nova, by definition, is a star that suddenly lights up over a period of time before eventually fading. The HUAWEI nova line, in the meantime, aims to keep you in the spotlight. And that’s especially true with the HUAWEI nova 11 Pro. 

With its Super Design, Super Camera, and  Super Charge Innovation, you’ll definitely feel, well… Super! 

Super Design

The nova 11 Pro’s back panel will immediately catch your attention. First with the way it looks. Second with how it feels. 

This black colorway that we have, in particular, showcases a touch of elegance not often seen on midrangers. The back has a Monogram Vegan Leather design. It has ‘nova’ engravings making the phone feel premium to touch. 

The black look is highlighted by gold — both by the HUAWEI nova logo at the bottom part of the phone, as well as the lining around the main camera which we can’t wait to showcase to you. More on that later. 

It has a 6-point-78-inch, OLED, curved-edge display with 120Hz of refresh rate and FULL HD, ultra-high resolution for a truly enjoyable viewing experience.

And that display is protected by Kunlun Glass making it near impervious to accidental drops and falls.

Super Camera

The nova 11 Pro has a killer look. But it impresses even more with its portrait-taking capabilities. 

Here are the lenses that the phone is rocking: On the rear are the 50 megapixel Ultra Vision Camera and the 8 megapixel Ultra-wide macro camera. And up front you have the 60 megapixel Ultra wide Autofocus camera and the 8 megapixel portrait close-up camera.

More important than the numbers are all the things that it will let you do. 

You can take portraits, in more ways than one! The nova 11 Pro is built for that.  

What about selfies? We all love them! The nova 11 pro lets you take them at different focal lengths… and different lighting conditions. 

What about non portraits and selfies? Naturally, the nova 11 Pro can more than deliver quality photos, in many different shooting scenarios. This makes it a really handy camera to always have in your pocket. 

Are you more into videos? Hop into vlog mode, and show off your style.

Super Charge

You can say a nova is somewhat of a burst. Charging speed-wise, it definitely does just that with the SuperCharge Turbo feature.

With the 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo charging modes, the HUAWEI nova 11 Pro can be charged with haste. 

That’s up to 60% in 10 minutes and fully charged in 20 minutes when the screen is off. Screen on? You get to 50% in 15 minutes. Easy and speedy.

AppGallery with GBox

But what’s a smartphone without the apps that you need? Fret not, Huawei has beefed up the AppGallery. Now you can download all the necessary apps. 

There’s the Grab Super App for deliveries, getting around, and more. GCash for all your transactions and Landbank and BPI for your banking needs! 

Into gaming? Pick your favorite Hero and help get the win in Mobile Legends or grab your favorite assault rifle and lead the charge on Call of Duty Mobile!

What about Google Apps? We’ve talked about in detail before, but Google Apps are now available through GBox. And GBox is now integrated into AppGallery. 

Simply look for the Google app you need to install it! 

Need access to your files, download Google Drive. Have to send those files via email? Go ahead and get Gmail. Download GMeet to get your video calling needs done and wind down by watching your favorite videos on YouTube. 

Huawei nova 11 Pro

The HUAWEI nova 11 Pro is a midranger but already has that flagship flavoring.

The feel is elegant, the look is divine, and the capabilities are breathtaking. The cameras let you capture in great detail and the phone, as a whole, delivers a complete experience. 

It’s a smartphone that takes care of all your need and looks pretty darn good while doing it.
