China Post Communications Equipment Co. Ltd., which produces and distributes telecommunications equipment and products, is gearing up to launch a new series of smartphones in its home country.

The company has today confirmed through its official Weibo account that the Hi Nova 9 series smartphones will be launched on 2nd December. The teaser poster shared by the firm shows the tagline “explore the unseen together” but has not revealed much.

China Post Communication Equipment Co. Ltd. has opened a Weibo account in August this year but had not posted anything for a long time. That changed when the account became active earlier this year and teased content like “Hi, Future, “Hi, World,” and “Hi Dream,” forming “Future World Dream,” whatever that means.

Now, it has been confirmed that the company is all set to launch the Hi Nova 9 series smartphones in the country which is likely to have two models — Hi Nova 9 and the Hi Nova 9 Pro, made by Huawei.

If the leaked images are to be believed, then the upcoming Hi Nova 9 series looks very similar to the Huawei Nova 9 series phones launched by the Chinese giant. The front panel has a screen with a punch-hole cutout for housing two camera sensors in the top-left corner and the device has a frosted glass cover.

The camera module on the back panel is also similar to what we’ve seen. Not just the design, but the color of the smartphone in the leaked image is the same as what Huawei is offering for the Nova 9. However, on the back panel, instead of the Huawei branding, it reads “Hi Nova,” indicating the phone to be a rebranded model.

While the company has not yet revealed more details related to these upcoming smartphones, we expect them to be similar to the Huawei Nova 9 lineup in terms of specifications and color options. To know more about the phones, including the pricing and availability details, we will have to wait for a few more days for the official launch.
