As we look back on the year’s greatest smartphones, one stands out from the rest as a brilliant all-rounder: the Huawei Nova 9, the brand new flagship Nova device.
Here are six reasons why this gadget is one of the most covetable smartphones around:
1. A gorgeous look and feel
Sleek, elegant and lightweight, the Huawei Nova 9 is just 7.77mm thick and weighs a mere 175g so it'll fit comfortably in your hand — and your designer handbag. It's available in two colours: starry blue and black.
2. Brilliant for streaming and scrolling social media
The Huawei Nova 9's 6.57″ curved display is capable of rendering over 1-billion colours, bringing whatever shows you're streaming to life in vivid detail, while its speedy refresh rate of up to 120Hz allows for buttery-smooth scrolling through your social media feeds.
3. Next-level photography
In a first for the Nova series, this chic smartphone features Huawei’s powerful AI quad rear camera system that includes a 50MP ultra-vision main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a macro camera and a 2MP depth camera.
Features such as the RYYB colour filter array and XD Fusion Engine features help this camera system to capture more light, which makes for brilliant night shots and enhances the details so your photographs look sharp and professional every time.
