Huawei has launched the Nova 13 and Nova 13 Pro in France, both priced under 700 euros and featuring impressive specifications that challenge high-end smartphones. The Nova 13 starts at 549 euros, while the Pro is 699 euros, showcasing significant upgrades in display, photography, and design. Powered likely by the Kirin 8000 chipset with 5G support, both devices run EMUI without Google services. The Nova 13 Pro is highlighted for its stylish design and sturdy build quality, particularly in its unique green version.
Huawei Introduces the Nova 13 and Nova 13 Pro in France
Huawei has officially unveiled two exciting new additions to its smartphone lineup in France: the Nova 13 and Nova 13 Pro. Priced under 700 euros, these models boast impressive technical specifications that rival those of high-end devices. After testing these smartphones, we found ourselves questioning the need for the Play Store. Let’s dive into the details!
Affordable Yet Powerful Mid-Range Options
Alongside the launch of the Mate X6, which marks Huawei’s venture into the folding smartphone market outside of China, the brand also introduced the Nova 13 and Nova 13 Pro. These models serve as successors to the Nova 12s, offering a more affordable option without compromising on ambition. The Nova 13 is priced at 549 euros, while the Nova 13 Pro comes in at 699 euros. The price difference reflects significant upgrades in specifications across various aspects, including display, photography, audio quality, and design.
Both smartphones are equipped with a platform that is likely powered by the Kirin 8000 chipset, featuring 5G compatibility. While Huawei has not confirmed the exact details of the components, the performance promises to be solid. It’s also worth noting that both devices come pre-installed with EMUI, as HarmonyOS Next remains exclusive to the Chinese market for now. EMUI operates without Google’s services but includes Aurora Store, an alternative platform that allows access to a wide range of applications.
When it comes to build quality, the Nova 13 Pro stands out as a budget-friendly yet high-end option. Its design features a mineral glass back that resists fingerprints, complemented by an elegant aluminum frame. During our initial trials, the device felt robust and visually appealing, particularly the green variant with its unique pattern. The vertical camera module is positioned on the side, giving it a sleek appearance while raising some concerns about balance. We are eager to conduct further tests on the Nova 13 Pro to explore its full potential.
