Huawei is still going strong despite the heavy setbacks caused by the US trade ban. The Chinese company has now launched the latest offerings in the form of Huawei Nova 5 and Nova 5 Pro. The former of the two is a mid-range smartphone while the other is a flagship-grade premium device.
Nova 5 & Nova 5 Pro
Both smartphones sport a 6.39 inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution alongside a 32MP camera sensor at the front. The rear shooter is a quad camera module with a 48MP, 16MP, 2MP and another 2MP cameras that will consist of a standard, wide-angle lens, depth of field, and macro sensors. Nova 5 is equipped with a 7nm Kirin 810 SoC processor with Mali-G52 GPU, while the high-end Nova 5 Pro will house the more powerful Kirin 980 SoC with Mail-G72 GPU. The chipset in the latter is currently also being utilized by other Huawei and Honor Devices including the P30 Pro, Mate 20 Pro and View 20.
The latest smartphones also feature an in-display fingerprint scanner, which has increasingly become an industry standard. Furthermore, the lower variant will not support NFC, unlike the Pro version. The aforementioned smartphones will be capable of 40W fast charging for its 3500mAh battery. Huawei Nova 5 will be available in a single memory configuration of 8GB RAM with 128 GB of internal storage. On the other hand, the higher specced Nova 5 Pro will have two storage variants with 8GB of RAM and an option of either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage.
Special emphasis is being placed on the identical camera module of the mid-range and top-end devices. Huawei boasts of improved low-light photography with key regards on night portrait pictures.
