The overall design feature is all about maximizing display real estate and Huawei’s Nova 4 offers up to 6.4-inches screen with a maximum resolution of 2310 x 1080 pixels. There is only one thing getting in the way of a true all-screen configuration is a punch-hole for 25MP front-facing camera at the top left side of the handset.
Performance
It’s powered by HiSilicon Kirin 970 Chipset which is partnered with a hefty 8GB of RAM – already on par with Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and so many other flagships. The GPU is Mali-G72 MP12 for immersive graphics, though. Based on online sources, you will have no qualms dipping in and out of several apps simultaneously and browsing the web on Chrome will be fluid and glitch-free. It doesn’t really feel as smooth as Huawei’s devices with Kirin 980, one would not get a sign of lag while playing graphics enriched games or working on multitasking.
Camera
The handset comes with triple-rear camera configuration – 48MP + 16MP + 2MP. All these sensors demonstrate superb detailing of images and naturalness of their color reproduction in the daytime while maintaining a satisfactory quality of images in low-light. A solid and quality-oriented 25MP front-facing camera is delighted for selfie lovers as well as making video calls with their loved ones.
Camera features include LED Flash, HDR, Panorama, Geo-Tagging and more and one would be able to record 2160p videos at 30fps or 1080p videos at 30fps.
Storage and OS
The Nova 4 comes loaded with an internal memory of 128GB which means you can now have a pleasure of saving oodles amount of data in your handset without getting worried any further. Most important of all, the onboard storage supports microSD card in case you want to take the storage on the next level. In terms of software, it’s running on Android 9.0 Pie operating system out of the box.
Battery
The handset comes with an abundant performance duty 3900mAh non-removable battery which would somehow enable to have maximum battery time. That means you wouldn’t be needed to charge it that often. With a light use throughout an entire day, you won’t run out of the battery. However, a heavy user would be required to get it charged at least once before the day ends. It’s having a capability to be energized via its USB Port approx. 30% in a couple of minutes.
Hands-on reviews of Huawei Nova 4 are yet to be lived on the Internet but according to current details, it’s a flagship smartphone which provides some excellent features. Offering an exquisite and superb camera alongside huge storage which will definitely be admired by the audience. A high-quality and extra vibrant display with super-smooth performance is promised. Except for a Hybrid SIM slot, it’s showing no sign of a drawback.
