Last year, Huawei created many sub-brands, one of which was Hi nova. The basis of its assortment was made up of smartphones from the Huawei nova line, and the only difference was the sales channel: Hi nova is distributed through China Post stores. In addition, Huawei has launched a joint venture with TCL, releasing the FF1 smartphone under its FFalcon brand. And the other day, an exact copy of the FFalcon FF1 appeared in the Hi nova range under the name Hi nova 9z. The smartphone comes in black and green colors and is priced at 1,799 yuan ($272) for the 8+128 GB version and 1,999 yuan ($302) for the 8+256 GB version.

One of the main features of the smartphone is a 6.67″ IPS screen with a resolution of 2376×1080 pixels (19.8: 9), a refresh rate of 120 Hz and 180 Hz touch. Other options include a triple main camera (64 MP + 8 MP wide + 2 MP macro), 16 MP front camera, 4300 mAh battery with support for 66 W fast charging and headphone jack.The role of the processor is played by the not very popular Snapdragon 690 (5G version of the Snapdragon 720G), and Android 11 is used as the operating system. Deliveries of Hi nova 9z outside of China, most likely, are not planned.
