Alongside Mate X6, HUAWEI has announced its nova 13 series globally. The selfie-focused series comes in two models: the nova 13 and the nova 13 Pro. These come with a 60MP ultra-wide AF front camera coupled with a XD Portrait Engine that enhances facial contours, refines skin texture, clears complexion, and perfectly balances light and shadow for portrait shots.
The Pro model additionally has an 8MP close-up portrait front camera that offers up to 5x digital zoom for selfies. At the back, these have a 50MP physical variable aperture camera (f/1.4~f/4.0 aperture) with an RYYB super-sensitive filter array, an 8MP ultra-wide macro camera, and a 10-channel colour temperature sensor.
The nova 13 features a 6.7″ FHD+ 120Hz flat OLED screen, while the Pro and Ultra model has a 6.7″ 1-120 Hz LTPO micro-curved OLED panel with 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming support. These boast a dynamic plaid texture design, run EMUI 14.2, and have a large 5000mAh battery with 100W supercharging technology.
