The f / 1.7 aperture, coupled with a 60-megapixel sensor, allows you to capture professional quality images. Night mode uses intelligent light detection, image noise reduction, long exposure times, and stabilization technology to revolutionize blur-free shooting. Huawei technologies optimize the 60MP HD sensor to turn it into a telephoto lens. The user has the ability to take great photographs with 2x optical zoom with good focus on the smallest details. Parameters such as color, lighting and contrast are automatically adjusted for high quality footage.

The smartphone is powered by HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G chipset, octa-core processor clocked at up to 2.86GHz. For video viewing, the GPU Mali-G76 MP16 and 8 GB of RAM help.

This amount of RAM improves performance and allows multiple applications to run at the same time, and 128 GB of memory provides ample space for games, favorite songs, movies and applications.

The Kirin 990 processor remains one of the fastest smartphones available in 2019, so it will be a good solution for active gaming.

Sound

There is a single down-speaker at the bottom, which is not intended for additional stereo effect.
The sound of the songs during playback is not loud enough to allow you to enjoy a rather rich sound.

Bass is there, but it's not as deep and powerful as other phones with higher-end speakers. At least it is not distorted or muted. The speaker is also great for making calls. Microphones can record sound well with little noise.

The mids and audio separation are fine, but the highs have hiss.

For headphones, it is possible to activate Histen. As this mode will automatically adjust the sound effect depending on the content you are listening to.

The phone is not equipped with an audio jack and you will have to use wireless headphones. The manufacturer claims that the Bluetooth connection will be really stable as it uses the new Bluetooth 5 technology.

Price

• 8GB RAM / 256GB will retail for $ 542;
• 12 GB RAM / 256 GB external storage - $ 584

Depending on the selection criteria and expected functionality, everyone will find a suitable model for themselves.

Conclusion

Huawei Nova 6 has a modern design that uses high-quality materials, a set of four cameras on the back, a powerful processor, and long battery life combined with fast charging capabilities, which gives it the opportunity to claim a leading position in the ranking of quality gadgets in 2019. The downside is that the internal storage is not expandable. But 128GB is still considered large for a phone at this price point.
