After announcing the Huawei Maimang 6 smartphone last week in China and with rumors flying around that same device will head for Europe as the Huawei Mate 10 lite, Huawei has rebranded the same device for two other Asian markets with the unveiling of the Huawei Nova 2i in Thailand and Malaysia. While there is no difference between this and the China only version, China will pay more to acquire this device.
The major highlights of the Huawei Nova 2i are 18:9 aspect ratio display and its quad-camera setup –two at the rear and two upfront similar to the Gionee S10 camera setup.
