The Huawei Nova 10 made its debut at IFA 2022, where the brand also presented the Pro version. This time we tested the standard version and, in general terms, we come to the conclusion that although it is a powerful team with a capable camera, it has some other points to improve.

How was our experience with this new team? We’ll tell you then.

Huawei Nova 10 Design

Elegance and delicacy are the words that define the model Huawei Starry Silver. Although there are two additional colors, Provence and Starry Night, Starry Silver stands out for its silver hue with a shiny effect, which also contrasts with the gold ring. Star Orbit that encapsulates the camera.

With their 168 grams and its dimensions of 162.18 mm x 73.91 mm x 6.88 mmthe equipment is thin and It is light to hold. The curved corners are comfortable when watching videos or playing games horizontally.

The back does not have a glass finish, so fingerprints or dust will not be a problem on this device. Touch it turns out pretty smooth, as if it were a piece of silk. However, it is precisely that detail that plays against it, because by slipping easily in the hands, the chances of it accidentally ending up on the floor are high.

Another drawback is the fact that do not have a 3.5mm headphone port. It is true that we are in full swing of wireless headphones; however, there are still users who opt for wired headphones, so not integrating an input for these is a bit disappointing.

Display and performance of the Huawei Nova 10

The team has a 6.67-inch curved OLED screen and one 120Hz refresh rate, which properly runs heavy games like PUBG. After 45 minutes into the game, the computer warmed up slightly but the temperature dropped rapidly at the end.

The sharpness of the images was maintained throughout the game and the frames did not freeze, making this an immersive experience. Ultimately, your processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 4G it performs quite well. Also, the sounds emitted through the stereo speakers were clear.

On the other hand, having a 300Hz touch sampling rate, the screen responded quickly when unlocking the phone with the fingerprint. In addition, the selfie camera is located in the central notch of the screen, so it does not interrupt the visual experience.

Huawei Nova 10 Battery

The Huawei Nova 10 battery is 4,000 mAh and has a 66 WW charger. We decided to put it to the test and it took 30 minutes to charge from 10% to 100%. At 8 minutes it reached 50% and at 15 minutes it had already reached 70%.

The duration of the equipment is also good, since it can spend 6 continuous hours of use without any inconvenience.

Huawei Nova 10 interface and user experience

The interface is simple but dynamic. A remarkable detail, with which other equipment on the market also haveis the separation between the notification bar and control panel, which is where the WiFi and Bluetooth buttons are. This allows the user to see, in an orderly way, the notifications of conversations or applications.

One factor to consider is that the team has its own app store called AppGallery, so if the user is used to using the Google Play Store and its applications, the change could be a bit shocking. To give an example, the YouTube interface is similar to opening the application in a web browser.

In addition, although some applications such as Gmail, Google Maps or Instagram can be downloaded to the device, the download process is provided by third parties.

games like Call of Duty They are also not available in the app store, so the team redirects to Apks web pages for download.

Despite this, it is a small detail that I think one could get used to.

While the standard camera and portrait mode capture objects well and enhance vivid colorsThe mode macro portrays objects and plants in lower quality. The quality is better when using the standard camera and opting to zoom when taking the picture.

As far as video is concerned, the integration of the modes ‘Vlog’ and ‘Content Creator’ They are very practical for those who are dedicated to creating content with mobile phones.

The first has four lenses that offer a multi-camera experience and allows simultaneous recording between the front and rear cameras. The mode ‘Picture in picture’ allows this combination, where the window can be dragged from one place on the screen to another. These features are great tools for those who don’t want to do post-production work after the recording is finished.

On the other hand, the way ‘Content creator’ It has default templates that serve the purpose of saving time when you want to record a quick vlog without a script in between. They even incorporate accompanying music.

The only observation is that the quality tends to drop a bit when using any of these features.

Conclusions

The Huawei Nova 10 It is an elegant equipment thanks to its modern design and delicate color. The camera is the protagonist thanks to the video options it includes and, without a doubt, it could be a great help for those who use a mobile device as a work tool.

However, the fact that the texture of the back is too smooth, to the point of slipping easily in the hands, makes it a somewhat fragile equipment. Another point that could not satisfy all its users is the lack of a 3.5 mm headphone port.

The truth is that the team is quite capable and complete, heading to continue climbing among the various mid-range models that exist in the market. In case you are considering buying it, the Huawei Nova 10 costs S/. 2,199.
