Huawei Nova 3 Quick Review – Everything You Need to Know
The Huawei Nova 3 arrives in a classy manner that takes inspiration from the iconic iPhone X. At the top of the device, the top notch bears the two cameras, infrared facial tech and a couple of other sensors. Its aluminium frame is covered with glass at the front and the back. Even more, the rear region is highlighted by dual cameras, LED flash and fingerprint sensor. On the display front, a 19.5:9 aspect ratio delivers the much needed arena for the 6.3-inch IPS screen to show forth multimedia superfluously. This display’s crispness is handled by 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution and 409PPI pixel density. Where the commands on this device is made is from the Kirin 970 AI chipset. It’s composed of an octa-core 2.4GHz Cortex-A73 CPU and Mali-G72 GPU. Huawei’s Emotion UI 8.2 alongside the Android 8.1 Oreo OS coordinates the software functions on the device. You can setup facial recognition as a means of security on the device due to the presence of the Infrared Facial ID. Also, a dual 24MP + 2MP camera setup is found at the front for capturing selfies. Images are taken at the back through the 16MP + 24MP shooters and LED flash. The powerhouse of this device is a non-removable Li-Po 3,750mAh battery with Fast Charging technology. Multitasking actions are well relayed by the 6GB RAM while an internal storage of 64GB or 128GB can be used to store files.
