Like Huawei's Nova Plus, Huawei's Nova is a really good smartphone with hardly any shortcomings. A very bright Full HD panel, high-quality and rigid casing, USB Type-C port, support for two SIM cards, and a reliable fingerprint scanner belong to its...

No. Although the Nova is a great phone, it's simply overpriced. If it cost $300, it would be worth considering, but at 400 euros, it's way off the mark. No matter how much you value style, no one wants to overpay for a smartphone, and that's what you'll...
So, what do we think of the Huawei Nova? While it's good on paper, it's slightly underwhelming in real life. The processor isn't quite as quick as the competition, the graphical capabilities aren't great and the quality of low-light photography is less...
A well-made mid-range phone, but one a little too expensive given the competition at the price. You can get a similarly impressive phone with a better camera and CPU for the same...

Huawei Nova – Battery Battery life is one area where the use of a 620 CPU is a godsend. Huawei claims the 620 is 30% more power efficient than Qualcomm's older, and more common, 615. Having used the Nova as my main phone for more than a fortnight, I...
The mid-range market is seriously heating up this year. Motorola used to rule the roost, but now there are some major contenders for the top spot - and based on a quick 15 minute fondle with the Nova, it could be one of them. I'm a big fan of the...
Getting your hands on a Nova will cost R6 999, as recommended by Huawei. At that price it is a solid R1k to R2k less than most of the premium mid-range phones it's going up against. When it comes to a competitive market like that, it's a decided...
