Editorial report

Huawei nova 8 Pro 4G technical sheet

The Huawei nova 8 Pro 4G suits anyone looking for a large, smooth display: its 6.72-inch OLED panel runs at 120 Hz. Its main trade-off is the 4,000 mAh battery, which has less capacity than most phones of its time.

The display is among the best of its time. Along with its 120 Hz refresh rate, it has 439 ppi density and a 91.7% screen-to-body ratio. The hardware also stands better than most phones launched around the same time, and its 256 GB storage capacity is higher than most. The processor is a Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 985 5G.

The rear camera's 64 MP resolution is higher than that of most phones of its time. There is also an ultra-wide camera, and video recording includes 4K. Connectivity stands better than on most phones of its time, with Wi-Fi 6, NFC and Dual Nano-SIM. The battery capacity is lower than most, but 66 W fast charging is higher-powered than on most phones launched around the same time. With an overall NeoScore of 6.4, this is a good fit for anyone prioritizing a standout display, ample storage and fast charging while accepting a smaller battery capacity.
