TENAA’s listing of the Nova 3 describes the handset to bear a 6.3-inch Full-HD+ display with a notch and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The processor identity is not yet known but it could be the Kirin 659 SoC. Recent reports tip a yet unreleased Kirin 710 SoC that we would gladly accept as a substitute to the Kirin 659. There are two variants of the phone with model number – PAR-AL00 and PAR-TL00. Both come with 6GB of RAM and internal storage room is 64GB expandable up to 256GB.
The Nova 3 is a quad-camera device with two sensors up front – 24MP + 2MP. The rear combo of 24MP + 16MP look even more formidable on paper but real performance will be judged after release. It has a sizable 3650mAh juice pack that will power Android 8.1 Oreo, with EMUI of course.
