Huawei unveiled the nova 8 and nova 8 Pro back in December of last year, but it looks like it doesn't want to wait that long for the nova 9 series. According to a new rumor out of China, these phones will be made official at some point in mid-September, having given the nova 8 family just about nine months on the market.
The nova 9 devices are said to sport a nicer overall design as well as better colors than the Honor 50 series. However, compared to the Honor 50, the nova 9 won't have as good a processor inside. For reference, the Honor 50 has the Snapdragon 778G SoC at the helm, while the nova 8 and 8 Pro both went with the Kirin 985.
Huawei nova 8 ProIt's unclear which chipset the nova 9 family will employ, but don't expect a lot from its performance, at least compared to Honor's latest. The nova 9 will have 5G, though, for what it's worth.
Regarding design, a previous rumor mentioned that the nova 9 would be a blend of what you've seen in the P50 series, nova 8, and the Mate 50 that probably isn't getting released anymore because of all the US sanctions.
There's endless options for phones with google services, so I think it's pretty nice that Huawei is one of few options without.
