Huawei nova review - Full phone specifications

Huawei has gone from strength to strength in the UK, with recent releases including the flagship Huawei P9 proving popular in Britain – but it isn’t done yet. Announced at IFA 2016 in Berlin, Huawei has launched a new range of smartphones to take on the mid-range market, the Huawei Nova and Huawei Nova Plus. We’ve spent some time with the Huawei Nova and here we discuss pricing and availability, design, features and software of the upcoming smartphone.



The Huawei Nova starts at 399 euros (roughly $450) for the 3 GB device with 32 GB of storage, while the Huawei Nova Plus starts at 429 euros (about $480) for the same storage and RAM.

The main differences between these handsets are the display and battery size (with the Plus model being the bigger in both respects) – but there are also some differences in the device design, which we'll discuss in-depth below.

The precise release date for handsets is yet to be announced, but Huawei said that it would bring the devices to more than 50 countries starting October. The Novas will arrive in three color variants: silver, grey and gold. A rose gold variant will also follow in certain markets.
