The Huawei Nova range of smartphones has been updated. The Huawei Nova 8 5G and Nova 8 Pro 5G are the devices in question. Both phones are straight replacements for the Nova 7 and Nova 7 Pro, which were released earlier this year.
The interesting element is that the Nova 8 includes numerous enhancements that will entice Nova 7 owners to upgrade. It has a 64-megapixel rear camera, a 120Hz refresh rate display, the Kirin 985 processor, and a fast-charging battery.
The Huawei Nova 8 is a more attractive device than its predecessor, the Huawei Nova 7. It has a lovely, smooth surface with a distinctive camera module and the company’s emblem on it. Its body is 160.1 x 74.1 x 7.6 mm in size and weighs 169 grams.
The Nova 8 also boasts a curved screen display and curved edges, giving it the appearance of the Huawei Mate 40.
The display has a 6.57-inch screen with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 240Hz touch sampling rate.
The smartphone also boasts an OLED display with a 10-bit color depth, DCI-P3 color gamut, and a fingerprint scanner embedded in the display.
