Huawei Nova 4 With A Hole-Punched-In Display Spotted In Public

Dhir Acharya - Nov 27, 2018

Recently, a photo taken on a bus revealed something like the Huawei Nova 4, whose screen has a hole punched in its display.

Earlier this month in San Francisco, Samsung took the stage at its developer conference to unveil three notch designs that will feature on its upcoming phones, namely Infinity-O, Infinity-V and Infinity-U corresponding to how the notch looks.

Among the three revealed design, the Infinity-O got extra attention because it’s actually a hole punched into the phone screen, which means the front camera can lie under it.

According to rumors and recent reports, Samsung Galaxy A8 is likely to become the first phone to feature the Infinity-O design with an in-display camera. Additionally, although Samsung hasn’t announced the official launch date for the A8, Huawei has already released a teaser suggesting that the Chinese phone maker will outrun Samsung to launch a punched-in display smartphone this December. However, it seems like the phone is already out.

In a photo lately shared by Slashleaks, a young man was surfing the Internet on a smartphone which appears to have a punched-in hole on the top left corner of the phone screen. The photo initially surfaced on Weibo, Chinese social network.

While we can all clearly see the hole in the screen, we cannot tell any other specifications of the phone. This is attributed to the thick, bulky case that embraced the phone as well as hid away most of its design. Nevertheless, the man was apparently wearing earphones which are plugged into the device, so we can certainly say that it comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Notably, the caption of the photo on Slashleaks says that the hole-punched-in display phone is the Huawei Nova 4. How exciting, this leak is in line with previously rumored information that suggested Huawei could probably tease this smartphone today.

Earlier Samsung patented its Infinity-O design and later unveiled it at the developer conference. Leaked photos revealed what the phone would actually look like, and it appears that Huawei’s notch is positioned precisely like in Samsung’s design, on the top left corner of the phone display.
