Editorial report
Huawei nova 12 Pro 12 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet
The Huawei nova 12 Pro suits buyers who want a high-density display and a slim design. Its 7.7 mm body is among the thinnest of phones launched around the same time, while the 6.76-inch display’s 449 ppi density is higher than most. It also has LTPO OLED technology, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and Always-On Display. The configuration shown pairs 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 512 GB.
The main camera combines 50 MP resolution with a 1/1.28″ sensor, among the largest of its time, and an f/1.4 aperture, among the brightest. The camera overall is better than most phones launched around the same time. There is no optical zoom or optical image stabilization. Connectivity is also better than most, with 5G, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and dual Nano-SIM support. Performance is typical for its time, though its 12 GB of RAM is more than most phones launched around the same time.
The trade-off is a 4600 mAh battery, with less capacity than most, while 100 W fast charging is among the most powerful of its time. Its overall NeoScore is 6.8. It is worth considering for buyers who prioritize the display, a slim body, and fast charging, and are comfortable with a lower-capacity battery.
