The Huawei nova 2s was launched in December 2017 as a premium mid-range smartphone that blended performance with style. With its 6.0-inch FHD+ display, slim 7.5 mm profile, and glass-aluminum build, the device offered a flagship-like design at a more affordable price. Weighing just 169 g, it was lightweight yet durable, making it an attractive option for users who wanted both looks and performance.
Powered by the Kirin 960 processor paired with up to 6 GB RAM, the nova 2s delivered smooth multitasking and gaming experiences. The phone also stood out with its quad-camera system — dual cameras on both the front and back — enabling versatile photography. Its 3340 mAh battery, NFC support, and USB Type-C made it a competitive device in its category.
