Huawei Nova 13 series launched with new design, AI features, upgraded camera, and more

Huawei today launched the Nova 13 series smartphones with a unique interweaving design and fascinating features. The device brings some useful upgrades over its predecessors such as new camera capabilities, performance boost, and more.

So without any delays, let’s explore the key features and specs of the Huawei Nova 13 Series.

Design

Both models have an interwoven pattern on the back and come in four colors: Loden Green, Feather Sand Purple, Feather Sand White, and Starry Black.

Loden Green is the main color of the Nova 13 series. Huawei has used a new spatial grid glass for the back panel, crafted with micro-nano-level 3D lithography tech and micro-crystal feather yarn technology. It also has skin-friendly, stain-resistant, and scratch-resistant properties.

Standard Nova 13: The device reminds us of the Nova 12 but in a more good-looking avatar. It has the same big star ring lens in a pill-shaped frame with two openings below. One of them is the macro sensor while the other one is a flash.

Front Part: Standard Nova 12 has a single punch-hole design on the face and the thinnest bezels. It has a flat display with equal depth capability.

Nova 12 Pro: This is where the new look lies! Huawei has adopted a new camera module which is slightly extra elongated than its predecessors. Simply put, the pill-shaped camera bump is thinner and longer than before. Also, the lens arrangement has changed significantly, showing three lenses.

Front part: Unlike the standard variant, the Nova 13 Pro uses has a pill cutout on the top with two holes. The phone has two front-facing cameras for impressive portraits in one go.
