Editorial report

Huawei nova 13 12 GB / 1 TB / China technical sheet

The Huawei nova 13 suits people who prioritize a large display and a slim design, but its battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. The 6.7-inch OLED display has a 120 Hz refresh rate. Its 89.1% screen-to-body ratio and 7 mm thickness also compare better than those of most phones from its time, giving the screen a prominent place in a relatively thin body.

This version has 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Its 100 W charging rate is among the highest of phones launched around the same time, while the 5000 mAh battery has less capacity than most. The rear main camera's f/1.9 aperture is less wide than that of most phones from its time, and it has no optical image stabilization. The phone also has no Google Services, a notable limitation for anyone who relies on them.

The overall NeoScore is 6.4, typical among phones launched around the same time. The nova 13 stands out most for its display and slimness, with 12 GB of RAM and fast charging adding to its appeal. The smaller battery, camera aperture and lack of Google Services are the main drawbacks to weigh. It is worth considering for people seeking a large OLED display in a slim phone, provided those trade-offs fit their priorities.
