The Huawei Nova 4 is almost here
2019 could be the year of the pinhole phone camera, by which we mean a circular cut-out for a camera in the screen. But at least one such handset is set to arrive before the end of 2018, as Huawei has announced that the Huawei Nova 4 with just such a camera is being announced on December 17.
We've seen the company tease the device a couple of times already, but the latest teaser image, posted to Weibo (a Chinese social network), gives more away.
Those teasers were never particularly subtle, and we had also seen a leaked image seemingly showing the Huawei Nova 4 itself, so there was little doubt that it would have a pinhole camera, but now that feature and the phone’s announcement date are confirmed.

The first but not the last
Aside from its unusual camera design, we don’t know a whole lot about the Huawei Nova 4, but it’s rumored to have 6GB of RAM and the high-end Kirin 980 chipset (the same one as you’ll find in the Huawei Mate 20 Pro) so it could be a decent handset.
It’s worth noting though that it’s not yet clear whether you’ll be able to buy the Huawei Nova 4 outside China. But if not and you have your heart set on a phone with a pinhole camera you shouldn’t have too much longer to wait.
