Huawei launched the Nova 12 lineup in late December 2023, which consists of three new phones, the most prominent of which is the Huawei nova 12 Pro, which is considered one of the best phones in the mid-range category. While the price category of the phone suggests that it is a traditional phone in the middle category, its specifications and features suggest that it is closer to the middle category, due to its wonderful screen, powerful internal hardware, good rear camera, and fast charging, so what should we know about this wonderful phone?
Here are the specifications and price of the Huawei nova 12 Pro, all its advantages and disadvantages, and a comprehensive user guide for everything related to the entire phone, in addition to a comprehensive review of the Huawei Nova phone, which is considered among the best in the mid-range category for the year 2023, and this comes after we had the opportunity to spend several days with the phone and experience it in detail. Comprehensive, expansive, and sound opinion that allows us to give you our final opinion on whether the phone is worth buying or not.
We start from the back panel of the phone, in which we get a stunning design with a dual camera module at the back. Besides, the company has also released the Huawei nova 12 Pro in various color options so that users can choose the best option according to their color preferences. We have white, black, blue and pink options that look professional and elegant.
The phone has a unique design that gives the user a great grip experience. As for the quality of materials, the phone is largely identical to another phone in the same series Huawei Nova 12Except you get an extra touch of shine. The power button and volume rockers are placed within finger reach, while one-handed use of the phone is also possible.
Moving to the display, we have the 6.76-inch OLED display that is seen on the standard phone. However, you will get great FHD+ support that will enhance the overall user experience and give immersive colors also thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate. Although there is hardly any information about the type of glass layer that protects the screen. However, it is good to see that the company offers a maximum peak brightness of 2,000 nits.
The software department has received the HarmonyOS 4.0 operating system, while there are a lot of amazing tweaks to customize the interface and give it a personal touch. You can modify the interface layout to your liking by adding gestures, widgets and functions for your daily use. Besides, we have some fun features for you to explore. Apart from this, you will notice a few bloatware apps here and there.
In terms of performance, the Kirin 8000 chipset is among the best the current smartphone has to offer. With this setup, you can try different things, like gaming and you can also count on multitasking and using social media apps. Moreover, you will get a flawless gaming session with the help of the GPU, which gives you great support for graphics and visuals while gaming.
In general, this internal setup will provide a leading performance experience, especially with 12 GB RAM options, along with internal storage space starting from 256 GB and up to 512 GB, and without the ability to expand it by installing an external memory card since you will not need that in the first place. .
The Huawei nova 12 Pro smartphone has a dual rear camera led by a 50-megapixel primary lens. Here we have a better aperture for the primary rear camera, so the sensor can absorb more colors and contrast to deliver detailed photos and videos without any problem. Furthermore, the primary lens offers optical image stabilization to capture images with less distortion and fine details in every shot. And let's not forget that daytime photos also look great.
Night mode enhances colors and delivers clear details with adequate noise reduction support. The AI software offers several perks under the hood that will improve the camera's results somewhat. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that the company offers a built-in camera app that offers various photography and video editing features.
With this, you can capture what you want without any hassle. In addition, the phone also offers an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, with which you can shoot video at up to 4K resolution with a variety of recording features. Apart from this, the 60MP dual camera is also capable of clicking great photos and recording 4K video.
Last but not least, the device comes with a 4600 mAh lithium polymer battery that will provide a long time for daily use. You can expect up to 6+ hours of screen time in normal usage situations. In addition, you can play games for more than four hours. Even after that, approximately 20% of battery life will remain. Apart from this, the phone can recharge the battery through 100W fast wired charging, which requires 18 minutes to refill the battery from 0 to 100%.
The price of Huawei nova 12 Pro is as follows, but before that you can get to know the phone more here:
After trying almost everything in the phone, we came to the conclusion that the Huawei nova 12 Pro is a good option in this price category. It is packed with many features, most notably a gorgeous display with saturated colors, powerful processing power, next-level graphics support, decent camera results, and many more perks that are difficult to find in this category. It is one of the few phones that offers a perfect front camera. Overall, you could seriously consider this phone if it's released outside of China, although I personally think the pricing is a bit steep for a phone that comes with a very ordinary rear camera, doesn't support wireless charging, and doesn't support 5G networks.
