Although it also has a notched display, the same Kirin 970 processor and the dual-camera setup present in the Honor 10, the upcoming Huawei Nova 3 sports a larger screen and a rear-mounted fingerprint reader. According to the latest leaks, this 6.3-inch phablet will launch in China on July 18.

The last time we heard about the upcoming Huawei Nova 3, its alleged list of specs included a HiSilicon Kirin 710, 4 GB or 6 GB of memory, and 64 GB or 128 GB internal storage. Now, we hear that the launch is scheduled for July 18 and the processor inside it is, in fact, the HiSilicon Kirin 970.

According to the images that leaked online via MySmartPrice News, this phablet has a notched 6.3-inch display with a rather unusual aspect ratio of 19.5:9, a 24 MP selfie shooter with Face Unlock support, a dual-camera setup on the rear with HDR Pro shooting, 6 GB of memory and 128 GB internal storage (there is no mention of a 4 GB/64 GB variant, unfortunately), Huawei GPU Turbo support, two 4G LTE SIM slots and a dedicated microSD slot, as well as Android 8.1 Oreo with Huawei's EMUI on top.

In addition to the above, this handset will most likely feature USB Type-C, Bluetooth 4.2, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, but we should wait for next week's official unveiling to be sure of all the details. For now, we have no idea if this phablet will make it out of China, when, and how. Since most questions should be answered next week, we'll get back to the Huawei Nova 3 then. As usual, be sure to stay tuned.
