The smartphone is also rumored to be powered by Huawei’s Kirin 8020 processor, which is expected to offer improved performance and power efficiency for everyday tasks.
One of the biggest highlights of the device could be its massive 8,500mAh battery, making it one of the largest batteries in the Nova lineup. If accurate, the battery should easily provide extended usage on a single charge.
