The Huawei Nova 3i was released silently in the Philippines ahead of its official launch date. The Nova 3i was meant to be the downgraded variant of the Nova 3 which was introduced a couple of days ago.
The device is the first smartphone to be powered by the new Kirin 710 chip from HiSilicon. The chipset is in direct competition with the Snapdragon 710 which was released this year as well. The 3i is AI-powered and boasts GPU Turbo tech as well. Without further ado, lets meet the Huawei Nova 3i.
