Huawei-Nova

Chinese mobile electronics giant Huawei has announced two new smartphones at IFA 2016 in Berlin.

Huawei Nova looks like a smaller brother of the Nexus 6P, a Google-Huawei branded smartphone released a year ago. Well, we’d even go as far as describing it as a direct copy of the Nexus flagship, only that it has 5-inches of screen estate. That’s not a problem though because it’s well made.

Unfortunately, that’s where the similarities end. It would be great if it also came in with stock Android out of the box, but it does not. The Huawei Nova runs on EMUI, the company’s custom Android skin.  To put it simply, it’s a little Nexus 6P with shit software.
