3.6/5

Huawei Nova 8 Pro 4G is the much-awaited upgrade to the base-level Nova 8 series of smartphones that is available at a relatively affordable price. It features a solid plastic body and frame to ensure that the device remains protected from damage and scratches for longer. This also helps keep the weight down, despite the large size display. Unfortunately, they have used a very small sized battery to power this large display, which makes it a bit of an issue. Since it is an OLED panel, it also takes a lot more energy to power than conventional IPS displays. Thankfully, the viewing experience more than makes it up for it.

Bottom Line

Huawei Nova 8 Pro 4G is a nice and affordable mid-range smartphone that is unfortunately limited to 4G connectivity only. It still gets a powerful processor, vibrant display and very usable cameras. The only thing missing is wireless charging.
