Huawei Nova Plus

high build quality ; USB Type-C ; good display ; reliably fingerprint scanner ; good cameras ; long battery runtimes

high SAR values ; only 2.4 GHz WLAN ; no App2SD / microSD cannot be formatted as internal storage ; only hybrid dual-SIM

Huawei's Nova Plus is a really good smartphone and we can only find few real drawbacks. Besides the bright display you get two really good cameras. Selfie fans will enjoy the front camera in particular. You also get a powerful battery, which actually...

Fantastic battery life ; Feels quite well-made, maybe more than pricing would suggest

Expected more from the cameras, after all Huawei's hype ; Display not terribly bright nor accurate ; EMUI will take novice users some getting used to ; No unified “Nova” hardware design, some poor aesthetic decisions

Huawei put together two very solid phones with the Nova and Nova Plus. They don't do any one thing really well, but instead combine respectable performance (so long as you aren't too into gaming), alright camera quality, and decent design into two...

The Huawei nova plus has an excellent design and fantastic finish. This convincing craftsmanship is its chief selling point. The display, chipset, and camera performance are just good enough not to drag it down.

Premium Design ; Performance ; Battery

Price ; Poor photo quality in conditions where there is little light ; The 5 GHz band lacks support

I believe Huawei has done a great job with the Nova Plus. Its strengths are undoubtedly its premium design, the overall user experience and battery performance. The camera, for a mid-range smartphone, offers good photos when lighting conditions are...

The Nova and Nova Plus are phones that appear to target Huawei's vision of millennials. They look good, they are optimized for taking selfies, and they have a battery which will allow you to play Pokemon Go for a while.

Reliable fingerprint sensor ; Strong battery life ; Classy design

Ugly interface ; Camera underwhelming ; Mediocre power for the money
