Now, a Weibo tipster shared details regarding the chipset used in the upcoming Huawei Nova 8 series. The tipster mentioned that Nova 8 series equipped with Huawei Kirin chips.

It is very surprising to see if Huawei could still use Kirin chipsets for the upcoming nova 8 series due to the U.S. sanctions, which made Huawei lose its ties from TSMC and running short on chipsets.

Meanwhile, there’s no official confirmation currently available on this matter but the track record of the tipster speaks for himself.

Since last year, Huawei has increased the use of MediaTek Dimensity processors in its smartphones and after the new curbs posted this year, Huawei had to completely shift on the Dimensity chipsets.

Previous Leaks also suggest that Nova 8 series features a 6.5-inch LCD display with FHD+ resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, 16MP selfie camera, a quad rear camera setup consisting of 48MP+8MP+2MP+2MP. This Huawei phone will pack a 4000mAh battery with 40W fast charging.
