If you remembered the Huawei Nova 3, this one almost got the same path but better in terms of camera set-up and pricing.
Meet their first in the smartphone line-up with punch hole display - Huawei Nova 5. It has the right size of bezels and that not that intrusive 32 MP selfie camera.
Huawei Philippines said that there will be three colors for the Nova 5T and we got this bluish tone at the back which you can easily see those smudges and the main highlight, it's quad main cameras and the fourth one, reminds us on what they did on the P30 Pro. Quite light on the hand on this 6.26 inch display smartphone.
The top with noise cancelling mic and at the bottom, pin hole micropone, USB Type C and speaker. Yes as confirmed, there is no headphone jack in here which is a first on the Nova series
The right section has the volume rocker and power/unlock bar which also acts as a side fingerprint sensor with that right tacktile feel. The left portion has dual nano SIM tray No micro SD in here but just like in the Malaysia release, we will gonna have the 128 GB ROM version with 8 GB RAM.
We had lil time to play with the Nova 5T so we had to prioritize the quad main cameras with lots of tricks including the 2x zoom, wide angle, super macro and that extensive pro mode for an under 20k price with ISO that can go up to 102400. The portrait mode on selfies also brought in a lot options. I extras just like in the Nova 3, there is no FM radio that you can lean on.
Here are some of our camera samples taken from one of the private inside the launch venue at The Island in Bonifacio Global City. With it's Kirin 980 processor and 48 MP primary camera, we are setting some high standards in here but we are curious if to compare it with the Huawei P30. Selfies also done a wonderful job so far. You may notice that the watermark only works for those rear cameras.
