Huawei announced the follow-up to its most popular midrange line with the new Nova 9 and 9 Pro.
The Huawei Nova 9 series features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor. But unlike the others, this is the 4G variant of the chipset, so no 5G connectivity.
With the Pro model, you’re getting an enormous 6.72-inch FHD+ OLED screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It also has two 32-megapixel front-facing cameras, with the latter having an ultra-wide lens. UD fingerprint scanner is also present.
Meanwhile, the non-Pro model features a smaller 6.57-inch screen and drops the secondary selfie snapper.
The Huawei Nova 9 has a 4,300mAh battery with an impressive 66W charging. The Huawei Nova 9 Pro steps it up further by having 100W charging support, albeit with a smaller 4,000mAh battery. A 100% top-up will only take 20 minutes on this thing.
Those who are in China can get the Huawei Nova 9 with 8GB/128GB for CNY2,699 (around Php21,00), while the 8GB/256GB variant is at CNY2,999 (around Php23,400). Meanwhile, the Nova 9 Pro retails for CNY3,499 (around Php27,300) for the 8GB/128GB and CNY3,899 (around Php30,400) for the 8GB/256GB. Release details here in the Philippines are yet to be known.
