Huawei Nova 5, Nova 5 Pro, and Nova 5i Unveiled |
Let’s talk about the Nova 5 Pro first! As the most impressive smartphone under the series, the device comes with an immersive 6.39-inch OLED screen with FHD+ 2340 x 1080 resolution.

Nevertheless, it comes with a trendy in-display fingerprint scanner to match its rivals.
Under the hood, the Pro variant is powered by the flagship Kirin 980 processor paired with Mali-G76 graphics. To accompany users on their daily tasks, the device is loaded with a large 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB storage.
And as usual, Huawei banks on its photography department. The Nova 5 Pro is equipped quad rear cameras composed of a 48-megapixel f/1.8 main shooter, 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, 2-megapixel macro lens, and 2-megapixel depth sensor. For selfies, it features a 32-megapixel f/2.0 snapper that has AI capabilities to enhance your photos.
