Huawei Nova 13 series

Huawei’s Nova series has carved a significant niche in the smartphone market, which arguably could be its stylish designs, and competitive camera capabilities, including its competitive pricing.

Looking back in time, the original Nova aimed to capture the mid-range market with a focus on fashionable design. We remember the Nova 2 and Nova 4 bringing forward incremental improvements in camera technology and quality display.

The Nova 7 series solidified the brands’ promise by introducing sleek aesthetics and a competitive processor.

The introduction of the Nova 13 builds upon this heritage, with competitive camera prowess and stylish design.

It’s clear, that the Nova series keeps evolving to cater to the evolving needs of consumers while bringing forward a blend of style, performance, and camera capabilities.

First look and impressions

We spotted two colours for the Huawei Nova 13 in Loden Green and solid black. The Nova 13 comes in Blue and white.

Nova 13

The Nova 13 features a 6.7″ Full HD display, Kirin 8000 processor, 12GB RAM, and storage of up to 512GB. A spot a 5,000mAh battery, 50MP ultra Vision, and an 8MP ultra wide-angle sensor on the back.

It’s an attractive smartphone at first glance, but our concern is the fingerprint marks on the rear for the black version. The selfie camera is impressively loaded with a 60 MP ultra-wide autofocus camera, bringing the overall weight of the smartphone to around 195 grams.

Huawei’s interesting feature for their latest Nova 13 series is something called the AI best Expression feature which allows users to optimize their photos by pretty much cropping the worst features out and replacing them with better image options.
