Huawei nova 6 trio is here: punch hole displays, 40W fast charging

After months of leaks and teasers, Huawei finally unveiled its nova 6 lineup. The star of the show is the nova 6 5G which brings an oval punch-hole display alongside the flagship Kirin 990 chipset and a potent triple camera setup. There’s also the standard nova 6 which comes in an identical design but skips on the 5G connectivity and has a slightly smaller battery. The third entry is the midrange nova 6SE which packs a quad-cam setup, Kirin 810 chipset and a generous 4,200 mAh battery.

The right-hand-side houses the fingerprint scanner which also serves as the power button. Going around the back we have a 40MP main camera alongside an 8MP telephoto module with OIS and an 8MP ultrawide shooter.
