Huawei Nova 8 SE is the iPhone 12 knockoff you knew was coming

The new Nova 8 SE is a follow-up to the Nova 7 SE that Huawei launched in April this year.

What you need to know

Huawei has unveiled a new mid-range phone that has a design 'inspired' by Apple's new iPhone 12.
The new Nova 8 SE sports a 6.53-inch FHD+ OLED display, MediaTek's Dimensity 720 chipset, and a 3,800mAh battery.
It will be going on sale in China from November 11 for a starting price of 2,599 yuan ($390).

Huawei today announced the latest addition to its Nova series of phones, featuring a design that is fairly similar to the iPhone 12. The new Nova 8 succeeds the Nova 7 SE from earlier this year (via GSMArena).

Huawei's new Nova 8 SE comes with a 6.53-inch FHD+ OLED display featuring a waterdrop notch for the 16MP selfie camera. Powering the mid-ranger is MediaTek's Dimensity 720 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

Like the iPhone 12, the phone has a squircle-shaped camera module on the back. The quad-camera setup features a 64MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor.

Keeping the lights on is a 3,800mAh battery, which is disappointing compared to some of the best Android phones in the mid-range segment. However, the Nova 8 SE supports the same 66W charging speeds as Huawei's flagship Mate 40 series phones. Huawei claims the phone can be fully charged in just 35 minutes. Some of the other key features of the Nova 8 SE include an in-display fingerprint sensor, 5G connectivity, Bluetooth 5.1, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone runs Android 10-based EMUI 10.1 out of the box.

The new Nova 8 SE has been priced at 2,599 yuan ($390) in China for the Standard Edition and 2,699 yuan ($410) for the High Edition with the Dimensity 800U chipset. Both variants are set to go on sale in China from November 11.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
