The Huawei nova 8 was introduced back in December 2020, and now, the phone moved out of China hitting its first international market.
While the Chinese model runs on the Kirin 985 chipset with a 2.58 GHz CPU, the nova 8 launched in Russia comes with Kirin 820E – a 7nm mid-range chipset.
The Huawei nova 8’s CPU has six cores – 3x Cortex-A76 at 2.22 GHz and 3x Cortex-A55 at 1.84 GHz. The GPU is Mali-G57, and the rest of the specs remain the same as the Chinese variant. Russian customers will get the 8/128 GB memory variant, but there is no card slot.
The handset features a 6.57” OLED with 1B colors, Full HD+ resolution and an UD fingerprint scanner. It has a single punch hole in the middle for the 32MP snapper, while the camera setup on the back has 64MP main and 8MP ultrawide units along with a couple of 2MP sensors for depth and macro.
One of the best features of the nova 8 is its charging capabilities – the 3,800 mAh battery comes with 66W fast charging which would bring 60% charge in just 15 minutes, while the whole cell can be filled in just 35 minutes.
