Huawei renews it midrange line up with Nova and Nova Plus announced for IFA 2016.

Upfront it makes use of 2.5D Curved glass unto a contoured frame, curves and runs around the back looks elegant and sexy. Major difference lies at the back for Nova follows tat of Huawei P9 but with round fingerprint sensor and Nova Plus on the other hand follows the Mate series but with squarish Fingerprint sensor. Guess Huawei is playing with design but Nova and Nova Plus really look so good.

Under the hood, both are powered by Snapdragon 625 Octa-Core Processor with Adreno 506 GPU, 3GB RAM and 32GB Internal Storage. You can expand if you need via MicroSD slot for up to 128GB.

Major difference is also found on their optics, as Nova will carry only 12MP while Nova Plus has 16MP Primary Rear Camera. Hybrid AF is supported for both but OIS is only found on Nova Plus. The Two will have front camera set at 8MP.

These are Dual Sim Dual Standby Smartphones and carries the regular sets of connectivity from WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS. Huawei implements USB Type-C for its next generation devices. Guess thsi is to prepare for the future. This should enable support for USB-OTG and other functions.

Fingerprint security is available for both devices for more personalized security.

Availability for the Huawei Nova is said to be in October in over 50 countries and regions. The Huawei Nova Plus will initially be available in October in over 50 markets. No Word Yet on Pricing.
