Huawei could be letting the notch die sooner than expected. In a new leak, the upcoming Nova 4 has been exposed with a display cutout.

Huawei confirmed it'll introduce a foldable phone during MWC 2019 in late February. The trade show serves as a launching pad for several products, but it's often missing some truly exciting technology.
