Nova and Nova Plus are Huawei’s Latest Mid-range Smartphones
-
Even though a Huawei executive had explicitly stated that we weren’t going to see the latest from the Mate series, we got to see something new, a new smartphone series from Huawei.Unlike what we’d heard in the run-up to today’s launch at IFA 2016 in Berlin, the two new smartphones from Huawei, Nova and Nova Plus, are not targeted specifically at women (which is why I gave the rumour a wide berth as that alone sounded ridiculous, to say the least). They’re for everybody. Huawei is just trying out something to add to its other efforts with the G series and its high-flying Honor sub-brand.
A statement from the company plays up the device’s ergonomics, performance and high-quality photography, a necessity since they are targeted at a younger audience just like the budget devices the company unveiled in Nigeria today.
Here are their specifications:
Huawei Nova Huawei Nova Plus Size and weight 141.2 x 69.1 x 7.1mm, 146g 151.8 x 75.7 x 7.3 mm, 160g Display 5-inch Full HD (443ppi) 5.5inch Full HD (401ppi) Processor Snapdragon 625 Snapdragon 650 Memory 3GB RAM; 32GB internal storage (can be expanded up to 128GB via microSD) Same Camera 8MP front; 12MP back 8MP front; 16MP back with OIS Operating System Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) with Emotion UI 4.1 Same Battery 3,020mAh 3,3400mAh Network 3G, 4G LTE Same Connectivity Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/, Bluetooth 4.1, USB Type-C Same Colour Titanium Grey, Mystic Silver, Prestige Gold Same Other Fingerprint scanner Same The Huawei Nova costs an equivalent of Kshs 45,000 while the Nova Plus costs an equivalent of Kshs 48,000, not exactly what you’d call your typical mid-range pricing locally but not surprising since we’ve seen Samsung price its Galaxy A series devices in that range.
Both devices are available immediately in China through online stores while everyone else will have to wait for October when they hit the global market.
