The Huawei Nova 3 is priced at Rs. 34,999 in India and goes on sale on August 23, whereas Huawei Nova 3i is priced lower at Rs. 20,990 and will hit the market on August 7.

Coming to the hardware and software specifications, both handsets carry dual cameras both in front and on the back, with AI integration, display notch with sensors and the front camera module. Both their front cameras have HDR Pro. The phones will receive GPU Turbo mode through an OTA update for a gaming, along with an AI-based 4D gaming experience. The handsets will be launched in India with 128GB storage capacities.
Huawei and Amazon India have teamed up to deliver an AI-based shopping experience to the customers. This will allow the user to go to the Amazon list of a product directly by long pressing on its image with two fingers. Another alternative is for users to take a photo of the product so that the tech can scan it and open the Amazon listing.
