Since Honor was separated from Huawei system, nova series has become the sales volume of Huawei brand mid-range mobile phones. The configuration is acceptable and the price is affordable. Nova has always left a good impression on me, so the nova series products are good for me. Huawei is particularly important now. It can be said that the nova series supports half of Huawei's mid-range market sales.
Huawei has released the latest nova series. Can nova 10 continue to maintain the good reputation established by the previous generation products among the user base? Letâs take a look at nova 10 Pro today.
one. Appearance
The new nova series also continues the previous design concept in terms of appearance color. This time nova 10 Pro has launched an exclusive color No. 10. The main color is silver with a frosted texture, making the back cover look like a fashionable technology belonging to the future. feel.
is paired with a camera module that also inherits the design concept of the previous generation's star ring, allowing the body to display more flexible and changeable colors under different light and shadow. But this camera module gives me the feeling of a step up, which makes playing games really difficult. It is not good to design for the sake of unique design and ignore the user experience.
After the logo position on the back cover has been processed, the word nova looks more three-dimensional and has a distinctive tone.
The weight and thickness of the whole machine are well controlled. The body weight is 194g and the body thickness is about 8mm. It is very friendly to both female and male users. The processing of
borders is a bit careless. Why do you say that? The transition between the back cover and the middle frame is so natural that you can hardly feel the edge. However, the transition between the front screen and the middle frame has an obvious cut-to-hand feeling, which is not as good as the back.
2. In terms of hardware
screen, nova 10 Pro uses a 120Hz OLED screen with a resolution of 2652x1200, supports 60/120Hz smart high brush, has P3 wide color gamut color management, and supports HDR Vivid high dynamic range video technology. In addition, it also supports dynamic superframe technology, which is very effective in actual games.
In terms of the overall look and feel, this screen is good, there is no color cast, and the saturation and contrast are also good. It does not look plain in color like some gaming phones in the same price range. The screen of this machine is slightly warm when I hold it in my hand. .
CPU and network due to well-known reasons, nova 10 Pro does not have 5G network, only 4G, and for some reasons it cannot use Dimensity 8100. It can only use Qualcomm Snapdragon 778, which is not very powerful. I can say that it is enough. As a mid-range machine, it is a bit regretful that it cannot use a better CPU. However, the performance in the game is not particularly outstanding, which can be regarded as remarkable.
Honor of Kings has an ultra-high resolution and an extremely high frame rate of and (120 frames). Except for the drop to around 100 when playing in a large group in Dragon Pit, it can basically be stabilized at more than 110 frames throughout the whole process (dynamic superframe is not turned on). You can say that Honor of Kings has been specially optimized for this machine. After all, other 870 and 888 machines cannot achieve such a stable frame rate.
Peace Elite has smooth picture quality, but the frame rate cannot be opened to 90 frames, only the limit of 60 frames, which affects the gaming experience. Of course, many 870 models do not have 90 frames, so we cannot ask too much for the 778 to reach the level of the 888. But life always gives us some surprises. After turning on Huawei's dynamic super-frame function, the frame rate of the picture is visibly increased to the naked eye, and should be close to 90 frames, but the picture will appear to be stuck or the frame rate cannot keep up. After turning on dynamic superframe, there will be a slight touch delay, which can be felt.
Genshin Impact is currently used as a touchstone for mobile phone performance and is a must-have. The 778 of the nova 10 Pro is somewhat insufficient. With a low-quality 60 frame setting, it can still run relatively smoothly when fighting monsters, but the frame rate will definitely not reach 60. After turning on dynamic superframe, the frame rate does not increase significantly, and the touch delay increases slightly.When the image quality is adjusted to the highest frame rate setting of 60, there is obvious lag when fighting big monsters, which has greatly affected the game experience. Turning on the super frame rate has no obvious effect.
This time, the nova 10 Pro has a 100W super fast charge and a Turbo charging mode. During the actual charging process, I turned on the Turbo charging mode, and it took 18 minutes to recharge from 21% to 100%. It was really fast and convenient. It was fully charged every morning while I was washing up, so my brothers and sisters could be worry-free when they were squatting. I was worried about playing with my cell phone. But logically speaking, Turbo charging should have an impact on battery life, but such a refreshing charging speed is very addictive. And if the charging screen saver can always display the screen, watching the charging animation should be very relaxing and enjoyable. Ha ha.
Regarding the speakers, it is said to be the strongest stereo field in nova. The entire series comes standard with an 80-degree ultra-wide stereo field, making the sound immersive. But in terms of practical experience, it is really average. Donât expect too much. It may be due to the thickness of the model and the small size of the cavity and speakers, which results in the sound being dry and the sound separation is not good enough. It sounds lumpy. lumpy. In terms of sound quality, it is far less good than the S15 PRO.
three. Photo camera
This time, the rear camera of nova 10 Pro is equipped with a RYYB sensor with a size of 1/1.56 inches and 50 million pixels. Let me give you a brief explanation about RYYB. Huawei replaces two green pixels (G) with two yellow pixels (Y) to form a RYYB sensor. It can significantly reduce the problem of light loss and increase the amount of light input by 40%. It can be used in dark scenes. It captures a lot of details at low temperatures, achieving an imaging effect âcomparable to night vision devicesâ. It is worth mentioning that the RYYB super-sensing lens was only used on the Huawei P series before. It is also equipped with an 800W ultra-wide-angle macro lens that supports autofocus and recently supports 2cm macro shooting; there is also a portrait blur depth-of-field lens.
However, judging from the night scene sample above, the mid-range level of a mid-range machine is a bit disappointing when zoomed in. Whether it is in terms of color performance or clarity, there is still room for improvement. Itâs okay to use it to record life, but if you want to retain the beauty, you may only be able to do it during the day.
Judging from the sample of a well-lit scene, the color is accurate and the image quality is clear. Compared with the night scene or dark light, it is obvious that such a sample is more eye-catching.
Another point is that the image quality at the telephoto end of nova10 Pro is a bit mediocre, and there is not much that stands out. Moreover, the focal length at the telephoto end is a bit worrying. Although it is called telephoto, it doesn't seem to be long enough.
nova 10 Proâs front-facing shooting capabilities have been greatly improved. The front-facing camera consists of two lenses, one of which is a 1/2.61-inch 60 million 100-degree ultra-wide-angle lens that supports 4K image quality and autofocus. The other is a portrait lens with 2x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom. From the analysis of the camera module configuration, the front-facing 60-megapixel main camera has a QPD full-pixel focusing function. In addition to making focusing more accurate, focusing in dark field situations is no longer a problem.
The front camera has a relatively high degree of freedom in beauty adjustment, and whether it is the telephoto end or the standard ultra-wide angle, the focusing speed is still relatively fast under good light conditions. The ultra-wide-angle beauty imaging is still remarkable. At least the photo of Brother Duo looks very handsome.
four. Summary
In fact, from the perspective of comprehensive capabilities, the starting price of 3699 for nova 10 Pro is really not competitive. Nova 10 can still be purchased. After all, the starting price of 2699 is still somewhat sincere. Although the front lens has become one, But how many people would mind? After all, the price difference is so expensive that it hurts to fall in love with it. Of course, all of this has a premise, that is, you can accept not having a 5G network, or having to change your phone after one or two years. After combining various configurations of this machine, it may be more suitable for young women who do not play large-scale games and like to take various selfies.After all, nova is an entry-level bucket machine developed for the needs of young people. Grasping and solving customer pain points is the key to the success of a mobile phone.
