Huawei developers can release a really large number of new phone models in a year, but besides, they can also provide their devices with decent quality. Well, how could it be otherwise, they are considered one of the main representatives in the phone market, so you should act accordingly and release a worthwhile product.
Probably their main brainchild among smartphones is a branch of wonderful devices called Nova, which was launched back in early 2016. This line of gadgets is characterized by a stylish appearance, very convincing hardware with all the characteristics and adequate cost. All these advantages were possessed by the previous model Nova 3, the release of which took place in mid-2018. And now it's time to find out detailed information about the characteristics and other details of the fourth generation of this series of smartphones.
Nova 4 is a really powerful device with very serious parameters and interesting innovations. This gadget can offer as many as 4 cameras with incredibly high-quality shooting, by the way, one of them, namely the front one, looks quite solid - it is, as it were, built into the screen. Thanks to this interesting twist, Nova 4 was jokingly called full of holes. Also worth noting is the 8-core processor, which in any case puts the phone in the flagship category and makes it a really powerful little one.
According to publishers, the smartphone will be available in the first half of next year. The average cost of the device will be approximately $ 495 - this is taking into account the reinforced configuration, but in general, the price will maneuver from $ 400 to $ 500, depending on the characteristics and appearance.

In principle, it is not surprising that they decided to release Nova 4 in almost the same style as the previous generation. The main material for the body is glass - it occupies about 80% of the entire component, the rest is occupied by an alloy of metals, streamlined along the end of the phone. The Nova 4 color scheme includes a natural set - it has black, white, red and blue colors.
It is also worth noting the following nuance - based on numerous complaints from third-generation buyers, the developers decided to correct the situation. The main problem of the Nova 3 from the design side was a strongly protruding camera, this is what the guys from Huawei worked on and fixed - now the new model looks different. You can also notice an interesting similarity between the Nova 4 and the representative of the latest generation of iPhones, apparently the developers of Chinese smartphones like to copy the expensive "Apple".
As it should be for a stylish device, Nova 4 has all the necessary security system - a finger scanner located under the main camera of the smart, and a face unlock sensor, which is located on the front panel of the gadget. In addition, this device has the most ordinary connectors: a standard sound for headphones, located on top of the case, and below - a USB port necessary for charging and other functions, as well as sound speakers. A mixed slot for two SIM cards and a flash card is built into the left side of the case.
Nova 4 can boast of its massiveness - the phone is really huge and this only enhances its elegance. True, an ordinary user will have to get used to such sizes a little, because at first it will not be very convenient to use. This large size is clearly emphasized by the impressive display, which occupies almost 90 percent of the front panel of the phone - its diagonal is 6.4 inches, which makes it huge. The resolution is also quite good - it has 2350x1080 pixels. The screen coating is anti-reflective and oleophobic.
As many users know, the Nova branch from the previous generation is considered sub-flagship. What does this mean in this case? In simple terms, representatives of this series, despite their mid-caliber cost, have very productive and powerful processors like KIRIN. Without departing from traditions, the creators of the phone charged their brainchild with a new generation chip, namely kirin 980. It can be noted that not very long ago another flagship of the company acquired this chip - Huawei Mate 20, which ultimately met all expectations and brought smartphones to a new level. In general, the Kirin 980 is a real beast, its maximum frequency is 2.6 GHz, moreover, it has an eight-core structure and includes three clusters:
The solid Mali G76 core is responsible for the visual component, which gives a colorful picture, and the RAM has from 6 to 8 gigabytes. Apart from the memory of flash cards, the internal one has 64, 128 and 256 GB, respectively.
It is also worth noting that when testing performance, Nova 4 gave excellent results. In general, the result is this - this smartphone is a really powerful device and is suitable for any complex operations.
This powerful toddler boasts four amazing cameras:
It is noteworthy that the front camera is built into the glass of the smartphone and looks quite elegant. Pictures in any situation will be of excellent quality, and this, despite the time of day and the level of lighting. Every amateur and professional photographer will appreciate these advantages of a smartphone, because not all phones can boast of such quality cameras.
The battery capacity is 3750mAh and supports both wireless and fast charging. The disadvantage of this battery is its relative low capacity, because it is worth considering the internal characteristics of the smartphone system - with such powerful parameters, the battery charge will only last for a few days.
In general, this device can be called almost ideal. It contains everything that is necessary for full functionality and ease of use. Despite its bulkiness, we can confidently say that the phone is comfortable, stylish and powerful. The visual component pleases with its image, the power of the system makes it possible to enjoy all modern applications in full and with interest, and the moderate cost will allow almost everyone to find money to buy. In addition to all this, it is worth recalling a good camera, or rather a number of good cameras - they are suitable both for professional shots and for ordinary selfies. Cameras can also provide excellent quality video recording in Full HD resolution.
Probably the only serious drawback is the weak capacity of the battery, because such a powerful device needs serious recharge, and such a "skinny" battery cannot provide long-term power supply to the charge. But, despite this shortcoming, it is still worth recognizing - this device has the right to proudly bear the title of flagship and give joy to its owners.
