    Huawei Nova 13 and 13 Pro Launch in Europe: 60MP Selfie, 100W Charge

    The Huawei Nova 13 series was introduced in China around the middle of October. Now, Huawei has shared information about its European launch. In Germany, the Huawei Nova 13 will be available with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage priced at €549 (approximately US$576). The Nova 13 Pro, on the other hand, will offer 512 GB of storage for €699 (around US$733). However, Huawei has not provided a specific date for when these phones will be available.

    Design and Display Differences

    The two models in the Nova 13 lineup differ mainly in design and their camera features. The Nova 13 has a flat frame with a flat 6.7-inch display, while the Pro version sports a 6.76-inch screen and a back cover that has significantly rounded edges on both sides. Both phones are equipped with a 120Hz OLED display that includes an integrated invisible fingerprint scanner.

    Camera Specifications

    While both devices come with a 60MP f/2.4 selfie camera that has a 17 mm focal length and supports 4K video recording, the Nova 13 Pro adds an 8MP f/2.2 portrait camera with a focal length equivalent to 52 mm. The main camera on the Nova 13 boasts a 50MP sensor with a fixed aperture of f/1.9, whereas the Pro variant features a main camera with a variable aperture ranging from f/1.4 to f/4.0. Both models include an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide camera, but the telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom is exclusive to the Pro model, featuring 12MP and an aperture of f/2.4.

    Battery and Charging Capabilities

    Equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery, the phones can charge at a remarkable 100 watts via USB-C, enabling them to go from 3% to 50% battery in only 9 minutes. To keep prices down, Huawei chose not to include wireless charging or a waterproof design. Additionally, there has been no announcement from Huawei about the duration of software support for either the Nova 13 or Nova 13 Pro.

  • Huawei Nova 13 and 13 Pro: 120Hz OLED, 5,000mAh Battery

    Huawei Nova 13 and 13 Pro: 120Hz OLED, 5,000mAh Battery

    The first tri-fold smartphone manufacturer, Huawei, has updated its Nova series with the introduction of the Nova 13 and Nova 13 Pro smartphones in China. The new mid-range devices maintain a design similar to the previous Nova 12 series. While Huawei typically releases its Nova series smartphones worldwide, this time they are only available in China.

    Specifications Overview

    As is common, Huawei has disclosed all the specifications for these models, but they have not mentioned the names of the chipsets used. Both the Nova 13 and Nova 13 Pro run on Huawei’s own HarmonyOS 4.2. Importantly, users can install all Android applications on both smartphones.

    Display Features

    The standard Nova 13 features a 6.7-inch FHD+ OLED display, boasting a refresh rate of 120Hz. Additionally, it includes an in-display fingerprint sensor for added security. In contrast, the Nova 13 Pro has a slightly larger 6.76-inch LTPO OLED display which also supports an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate and offers a resolution of 2276 x 1224 pixels.

    Camera Capabilities

    When it comes to photography, the Pro model comes equipped with a triple-camera setup that includes a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP telephoto lens offering 3x zoom, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. On the flip side, the standard Nova 13 has a simpler dual rear camera configuration, featuring a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide lens, lacking a telephoto option.

    Both models are equipped with an identical 60MP front-facing camera and a 5,000mAh battery that supports 100W fast charging. A notable difference is that the Pro version has an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, which the standard version does not have.

    Pricing Information

    The Nova 13 starts at CNY 2,699 (approximately $380), while the Nova 13 Pro is available for CNY 3,699 (about $520). Both smartphones are currently up for sale in China. However, there is no information yet regarding their availability in international markets; it’s expected that Huawei will soon announce the Nova 13 series for other regions.

  • Huawei Nova 13 Pro Specs Leaked After Geekbench Listing

    Huawei Nova 13 Pro Specs Leaked After Geekbench Listing

    Huawei is now accepting pre-orders for its Nova 13 series in China, although it plans to fully disclose the specifications only after the official launch set for October 22, 2024.

    Variants and Leaks

    The series is expected to include standard and Pro models, with no Ultra variant this time around. One of these models may have already appeared on Geekbench under the name Huawei MIS-AL00. Renowned leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS) has identified it as the 13 Pro, likely due to its impressive 12GB of RAM paired with a processor similar to what was leaked about the first-generation Nova Flip.

    Performance Insights

    If this information is accurate, the 13 Pro seems to be maximizing the Kirin 8000 chip’s potential better than its clamshell counterpart, achieving a multi-core score of 2,900. However, the Flip recorded a single-core score of exactly 1,000, and the 13 Pro hasn’t surpassed that in the single-core department.

    Features and Operating System

    The device will come with these specifications to operate on HarmonyOS 4.2 right out of the box, which was likely misclassified as Android 12 on Geekbench. It will sport a 1.5K quad-curved display with uniform bezels and is expected to offer fast charging at 100W, similar to the forthcoming OnePlus 13, according to DCS.

    The 13 Pro is also rumored to maintain the Nova series’ hallmark 50MP variable aperture main rear camera, along with dual selfie cameras featuring a 60MP primary lens and optical zoom capabilities.

    5G and Marketing Strategy

    In conclusion, Huawei may refrain from labeling the Nova 13 Pro as a 5G device outright this time, but they might promote it as the latest Beidou satellite-messaging phone aimed at the mid-range market.
