Huawei has scheduled the launch of its Nova 5 series in China on June 21, but thanks to a series of leaks we already know quite a few things about both these smartphones. Huawei is expected to launch the Nova 5, Nova 5i, and Nova 5 Pro in China. The Chinese smartphone maker has already revealed in a teaser that the Nova 5 series will feature a 32-megapixel selfie camera. The posted teased by Huawei shows the Nova 5 with a waterdrop notch. A recent post from the head of Huawei's smartphone division on Weibo states that the upcoming Nova 5 will feature a 7nm processor.

Based on the recent post by He Gang, Head of Huawei's Smartphone division, the Nova 5 is expected to sport a new HiSilicon Kirin 810 SoC. This new chipset is based on a 7nm process and is said to be the successor to the Kirin 710 SoC. We have seen the Kirin 710 powering some of the budget offerings from Huawei as well as Honor in India. The post by Gang was first spotted by GizChina. The post adds that a 48-megapixel AI camera will also make its way to the Huawei Nova 5.

If the Huawei Nova 5 series does launch with this new 7nm processor, Huawei will be the first smartphone brand with two 7nm chipsets in its portfolio. The other chip is the Kirin 980 SoC which is powering the Honor View 20 and the Huawei P30 Pro in India.
