Huawei Nova 13 and 13 Pro Smartphones Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
At first impression, anyone can tell that the company hasn’t added any new perks or specs, except a few upgrades in camera and battery. The rest of the attributes of the Huawei Nova 13 series are pretty much similar to the Huawei Nova 12 series. But what set that apart would be the pricing, which is comparatively less than the Nova 12 series phone launch price. Moreover, both Huawei Nova 13 and 13 Pro are pretty solid phones with a few flaws here and there, which can be overlooked. But if you are looking for a top-notch performance with a clean user interface experience, they might not be the right choice for you.

HUAWEI nova 13 Pro
Source: Yugatech English
I just found out that this device does not support 5G connectivity. There is also the issue of having tons of ads on its dedicated browser and no I Prating. In other words, users may want to keep it away from water. Suffice it to say, this device has its pros and cons. Honestly, I feel like it has a lot of potential. As usual, there are users who value things like performance and connectivity. The 13 Pro is a bit flat in some areas, making it difficult to justify the mid-range pricing. Finally, users still value style, optics, and battery. I believe that those who value style, optics, and battery will still find this device worth the price. What do you think about the HUAWEI n o va 1 3 Pro? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
