HUAWEI has officially unveiled the new nova 13 and 13 Pro. Sadly, they didn’t confirm the processor they used for these two.
Let’s start with the HUAWEI nova 13 Pro, which sports a 6.76-inch LTPO OLED screen with a 2.8K resolution, a high 120Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate, fingerprint scanner within, and 2160Hz PWM dimming. It enjoys a large 5,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging. Satellite connectivity is also available for Chinese users.
A 60-megapixel selfie camera is on top, joined by an 8-megapixel 2x portrait lens. A sharp 50-megapixel main shooter is at the back with a variable aperture of f/1.4-f/4.0, joined by a 12-megapixel 3x zoom lens, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide.
The HUAWEI nova 13 Pro is available in China for a starting price of CNY3,699 (~Php30,100).
