According to recent reports, Huawei is shifting its strategy for ultra-thin smartphones. Instead of introducing an 'Air' variant in its flagship Mate series, the company is expected to bring the slim design to its mid-range Nova lineup later this year.
Tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo suggested that the device, possibly called the Huawei Nova Air, will feature a very thin profile, though exact dimensions remain unconfirmed. The move could make slim phones more accessible to a broader audience, as the Nova series typically targets the mid-range market.
Huawei has not officially commented on these rumors. The company continues to face challenges in the global smartphone market due to ongoing US trade restrictions, which limit its access to Google Mobile Services and advanced chipsets.
If the Nova Air materializes, it would follow the trend of other manufacturers like Apple and Samsung, who have also released thinner models in their mid-range lines. However, no release date or pricing details have been verified.
