Huawei hasn’t yet announced the availability of Huawei Nova 5Z UK, but the Chinese audience is about to get their hands on one.

Things are pretty blurred in terms of Huawei Nova 5Z release date UK, but it’s now available for reservation through China’s Vmall. However, it’ll start hitting shelves officially across China from November 1st, 2019 – two more days to go. The availability for the rest of the world like UK is also not revealed, but it’ll be coming in three colours to choose from, Black, Aurora and Emerald Green.
