Huawei Nova series may also launch in Vietnam

Huawei Nova 3, Nova 3i will launch in India on July 26

Huawei is set to launch the new Nova series on July 26 in India, and it is largely expected to launch the Nova 3 and Nova 3i. The Huawei India Twitter handle has been pushing teasers out regularly running up to the launch. However, now a fresh leak brings to light the Vietnamese pricing of the Huawei Nova 3i, indicating that India might not be the only country to see the launch of the new phones. In India, the smartphones are going to be Amazon exclusive.

A photo leak on Slashleaks shows a flyer from Vietnam's largest mobile retail chain The Gio Di Dong. This flyer confirms that the Nova 3i will be made available in Vietnam for VND 11,990,000 (roughly Rs. 35,500). While the Nova 3 has been made official in China, the Nova 3i is still unannounced. The pricing of the Nova 3 is set to be announced in China on July 18, and it is expected that the company will announce the Nova 3i then. However, there is noise that even suggests that the Nova 3 and Nova 3i are the same, and the name change is just to differentiate the regions it will launch in. In any case, more clarity will be achieved once it launches in India on July 26, or if an official announcement is made in China before that.
