Huawei launched the nova 7 SE back in April with a Kirin 820 chipset and 5G support, but US trade sanctions forced its discontinuation. And now, the Chinese manufacturer has announced the Huawei nova 7 SE 5G Youth, which has the Dimensity 800U SoC at the helm instead.
Except for a different chipset, the nova 7 SE 5G Youth has the same internals as the Kirin 820-powered version, meaning you get a 6.5 FullHD+ LCD, Android 10-based EMUI 10.1, and a 4,000 mAh battery that draws power through a USB-C port at up to 40W.
The nova 7 SE 5G Youth comes with a total of five cameras – a 16MP selfie shooter on the front, with the quad camera setup on the back comprising a 64MP primary, 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro and 2MP depth sensor units.
The nova 7 SE 5G Youth features a side-mounted fingerprint reader, and comes in a single memory configuration – 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, with no memory card slot for storage expansion.
