Huawei’s latest Nova 10 series mid-rangers offer a 60MP selfie camera capable of 4K video capture and up to 100W fast charging, but no 5G connectivity.
Just a couple of months following its debut in China, Huawei is bringing the Nova 10 and its Pro variant to the European market. The two phones have a lot in common, and there’s a trio of surprises in here, both good and bad.
First, neither of these phones offers 5G support. There’s also no headphone jack or a microSD card slot. On the positive side, Huawei has fitted a massive 60-megapixel selfie camera on both devices, which is capable of recording 4K videos.
Coming to the innards, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G runs the show. Notably, the “plus” version of this chip supports 5G and powers phones such as the Nothing Phone 1. On the front is a 6.67-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 300Hz touch sampling rate.
Starting with the design, it is unapologetically flashy, thanks to the gold bling around the camera island at the back. The Nova 10 Pro goes with a pill-shaped cutout in the corner, which also houses an 8MP portrait camera for capturing selfies with a bokeh effect.
