Although we have so many smartphones on the market, Huawei thinks there is enough room to launch a new smartphone lineup that is designed for women. Huawei kept its promises and announced two new mid-range Nova smartphones at the IFA 2016 trade show.
Dubbed the Huawei Nova and Nova Plus, the smartphones are made out of aircraft-grade aluminum that morphed into a shape that is very similar to the Mate S. The Plus model comes with a 5.5-inch 1080p display, while the Nova packs a smaller 5-inch display with 1080p resolution, and they both have a fingerprint scanner.
The Huawei Nova and Nova Plus come in Prestige Gold, Mystic Silver and Titanium Grey colors. The former is priced at €399, while the Plus model costs €429. They will be available in October.
