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 it is worth acting accordingly and releasing a worthwhile product.
Probably their main brainchild among smartphones is considered to be a branch of wonderful devices called Nova, which was launched in early 2016.This line of gadgets is characterized by a stylish appearance, a very convincing iron with all the characteristics and an adequate cost. All these advantages were possessed by the previous model Nova 3, which was released 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, as well as 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 seems to be built into the screen. Thanks to this interesting twist, Nova 4 began to be jokingly called full of holes. It is also worth noting 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 the 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 enhanced configuration, but in general, the price will move from $400 to $500 depending on the characteristics and appearance.

In principle, it is not surprising that Nova 4 decided to release in almost the same style as the previous generation. The main material for the body was glass - it takes about 80% of the entire component, the rest is occupied by an alloy of metals, streamlined along the end of the phone. The colorway of Nova 4 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 rectify the situation.The main problem of Nova 3 from the design side was a very 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 fingerprint scanner located under the main camera of the smart phone, and a face unlock sensor, which is located on the front of the gadget. In addition, this device has the most ordinary connectors: a standard audio connector for headphones, located on top of the case, and on the bottom - a USB port necessary for charging and other functions, as well as audio speakers. A mixed slot for two SIM cards and a flash card is built into the left side of the case.
Nova 4 boasts of its massiveness - the phone is really huge and this only enhances its elegance. True, the average user will have to get used to such dimensions a little, because at first it will not be very convenient to use. This multi-dimensionality is clearly emphasized by the display of impressive dimensions, 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-glare and oleophobic.
As many users know, the Nova branch from the previous generation is considered sub-flagship.But what does this mean in this case? In simple terms, the 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 offspring with a new generation chip, namely kirin 980. It can be noted that not very long ago, another flagship of the company, Huawei Mate 20, acquired this chip, which ultimately met all expectations and brought smartphones to a new level. All in all, the Kirin 980 is a real beast, with a maximum frequency of 2.6 GHz and an octa-core structure with 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. Not counting the memory of flash cards, the internal has 64, 128 and 256 GB, respectively.
It is also worth noting that the performance test 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 little guy 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 scenario will have excellent quality, and this, despite the time of day and the level of lighting.Every amateur, as well as professional photographer, will appreciate these advantages of a smartphone, because not all phones can boast of such camera quality.
The battery capacity is 3750 mAh 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 will last only a few days.
In general, this device can be called almost perfect. 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 gives the opportunity to enjoy all modern applications to the fullest and with a vengeance, and the moderate cost will allow almost every user who wishes 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 for both professional shots and ordinary selfie photos. Still cameras can give video shooting of excellent quality in Full HD resolution.
Probably the only serious drawback is the weak battery capacity, because such a powerful device needs serious recharge, and such a “skinny” battery will not be able to provide long-term charge power. But, despite such a shortcoming, it is still worth recognizing that this device has the right to proudly bear the title of flagship and give joy to its owners.
