At the end of last year, Huawei officially presented the Nova 8 and Nova 8 Pro, two upper-middle-range models with a Kirin 985 processor and a camera module that is quite peculiar for its size and shape. Now the Chinese company has just announced its successors: the Huawei Nova 9 and 9 Pro.
These two new terminals once again bet on a stylish design with an OLED screen and a quad-camera, but now they mount a Qualcomm brain and boast a fast charge that in the Pro model reaches 100 W. Of course, they lose 5G connectivity. Let’s see the rest of the features. Also, Read – 6 best apps that will completely change the experience with your Android mobile
