Samsung Galaxy A8s may have been the first smartphone to feature a punch-hole selfie camera, however, Huawei is not sitting ducks and has today launched the much-awaited Nova 4 in China. The Huawei Nova 4 is the second smartphone to include a punch-hole camera display, coupled with a flagship processor, triple cameras, and a lot more.
The Huawei Nova 4 features only a single RAM and storage configuration (8GB+128GB), but different primary camera lenses. Thus, the low-end variant with a 20MP primary lens has been priced at 3,099 yuan (roughly Rs 32,250) and the high-end 48MP variant would retail at 3,399 yuan (roughly Rs 35,400).
Right off the bat, I know you can see that Huawei Nova 4 looks like a P20 Pro-clone from the rear end with its triple camera array, fingerprint sensor placement, and the gradients. However, it is when you turn to the front, you will notice the main difference between the two.
Huawei Nova 4 sports a 6.4-inch Full-HD+ IPS LCD screen, with a display resolution of 2310×1080 pixels and 91.8 percent screen-to-body ratio. There’s no notch here instead, the smartphone includes a punch-hole for the selfie camera on the top left. The minimal top bezel here packs the earpiece, an ambient light sensor, and a triple-LED indicator for your notifications.
Speaking of the in-display selfie camera, Huawei on stage boasted that it has developed the industry’s smallest front camera module via the MOC process. It is a 25-megapixel (f/2.0) sensor and is just 3.05mm diameter in size, which is great. You’ll also find various AI beauty, portrait, night, HDR, time-lapse, AR and several other modes on this device.
There’s currently no word on when the Huawei Nova 4 will be launched in India, but we expect it to debut in the country in the first quarter of 2019. We will keep updating you with the latest updates, so stay tuned.
