Posted: 17 Sep 2020 08:59 AM PDT

There's a new version of the Huawei nova 7 SE in the works – TENAA spilled the beans on the so-called Life version. On the surface, it appears to be the same, though there might be more going on behind the scenes. TENAA lists the processor as "2.4 GHz octa-core", which matches the Kirin 820 chip inside the current nova 7 SE. However, rumor has it that this is actually the MediaTek Dimensity 800U chipset. It's a similar 7nm chip built at TSMC, featuring the same CPU layout (2x A76 and 6x A55), but with scaled down graphics (Mali-G57 MC3, down from MP6). Huawei nova 7 SE...
