Huawei recently announced that the highly anticipated Nova 13 series will be unveiled on October 22. Initially available in China, the smartphones will later launch globally. With the announcement date approaching, the number of reports about the devices has been increasing. Most recently, the Huawei Nova 13 Pro appeared in performance tests. So, what does it offer?
Huawei Nova 13 Pro spotted on Geekbench
The Huawei Nova 13 Pro, listed with the model number MIS-AL00, was spotted on Geekbench. It scored 997 in single-core and 2,900 in multi-core tests. This has revealed some of the technical specifications of the device.

One of the most notable details is that the Nova 13 Pro scores lower than its predecessor, the Nova 12 Pro, which had achieved 1,300 in single-core and 4,100 in multi-core tests. While this may raise some eyebrows, it’s worth noting that platforms like Geekbench provide artificial benchmarks, and the real results will emerge through everyday use.
The device will be powered by the Kirin 8000 chipset, featuring a 1x 2.4 GHz, 3x 2.18 GHz, and 4x 1.84 GHz core configuration, paired with a Mali-G610 MC4 GPU. Additionally, the prototype used in the tests had 12GB of RAM, though other memory options may be available at launch.
