Huawei has finally launched its nova 6 lineup – nova 6 5G, nova 6 and the nova 6 SE. The trio sports an oval punch-hole display alongside the flagship Kirin 990 chipset and a potent triple camera setup. The standard nova 6 comes in an identical design but does not have the 5G connectivity and has a slightly smaller battery. The nova 6 SE is a midrange phone which packs a quad-cam setup, Kirin 810 chipset and a generous 4,200 mAh battery.

Huawei also introduced the nova 6 SE which is a midrange offering. Starting at the front we get a 6.4-inch FHD+ LCD panel with a punch hole cutout for its single 16MP selfie cam. Like the two other nova 6 models, the SE has a side-mounted fingerprint reader.
The back houses a quad-camera setup with a 48MP main unit, 8MP ultrawide camera and two 2MP modules (depth and macro). Under the hood, we have the Kirin 810 chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. The battery comes in at 4,200 mAh, while maintaining the 40W Huawei SuperCharge support.
