Huawei Readies 6.39-Inch Nova Air for Mid-Range Market as Ultra-Thin Push Broadens

1 articles · Updated · HC Newsroom · Jun 27

Summary

  • Huawei is reportedly developing a Nova Air or Nova 17 Air, shifting its ultra-thin phone strategy from the Mate line into the mid-range segment.
  • The leaked device is said to feature a 6.39-inch LTPO OLED display with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and a 16:10 aspect ratio.
  • Camera details point to a triple rear setup led by a 50MP 1/1.3-inch main sensor, plus a periscope telephoto and a multispectral lens, with no ultrawide mentioned.
  • Leaks suggest a November-to-December launch window, while Huawei is also expected to keep iterating on Mate Air models in 2026.
  • The move comes as ultra-thin phones spread across the industry, though demand has been uneven despite Huawei's Mate 70 Air pairing a 7-inch screen with a 6.6mm body.
