The Huawei Nova 12 series was introduced in China on Tuesday and consists of four models: the Huawei Nova 12, the Huawei Nova 12 Pro, the Huawei Nova 12 Ultra, and the Huawei Nova 12 Lite. While their specs differ significantly, all four of the new smartphones have comparable styles. With 6.7-inch screens, they are all powered by HarmonyOS 4.
Huawei uses an integrated, basic leather embossing design on the rear of the Ultra model that features the “nova” logo all over it to set it apart. A glass back design featuring an incorporated cherry blossom motif is included with certain models.
