The Huawei nova 3 was launched in August 2018 as a stylish upper mid-range smartphone with premium features. Built with a slim 7.3mm glass and aluminum frame design, it weighed just 166g, offering both elegance and comfort in hand. Its 6.3-inch Full HD+ display with an 84.2% screen-to-body ratio provided an immersive experience for entertainment, gaming, and everyday use.
Powered by the flagship-grade Kirin 970 processor, the Huawei nova 3 delivered impressive performance for its class. It featured dual rear and dual front cameras, 6GB of RAM options, expandable storage, and ran on Android 8.1 Oreo, later upgradable to Android 9.0 Pie with EMUI 9.1. With a 3750mAh battery and 18W fast charging, it balanced power with efficiency, making it one of Huawei’s strongest entries in the nova lineup.
