The report also claims that the smartphone is already available for purchase in the country.

All the other specifications remain the same. The Huawei Nova smartphone has been priced at EUR 399 (roughly Rs. 29,800). It is made with aircraft-grade aluminium, and features a fingerprint sensor on the rear panel.
