Huawei does not want to say goodbye to the year without presenting new phones, four to be exact. Here is the Huawei Nova 12 familybut although they may look like many designs, there are actually two with some variations.
Next we are going to see all the details and features of the new Huawei Nova 12, but the most interesting is that The Chinese company seems to have a new processor on its hands, the Kirin 9000SL who drinks the controversial Kirin 9000.

Design and screen: practically the same two by two
Aesthetically, the four models do not differ too much, but as we said, you have to talk to two people about it. The Huawei Nova 12 Ultra and Nova 12 Pro have an identical camera module on the back, as well as the same screen with the same double hole in the central part for the cameras.
In fact, in dimensions they are identical and what varies is the weight as well as the colors. The screen of both models is OLED with a diagonal of 6.76 inches and LTPO refresh from 1 to 120 Hz. Additionally, they have a resolution of 2776 x 1224 pixels and the same PWM of 2160 Hz.
If we move on to the Huawei Nova 12 and Nova 12 Lite, we are also talking about the same screen: a 6.7-inch OLED panel with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a resolution of 2,412 x 1,084 pixels. In this case, the hole for the front camera is simple and the design of the Nova 12 Lite differs a little from its brothers due to a more elongated camera module.
This is strange given that it shares cameras with the Nova 12, as we will see later, but it is a way for Huawei to differentiate the two terminals.
Processor and battery: a new Kirin to mark the distances with the United States
The processor is the most interesting point of these new Huawei. The reason is that, on the official specifications page, the only model that has details is the Huawei Nova 12 Lite. This incorporates the Snapdragon 778G 4G, a processor that has been on the market for some time, but which still offers good performance in daily tasks.
It is not known what the official processor is for the other three modelsbut there is already a leak of the one they have chosen for the Huawei Nova 12 Ultra and the Nova 12 Pro.
This is the Kirin 9000SL, the brother of the controversial The Kirin 9000S that shook the United States in recent months and, although there is still no information on lithography, we know the frequency and the nuclei.
On Weibo, some images have appeared which allow us to see the characteristics of the two processors and the differences between the Kirin 9000S, the 9000SL and the 8000, which is supposed to be the SoC of the Nova 12 Pro.
We leave you the characteristics below:

All four models are equipped with Harmony OS 4 as a system and the Nova 12 Ultra, Pro and Nova 12 have a 4,600 mAh battery with 100W charging. The Nova 12 Lite remains at 4,500 mAh with 66W charging.
Cameras: 2x optical on the front of Ultra and Pro models
And we come to the cameras, a section in which, once again, we must distinguish in pairs. The Huawei Nova 12 Ultra and Nova 12 Pro have a dual front camera with a 60-megapixel wide-angle and an 8-megapixel 2x optical lens.
It’s an interesting setup on the front and on the back they feature a 50-megapixel primary sensor with variable aperture lenses f/1.4 to f/4.0 and a wide angle of 8 megapixels with macro function.
The Nova 12 and Nova 12 Lite only have a front cameraa 60-megapixel f/2.4 wide-angle and a rear pair of 50-megapixel f/1.9 for angle and the same 8-megapixel wide-angle of its older brothers.
