All of them appear to the pretty good built quality, and the company has used high-quality material so that you can feel a great experience while holding the phone. If we have to choose anyone between them, we would pick the silver variant for the overall design. But, you can go with color preference according to your desire. Plus, the side panel is quite thin, and the phone only weighs 168 grams.

The 6.67-inch OLED panel brings a 10-bit color display that will handle the viewing experience thoroughly. Following this, the phone also supports HDR 10 support for better content quality and the UI navigation is enhanced through 120Hz refresh. Not to forget, the phone also has good decent brightness support for proper outdoor usage.

Memory and Internal

But if you want to use the standard version, you can choose the European variants that come with the EMUI 12 custom skin on the software end without any google play services available for the users. Anyway, the hardware section is slightly better.

Although, you are only getting 4G connectivity with the Snaapdargon 778G 4G chipset. It powers the whole system properly so that the users don’t have any problem performing their daily activities. Moreover, the processing power can go up to 4×2.4 GHz cloaking speed, which is more than sufficient to run all of your productive tasks. As for the visuals, you are getting the Adreno 642L GPU configuration.

Although, it might not great as a modern GPU, still, it’s more than enough to support advanced games. Though, you might notice less graphics-intensive aid. However, the additional performance support that comes from the 8GB RAM configuration is good. Besides this, the phone will also occupy 128GB to 256GB internal space, and as usual, no secondary space unit.

Camera

The camera performance of the Huawei Nova 10 smartphone is superb as you will receive a pretty good triple camera setup. It offers a 50MP primary lens that supports different modes and functions of the native camera app. With them, you can tweak the quality and capture the best moments of your life without any trouble.

Moving to a 60MP selfie lens, the details are superb in each shot with precise contrast control and decent color saturation to appeal to the user’s eyes. The skin tone is also accurate, you can tweak the beauty mode to enhance your overall looks. As for the video recording, both camera modules support up to 4K videos with gyro-EIS support.

Battery and Others

Finally, let’s talk about the battery life, initially, we were expecting that the phone got a slimmer body due to the lower battery size. And it’s coming true since you are getting a Li-Po 4000 mAh battery setup under the hood of the Huawei Nova 10. With this, an average of 5+ hours of screen time can be attained on the regular condition. However, if you use the phone at full power, it will reduce the screen time by half hour.

Anyway, gaming for a few hours is possible, whereas a 66W wired fast charging support will refuel the phone in less than an hour without any problem. Through that, you can enjoy doing your things, while the sound experience is also worth noting since it got stereo speaker support.

Therefore, making the final decision by comparing the alternative options would be a great choice.
