IFA 2016 is inching nearer (in fact I’ll be on a plane in just about an hour to head to Berlin), and now Evan Blass is back again with another leak leading up to the convention. This time, he says that there are three devices set for Huawei’s press conference this week: Nova, Nova Plus, and MediaPad M3…
We don’t know much about any of these devices, but remember that purported Nexus 6P lookalike Mate S2? One appropriately-named Huawei Blog suggests that that device could actually be the Huawei Nova. The “Plus” version is probably just one with some slight spec differences and a bigger screen.
The site also shared a purported image of the Nova from Weibo, via Chinese analyst Xiang Ligang. That now-deleted post also suggests that the phone will be targeted at women in some way, roughly translated:
Huawei to a special female brand mobile phones, on Nova, Nova, IFA exhibition, the phone will first meet with you.
On the tablet front, the MediaPad M3 is assumably the successor to the MediaPad M2, but we don’t know much else about it.
Huawei’s event is scheduled for 10:30 AM Berlin time on Thursday September 1st, and we’ll be on the ground to keep you in the loop.

The MediaPad M3 ▲ is expected to be the follow-up of the MediaPad M2, obviously, but details are scarce right now. Huawei has an event scheduled for Thursday, September 1st and we’ll be there to cover it. According to previous leaks, the MediadPad M3 8.0 has already been certified by an US regulatory body. It’s said to have an 8 inch IPS display, with a Full HD resolution and there’s also an octa core Kirin 950 processor inside, plus 4 GB of RAM.
32 GB of storage and a Mali T880 GPU should be in the mix, as well as a microSD card slot and a 13 megapixel rear camera. An 8 megapixel front shooter for selfies is expected and the MediaPad M3 8.0 is said to weigh 250 grams. It’ll bring support for 4G LTE, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.1 and GSM. Finally, a 4800 mAh battery is said to be on board.
Expect smart gestures and HiFi acoustics too.
