but we're not exactly sure which one it actually is.

On one hand, the phone in the image bears a shocking resemblance to the Nova 2. Camera placement of both devices are identical, and even the rounded edges are the same. There's also the fact that the Nova 3 has been touted to be launched on December 5, so live images this close to a launch date would be nothing out of the ordinary, whereas we've heard nothing about the P11 till date.

On the other, renders of the Nova 3 look nothing like the images on display here. And the front-facing fingerprint sensor looks exactly like what we saw on the P10.

It's all a bit baffling, really, and only time will tell.

Meanwhile, a live image of the Honor V10 has also surfaced online. We have a lot of hopes for this device, so it's good to know that it holds up in the design department.
