Huawei Nova 5i Pro is the new smartphone to come out of Huawei’s Nova lineup. Conforming to the press render leaked recently, the new phone sports a square-shaped camera panel at the back. This way, it deviates from its brethren viz., Nova 5 and Nova 5 Pro, which had launched back in June.

You can further expand the storage using a micro-SD card up to 256GB. Huawei has slapped it’s EMUI 9.1 based off Android 9.0 Pie atop this hardware.
Coming back to its back camera, we have a 48MP primary camera with f/1.8 aperture, paired with an 8MP wide-angle lens, a 2MP macro camera and another 2MP depth sensor. They stay on a square island, which looks like the one on Huawei Mate 20 Pro (review).
