Editorial report
Huawei nova 6 5G 8 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet
The Huawei nova 6 5G suits people looking for a versatile camera, 5G connectivity and generous storage. Its main trade-off is weight: at 212 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time, while the 9 mm body thickness is typical.
The rear camera combines 40 MP, an f/1.8 aperture and optical stabilization. Its telephoto camera adds 3x optical zoom, among the best of its time, and video recording reaches 4K at 60 fps. The 32 MP front camera records 4K at 30 fps, giving the phone a particularly capable camera setup.
The Kirin 990, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage in this version are better than those in most phones of its time. That applies to both its 650,833 AnTuTu score and its storage capacity. The 6.57″ IPS LCD display has 401 ppi, while its 84.5% usable surface is also better than in most phones on the corresponding measure.
Connectivity is better than in most phones, with 5G, dual SIM, NFC and several navigation systems. The 4200 mAh battery is typical, but 40 W charging is faster than in most phones of its time. Android 10 without Google Services and without direct OS updates is a significant limitation. With an overall NeoScore of 5.9, the Huawei nova 6 5G is better than most phones of its time.
