Nova 5T: Huawei Can Still Make New Phones With Google Services (sort of)

Today at a small event in Paris, Huawei announced its latest device for the more mass market: the Huawei Nova 5T for the EU. The Nova line from Huawei is part of its strategy to address the wider market with almost up-to-date components: it is priced well below the P series and Mate series flagships, but has the hardware inside from high-end devices launched earlier this year, all for a modest cost. This time around, the Nova gets a redesign, and despite US-China issues, this device has Google Media Services installed.

The Huawei Nova 5T: It’s an Honor 20 Pro in Disguise

At the EU launch, Huawei announced the new Nova 5T: a Kirin 980 based smartphone for £400 ($425 pre-tax) featuring an all-front display and a hole punch front-facing camera in the top left corner. It only took a couple of seconds to realize that I had seen this design before, on the Honor 20 Pro. A quick run-down of the spec sheet shows remarkable similarities.

The display is a 6.26-inch 2340x1080 LCD (IPS) screen that wraps around the edges of the phone to create more of a full-screen look. That hole punch front facing camera is 32MP f/2.0 unit with 0.8 micron pixels.

Where the Nova 5T is trying to set itself apart is in the offerings on the rear. The feel is meant to be textured with three quite vibrant color offerings: Crush Blue, Midsummer Purple, and Black. The Nova logo on the rear is also doing this odd tilt thing with the different letters, which is meant to say ‘Nova’ but because each letter should be read from a different angle, looks more like ‘OACn’ or something. Nonetheless, that rear pattern design is somewhat different.

The rear four cameras are where Huawei wants to highlight the device. The main camera is a 48MP f/1.4 aperture sensor with 0.8 micron pixels, PDAF, Laser Auto-Focus, and OIS. The secondary camera is an 16MP f/2.2 ultrawide camera, with a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor and a 2MP 27mm dedicated macro camera. Compared to the Honor 20 Pro, the secondary camera gains some megapixels but loses OIS, and there’s no telephoto lens. Therein lies some of the price difference.
