Editorial report

Huawei nova 10 8 GB / 256 GB / International technical sheet

The Huawei nova 10 suits buyers looking for a slim, light phone with a standout display; the trade-off is a lower-capacity battery than most phones launched around the same time. At 6.9 mm thick and 168 g, it is among the thinnest and lightest phones of its time.

Its 6.67″ OLED display has a 120 Hz refresh rate and an 89.6% screen-to-body ratio. The design and display are among the best of its time. Performance is typical, although its AnTuTu result of 572,148 is higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the nova 10 is also sold with 8 GB / 256 GB.

Connectivity is better than on most phones of its time, with Wi-Fi 6, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2 and dual Nano-SIM support. The camera is typical overall: its 50 MP main camera has an f/1.9 aperture, which is less bright than most, and no optical image stabilization. The 4,000 mAh battery has less capacity than most, while 66 W charging is faster than on most phones launched around the same time.

With a NeoScore of 6.0, the nova 10 is best suited to buyers who prioritize a strong display, a notably slim build and broad connectivity, and can accept a smaller battery capacity.
