IFA this year experienced some of the finest high tech smartphones from the leading brands. There was a cutthroat competition with each brand trying its best to steal the show. And no doubt, Huawei was able to make a statement with its new phone Nova 3 that is so less than a high-end phone.Good news for the customers of Pakistan; Huawei Nova 3 is up for grabs.
Design and Display
Nova 3 has a 6.3-inch notched display and is comparatively a large phone than the previous phones of the Nova series. The phone may look like it is weary to hold but its weight suggests otherwise. It is lightweight (166gms) and can be used for longer periods. If you are not a fan of huge phones, the size is a bummer.
The phone is curved around the edges which gives it a very classy feel. When it comes to color selection, Huawei absolutely nailed it; you get it in Iris Purple, Airy Blue, Fiery Red, Primrose Gold, and the basic black.
Moreover, the LCD display has a resolution of 1080 by 2340 pixels. Nova 3 also has a rudimentary screen offered by the company’s very own EMUI Android skin.
System and Performance
Nova 3 is powered by Huawei’s in-house octa-core Kirin 970 chipset. This makes your experience smooth without having to worry about the multiple apps that you may be running. The phone has Android 8.1. The fingerprint scanner is placed at the back that your index finger can easily map its way to. The scanner is accurate and runs very smoothly. Further, the phone is equipped with a 3750mAh battery and comes with 18W fast-charging which is a plus. The phone also offers two storage options; 4GB RAM with 128GB storage and 6GB RAM with 128GB storage.
Camera
Nova 3 has a dual camera at the back; a 24-megapixel monochrome paired with a 16-megapixel color one having an aperture of F/1.8. The camera is powered by AI which not only provides assistance for scene-recognition but also helps with the Live Focus. Its Portrait and monochrome mode enables you to capture picture-perfect moments in amazing results (We haven’t had the chance to look at the photos but our birds tell that the result is actually pretty amazing).
The dual camera at the front has a 24-megapixel color camera paired with a 2-megapixel depth-collecting unit. Just like other popular brands, Huawei has also come up with an AR emoji known as Dubbed Qmoji. Overall, it looks good.
