Editorial report

Huawei nova 9 Pro technical sheet

The Huawei nova 9 Pro suits buyers who prioritize a detailed display and very powerful fast charging, and can accept a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 256 GB. Its 6.72″ AMOLED display pairs a 120 Hz refresh rate with 439 ppi density, among the highest of its time. The curved display also covers 91.2% of the front.

Performance is better than that of most phones launched around the same time: the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G records 578,555 points in AnTuTu v10. The camera is also better than most, and the main camera's 1/1.56″ sensor is larger than that of most phones of its time. Its f/1.9 aperture, however, is less bright than most. Video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps, and an 8 MP ultrawide camera sits on the back.

Connectivity is better than that of most phones of its time, with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC and dual Nano-SIM. The 4000 mAh battery has less capacity than most, while 100 W fast charging is among the most powerful of its time. Overall, the phone stands better than most phones launched around the same time. With a NeoScore of 6.1, it suits buyers who value its display, cameras and charging more than greater battery capacity.
