HUAWEI’s first midrange phones for 2025, the HUAWEI nova 13 and nova 13 Pro, have made their way to the Philippines.
The HUAWEI nova 13 and nova 13 Pro share a lot of similarities. Their webpages confirm that they will be powered by a Kirin 8000 octa-core processor, a powerful chip albeit still lacking 5G connectivity.
They also have the same flagship-grade 100W charging for their 5,000mAh batteries, ultra-sharp selfie cameras, 50-megapixel main shooters with variable aperture, and 12GB of RAM with 512GB of storage.
What makes the nova 13 Pro special is the additional 8-megapixel selfie camera, 12-megapixel telephoto on the back, its fancier LTPO display, and sleeker build with curves all around.
The HUAWEI nova 13 Pro 12GB/512GB has an SRP of Php32,999 while the HUAWEI nova 13 12GB/512GB comes in at Php24,999. They are now available for pre-order on Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, HUAWEI Online Store, and physical stores nationwide with a free HUAWEI Watch GT 4 41mm valued at Php12,999.
