Huawei Nova design and build quality
The first thing you need to know about the Huawei Nova is that – from the rear – this looks almost exactly like a Nexus 6P. It doesn't say Nexus, but the aesthetic differences basically end there.
However, unlike the 5.7-inch Nexus 6P, the Nova comes in at a diminutive 5 inches. Thanks to well-optimized display proportions – a 76 percent screen-to-body ratio – this phone really feels like a small handset.
And that's to its credit. Huawei does phablets very well but it's nice to see it tackle smaller handsets with similar flair. Huawei has managed to pack what feels like a large display onto a small frame; it's an accomplished piece of work.
The Nova is thin too, at 7.1 mm deep. While I may not have been wowed by an inventive new design, I was wowed by the screen and battery (more on that later) that has been packed into this handset. It was a good first impression.
As for the Nova Plus, this looks largely the same as the Nova from the front, but the device takes a different approach on the rear, with a square camera sensor in the center of the device, unlike the position at the top left in the visor of the Nova. The Nova Plus is a 5.5-inch device which doesn't feel unwieldy and looks the part thanks to its chamfered edges and glass and metal design.
The aesthetics of these phones do justice to the Huawei name.
