Huawei nova 5 Pro technical sheet
The Huawei nova 5 Pro suits buyers who want a sharp OLED display and capable hardware, with a smaller battery capacity than most phones launched around the same time as the main trade-off. Its 3500 mAh battery is below average, while 40 W fast charging is among the best of its time.
The 6.39-inch display has a density of 403 ppi, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time, and the body is 7.3 mm thick. Design and display are among the best of its time. Its 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage also exceed what most phones of the period offer; performance and hardware are among the best. Storage is expandable.
The camera is better than most: the 1/2-inch main sensor is larger than that of most phones of its time, and its 48 MP resolution is higher than most. There is no optical zoom. Connectivity is also better than most, with NFC and dual Nano-SIM. The overall NeoScore is 5.6. It is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize the display, memory and a versatile camera setup, and can accept a battery with limited capacity.
