Just 2 days before Christmas, Huawei launched new gifts for smartphone enthusiasts: Huawei Nova 8 and Nova 8 Pro. They are successors to Nova 7 series, but with much fewer improvements over them. So, how do they fare in terms of price and competition in the market? Let’s find out in this quick overview of Huawei Nova 8 and 8 Pro with key specifications and prices in Nepal.

Huawei Nova 8 Overview

The back panel of the phone is somewhat similar to Nova 7 5G, with polycarbonate material and light rays spreading from camera bump. The main difference in between 7 and 8 is that huge camera cutout on Nova 8.

The display used is a lot improved version. We get 6.57″ FHD+ OLED screen with 90Hz refresh rate (240 Hz touch sampling rate), HDR10 and 1B color. However, the chip-set used here is the same Kirin 985 which is a 5G processor. On the camera side, we have quad-camera setup with 64MP(primary) + 8MP(ultra-wide) + 2MP(depth) + 2MP(macro) combination. There is a single 32MP selfie camera to take selfies.

It comes with smaller 3800mAh battery, but with 66W fast charging support. So, you can charge your phone very quickly (100% in 35 mins).

Huawei Nova 8 Pro Overview

Nova 8 Pro doesn’t bring any significant advantages over the regular Nova 8 in terms of the design. We get the same design and pretty much the same color pattern. The camera bump on the back is also the same, with only difference in selfie camera module, as of aesthetics are concerned.

There is a larger 6.72″ 1236 x 2676 pixels with higher 120Hz refresh rate. It’s an OLED panel with HDR10 support and 300Hz touch sampling rate. We get the same Kirin 985 5G octa-core CPU with octa-core Mali G77 GPU.

For selfies, there is a dual camera setup with 32MP(100˚ ultra-wide) and 16MP, f/2.0 sensors.

There are two variants, 8GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB. Juicing up the phone is a larger 4000mAh battery with 66W fast charging support. Some of the cons of both the devices maybe pointed out as it doesn’t support google play services, lack of headphone jack and non-expandable storage.
