A couple of weeks ago, Chinese manufacturer, Huawei, announced its new smartphone in the Nova series, Huawei Nova 3i. This device was popular for being the first Huawei phone to sport its new Kirin 710 chipset which is expected to do battle with the new Snapdragon 710 SoC. Now, this smartphone has been listed on Amazon India for pre-order and it comes with a INR 20,990 ($306) price tag. Although this smartphone is visible on Amazon India when you search for it, the link appears to be broken when you actually try to make the pre-order. The exact reason for this is not known as of now.
As a reminder, the Nova series smartphones have always been made for young customers. Therefore, the appearance is one of the biggest selling points. The Huawei Nova 3i has the same appearance as the original Nova 3. Thus, it adopts a double-sided glass + metal middle frame design and the much popular notch screen. The fingerprint recognition module is located at the back of the fuselage. There are a few color options, including blue, purple and bright black.
