Huawei has made a significant announcement in China, unveiling the nova 11 series which includes three new phones: the vanilla nova 11, nova 11 Pro, and nova 11 Ultra, all featuring a signature green paint job. All three models are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chipset, but limited to 4G-only network.
A closer look on the Nova 11 Pro and Ultra
The nova 11 Ultra and Pro model both feature a 6.78″ 10-bit AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 300Hz touch sampling rate. The resolution is 2652 x 1200 pixels, and some versions come with Kunlun Glass protection and slightly curved edges. There is a pill-shaped hole in the upper left corner for the dual selfie cameras.
The front camera setup includes a 60MP wide camera with a 100-degree field of view (FoV) and an 8MP camera with 2x optical zoom for portrait purposes.
The rear camera setup consists of a 50MP main camera with an aperture that can toggle between f/1.4 and f/4.0, RYYB sensor, and laser autofocus (AF), an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a “ten-channel color temperature sensor” for color adjustments.
Both the nova 11 Pro and Ultra come with a 4,500mAh battery and support 100W charging, with the required adapter included in the retail box.
Other features include HarmonyOS 3.0 and a vegan leather back on the Green and Black versions, while the White and Gold versions have glass backs. Storage options for the nova 11 Pro include 256GB and 512GB, while the nova 11 Ultra comes with 512GB only.
