The Nova resembles a shrunken-down Nexus 6P..

[Kelly Kearns]

"Nova is a new "mid-tier" brand for Huawei, sitting below the flagship P series in the grand scheme of things, aimed at a slightly younger audience with discerning tastes, big battery demands and a the need to take lots of photos. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's not unlike the "digital natives" pitch from Huawei's other brand, Honor. But a company spokesperson told us they're not worried about any crossover between Nova and Honor. Honor operates as a separate company, mainly through online channels, while Nova looks to be a carrier-based proposition under Huawei. (For what it's worth, Nova's audience is described as "dynamic aspirers," in case "digital natives" wasn't quite cringey enough for you.)"

I think it's a good move. It will give familiarity to those who know the 6P.
