Editorial report

Huawei nova 13 Pro technical sheet

The Huawei nova 13 Pro suits anyone looking for a versatile camera setup and a high-density display. Its main trade-off is a 5,000 mAh battery, although 100 W charging is among the fastest specifications of its time.

The camera system is a standout: its f/1.4 aperture is among the brightest, while the telephoto camera's 3x optical zoom is among the highest magnifications of its time. Overall, the camera is among the best on phones launched around the same time. The 6.76-inch display has 449 ppi, higher than most phones of its time, and its 88.9% screen-to-body ratio is also higher than most. Taken as a whole, design and display are typical for the period.

This version pairs 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage; the nova 13 Pro is also sold with 512 GB and 1 TB. Storage is not expandable, and the phone has no Google Services. Other features include IP65 protection, dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and USB 2.0. Its battery capacity is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time, but it supports 100 W fast charging. The NeoScore of 7.2 is better than most phones launched around the same time. It is a strong fit for camera and display priorities, with battery capacity as the clear compromise.
