Design
The nova 5 Pro uses an in-screen optical fingerprint sensor. On the back, you'll only find a photomodule. The casing itself is something of a sandwich of glass, aluminium and glass. The screen bezels are satisfyingly thin. The bottom one is a bit more flared, which is familiar from Huawei's other models with a bezel-less design.
The color of the body is executed in an atypical gradient. The available color choices are black, green, purple and coral. The smartphone itself cannot be described as lightweight. It weighs 171 grams.
Display
Huawei nova 5 Pro will appeal to users who prefer phones with large displays. It is set on a 6.39-inch diagonal. The display is implemented on AMOLED technology. The resolution of the matrix is 1080 x 2340 pixels. The aspect ratio is 19.5:9. The front camera is cleverly hidden in a teardrop-shaped notch. In the display specifications, we read that it has 108% DCI-P3 cinematic color gamut.
Performance
The main difference of the Pro-version from the Huawei nova 5 lies in the chipset. In the flagship of the series, the manufacturer has bet on a top solution of its own development - Kirin 980. This processor debuted at the end of 2018. We saw it in the Huawei Mate 20 Pro model. It is used in some of the company's top smartphone manufacturers. In general, it is an 8-core chipset, executed on a 7-nm process, which corresponds in performance to the Snapdragon 845 (10-nm), but can not measure forces with the 855. The graphics is handled by a Mali-G76MP10 video accelerator. It will provide the user with an enjoyable experience while playing games at maximum settings.
The internal memory in the nova 5 Pro is either 128 GB or 256 GB. The RAM is 8 GB. The manufacturer has left the option of using a Nano Memory format memory card. The latter works together with 2 SIM cards.
Huawei nova 5 Pro goes with a USB 2.0 Type-C port. It supports various navigation protocols and NFC.
Cameras
This Huawei smartphone has a basic four-sensor photomodule. The main camera is 48 MP. It is accompanied by a 16MP wide-angle camera, a 2MP camera for the bokeh effect and another 2MP camera for macro shots. The Huawei nova 5 Pro's camera can record 4K video.
The front camera, in turn, is 32 MP. It supports night mode shooting and it is used for facial recognition.
Autonomous operation
The built-in battery capacity of the Huawei nova 5 Pro is 3500 mAh. According to the manufacturer's assurances, with the help of fast charging technology (40W power) you can charge your smartphone up to 50% in just 15 minutes. For another 15 minutes you get 85% charge.
Conclusion
Huawei nova 5 Pro features an exciting array of cameras, beautiful design and competitive price.
