Introduction
What are the necessities for a brand new mannequin to represent an improve over the earlier one within the collection? Usually, a chipset improve is on that checklist, maybe some enhancements within the digital camera division, some tweaks within the show, an even bigger battery or quicker charging – one thing alongside these strains. Nicely, the Huawei nova 11 Professional would not seem to convey any of these – so is there one thing that makes it higher than the nova 10 Professional?
Nicely, the rear design is completely different, for one. Huawei has toned down the gorgeous cheesy digital camera island styling of the earlier era and launched two colorways with fake leather-based rear panels and a debossed ‘nova’ sample.
And, as a result of we all know a couple of issues in regards to the handset already, we’ll spill some tea. Simply because the charging specs are the identical, would not essentially imply the outcomes are the identical – we obtained some correctly spectacular numbers there.
The nova 11 Professional could solely be doing the naked minimal to earn the correct of incrementing on the mannequin title, however the 10 Professional already had some strong specs, so perhaps it isn’t truthful to dismiss the 11 fairly so simply. For instance, the somewhat distinctive entrance digital camera system that features a 60MP ultrawide unit and a 50-ish-mm-equivalent zoom digital camera has been carried over and could be simply the correct promoting level for a selfie-crazed crowd.
On the again, the 2MP depth sensor that is been scrapped now’s unlikely to be missed, however the now launched laser AF ought to assist at the hours of darkness and with closeups. And closeups is the place the in any other case modest in decision ultrawide (8MP) can do higher than most, due to its AF functionality. The 50MP fundamental digital camera proved a succesful performer on the previous mannequin too, so we’re not complaining it returns, principally unchanged.
It is form of the same story in different areas. The flowery dual-curved 6.78-inch show had each the pixels and the hertz to not be in fast want of improve. The Snapdragon 778G chip will not be cutting-edge, but it surely stays a strong contender within the midrange house, too. And with a beneficiant 256BG base storage model (128GB on the nova 10 Professional) and a 512GB choice, you will not be starved for reminiscence both.
