Editorial report

Huawei nova 11 technical sheet

The Huawei nova 11 suits buyers who want a slim, light phone with a standout display. Its main trade-off is battery capacity: the 4500 mAh battery holds less than that of most phones of its time, although its 66 W fast charging is higher-powered than most.

The 6.7-inch OLED display has a 1084 × 2412 px resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate and 950-nit peak brightness. Its 91.4% screen-to-body ratio is among the highest of its time, while the 6.9 mm body thickness and 168 g weight also put the design among the best. The fingerprint reader sits under the display. The configuration shown pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage; the phone is sold in configurations from 6 GB / 128 GB to 12 GB / 256 GB.

Performance is typical among phones launched around the same time. The camera is also typical overall: a 50 MP rear camera is joined by an 8 MP ultrawide, but its f/1.9 aperture is worse than most. Video recording includes 4K and 960 fps slow motion. HarmonyOS 3, Wi-Fi 6, NFC and stereo speakers round out the feature set.

With a NeoScore of 6.4, the Huawei nova 11 is a stronger fit for buyers who prioritize a large display and thin, light design than for those who want a high-capacity battery.
