Huawei officially launched the Nova 13 and Nova 13 Pro in China yesterday. The Nova 13 features a 6.7-inch OLED screen with 1084×2412 resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a 300 Hz touch sampling rate, 1,440 Hz PWM dimming, and an inbuilt fingerprint sensor.
The phone runs HarmonyOS 4.2 and has storage options of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB. The rear camera system consists of a 50 MP f/1.9 main shooter and an 8 MP f/2.2 ultrawide. You have a 60 MP f/2.4 selfie camera.
A 5,000 mAh battery powers the lights and supports 100W fast wired charging. The Nova 13 is 161.4 x 75.3 x 6.98 mm and weighs 195g. It enables satellite communication, but only on mainland China.
The Nova 13 Pro features a 6.76-inch 1224×2776 LTPO OLED panel with an adaptive 120 Hz refresh rate, 300 Hz touch sampling rate, 2,160 Hz PWM dimming, and an inbuilt fingerprint sensor. It offers the same storage capacities as the 13.
On the back, 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 209 grams. It has a dust and splash resistance rating of IP65. The remainder of the specifications are identical to the non-Pro Nova 13.
The phones are available for purchase in China, starting at CNY 2,699 ($378) for the nova 13 and CNY 3,699 ($519) for the nova 13 Pro. It is uncertain when or if these will be accessible abroad.
