Huawei’s Nova line have been one of the most popular midrange devices in the market. Now, it comes in threes with the introduction of the new Nova 11, Nova 11 Pro, and Nova 11 Ultra.
First, let’s talk about the new Huawei Nova 11 Pro and 11 Ultra, which are essentially the same, with the more expensive model getting a fancy two-way satellite messaging through China’s Beidou navigation system. A feature seen on the new iPhone models.
The two share the rest of the specs. They are powered with 4G-only Snapdragon 778G processors, have 10-bit 6.78-inch AMOLED screens at 120Hz, optional Kunlin glass protection, and a 4,500mAh battery with whopping 100W fast charging.
They then have a sharp 60-megapixel main camera with a wide lens and an 8-megapixel sensor with 2x optical zoom for portraits. On the back, we have a 50-megapixel main sensor with two apertures: f/1.4 and f/4.0. It then has an 8-megapixel ultra-wide and a color temperature sensor.
The new Huawei Nova 11 Pro has a starting price of CNY3,499 (~Php28,500), pay an extra CNY200 (~Php1,600) to get the Kunlun Glass option. Meanwhile, the Huawei Nova 11 Ultra retails for CNY4,499 (~Php36,600).
