Huawei nova 13 and nova 13 Pro


Huawei has finally made the nova 13 and nova 13 Pro official in China today. The nova 13 comes with a 6.7-inch OLED screen with 1084x2412 resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, 300 Hz touch sampling rate, 1,440 Hz PWM dimming, and an embedded fingerprint sensor. The phone runs HarmonyOS 4.2 and has 256GB/512GB/1TB of storage. On the rear there's a dual camera system comprising of a 50 MP f/1.9 main shooter and an 8 MP f/2.2 ultrawide. For selfies you have a 60 MP f/2.4 shooter.

Keeping the lights on is a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 100W fast wired charging. The nova 13 measures 161.4 x 75.3 x 6.98 mm and weighs 195g. It supports satellite connectivity, but only in mainland China. The nova 13 Pro has a 6.76-inch 1224x2776 LTPO OLED panel with adaptive 120 Hz refresh rate, 300 Hz touch sampling rate, 2,160 Hz PWM dimming, and an embedded fingerprint sensor. It has the same storage options as the 13.

On the rear there's a 50 MP main camera with f/1.4-f/4.0 variable aperture, a 12 MP 3x telephoto camera, and an 8 MP ultrawide. The Pro measures 163.4 x 74.9 x 7.82 mm and weighs 209g. It's IP65 rated for dust and splash resistance. The rest of the specs are identical to the non-Pro nova 13.

The phones are available to order in China starting at CNY 2,699 (US$ 378) for the nova 13 and CNY 3,699 (US$ 519) for the nova 13 Pro. It's unclear when or if these will become available internationally. And in case you missed the most important missing bit - Huawei hasn't detailed what chipset either of them is powered by.
