The Chinese tech giant has shared a new poster on the Huawei Mall for the Nova 13 series. The image highlights the standard and Pro models with a price question:

“Price: ¥2??9/¥3??9 | Pre-order to win a gift | Post your order and stand a chance to win starry handbags”

Note that the 2xx9 yuan price is for standard whereas the 3xx9 yuan is for the Pro variant. It indicates that the Huawei Nova 13 series starting price will be below 3000 yuan. It’s a relief to those who thought the cost may exceed 3000 yuan this time.

Last year, Huawei launched three models in the Nova 12 series: Standard, Pro, and Ultra. A Lite version also accompanied the lineup. These devices start pricing at:

• Nova 12 Lite (256GB) – 2499 yuan
• Nova 12 (256GB) – 2999 yuan
• Nova 12 Pro (256GB) – 3999 yuan
• Nova 12 Ultra (512GB) – 4699 yuan

Judging from the new posters and price of the Nova 12/12 Pro, it seems the Nova 13 series may bear the same cost tag as its predecessors. To know the exact details, we have to wait till the official unveiling of both smartphones.

Weibo tipster @BrotherRuiDigital says that the Huawei HarmonyOS 4.4 is coming. The software seems laggy but extraordinary. It may go official in the next few weeks.

Responding to the leak, a few netizens said that Huawei might be releasing this software as the last “HarmonyOS 4” version for its devices, making them compatible with the next major upgrade. Hereafter, the company will unveil the HarmonyOS NEXT.

Some also said that Huawei might introduce this software system with the Nova 13 series. The high-end smartphone lineup is expected to launch this month. These new models could come out of the box with the HarmonyOS 4.4 operating system.

Huawei hasn’t confirmed any such details about a new software system so far. Although the company may launch such a feature for its old devices after the HarmonyOS NEXT public beta release for eligible handsets. Yes, the new build may work as a baseline build for old devices before upgrading to the major update.

A Chinese media reported that Huawei will likely schedule its new Autumn launch conference on September 24. The news didn’t mention the number of devices coming to this event. Yet it reveals the new product launch conference will held in Shanghai.

The latest news indicates that Huawei won’t take much time to introduce new smartwatches in the native region after their global debut. Note that the company has scheduled a global wearables and tablets launch event on September 19 in Barcelona.

Earlier, a leak suggested that Huawei could launch the Watch GT 5 series and Watch Ultimate 2 in China later this month. Now we have an expected timeline on this topic.

Apart from wearables, users may witness new speakers, a giant smart TV with HarmonyOS 4.4 details, and a few more products. Users expecting a smartphone lineup like the Nova 13 or the Mate 70 series have to wait for some more time.

Hence, a lot of new offerings are coming this month. It is unclear if Huawei will unveil new wearables in China on September 24. The situation will get crystal clear with an official announcement on this matter.

So without any further ados, let’s jump into the comparison!

Note that this comparison mentions the thickness of the device in both folded and unfolded states. Also, we’ll place the unfolded thickness first for every device.

Huawei Mate XT

The world’s first triple-foldable phone debuted on September 10. It uses a dual-hinge system for a smooth folding mechanism. The body structure is quite thin and claims to be durable against accidental slips and other external damage.

Mate XT has a thickness of 12.8mm when folded and 3.6-4.8mm when in unfolded state. The overall dimensions are 156.7 x 219.0 x 4.8mm in the unfolded state and 156.7 x 73.5 x 12.8mm in the folded state.

UncleKanshan reveals the details of Smart TV V5 Max 110-inch. The device is expected to launch this month with a giant screen and interesting smart capabilities.

Adding more, the tipster says Huawei Smart TV V5 Max 110-inch may also be the first to pre-install HarmonyOS 4.4 OS. The new software features are a secret for now. But if true, users could find better enhancements than the previous version.

It is unclear how accurate the current leak is. Huawei has already confirmed to launch the official HarmonyOS NEXT by the end of this month. On the other hand, it hasn’t mentioned a new HarmonyOS 4.4 version for its devices so far.

Also, one would expect HarmonyOS 4.3 after the 4.2 build, and not the 4.4. Many netizens asked whether this upgrade would be available to other devices. However, the tipster hasn’t responded with any further details regarding the new software.

HarmonyOS 4.4 hints that Huawei could either introduce a separate OS for its smart TVs or may bring a small improvements update before the official release of the HarmonyOS NEXT. But it’s better to take this leak with a grain of salt for now.

Smart TV V5 Max 110-inch

The tipster reveals that the upcoming giant smart TV will bear a SuperMini LED screen with cutting-edge technology. It claims to offer 5000 nits peak brightness. It means users will get improved image quality with more appealing and vibrant visuals. It may also bring anti-reflection properties for an efficient experience.

Other parameters include 5040 dynamic partitions with a 91% of BT2020 color gamut. This gamut includes a wide color gamut for ultra-high-definition TV. It covers a larger area compared to other gamuts and ensures that color appears more accurately.

V5 Max 110-inch would be the biggest Huawei smart TV. Meanwhile, its key specs seem quite amazing. Although an official confirmation awaits for this device.

Therefore, Wenjie New M7 takes safety as an important consideration in the design and manufacturing process. The new car has been comprehensively upgraded in terms of active safety configuration.
