“Huawei engineers did a great job on camera algorithms” – Kommersant FM

Browser “Kommersant FM” Alexander Levy talks about the merits of new items from Huawei.

The flagship novelty of the Huawei Nova family came out very noticeable. As one of the color options for the model 11 Pro, the developers have chosen a rich green. This color will definitely highlight the smartphone among others. In addition, attention will be drawn to the material that the designers have chosen for the heel. This is the so-called eco-leather with a blind embossing of the Nova logo on the entire surface.

Huawei claims that the 11 Pro is the industry’s first smartphone with this type of coverage. The company can indeed be congratulated on this discovery. The tactile sensations are pleasant, and the practical properties are top notch.

But there is a remark about the color. In the course of testing the novelty, I could not get rid of a strong association with the color of urban fences and garages. The shade turned out to be too simple, something more noble would be more appropriate. The case of Nova 11 Pro came out thin, comfortable and noticeably light for its size.

If we move away from taste to assessing the characteristics of a smartphone, then everything is fine, even despite the history of the Snapdragon 778G processor in three generations of the Huawei Nova family. Probably, in previous iterations, it has proven itself as a chipset with a margin.

In any case, the user most often looks at the screen, and not at the performance of synthetic tests. The picture on the side-curved OLED display with a diagonal of 6.8 inches and a frequency of 120 Hz looks and feels great, and is also protected by Kunlun Glass tempered glass. Not without fear, I threw the smartphone on the floor made of different materials several times, by the end of the tests I was more worried about the coatings themselves.

Huawei engineers also did a great job on the Nova 11 Pro’s camera algorithms. Both the main one and especially the front one do their job well. It can be seen that the creators are counting on an audience of users that produces photo and video content. They will even unobtrusively prompt you and show you a special “Videoblog” mode.

Regular and prolonged recording will rapidly consume battery power. In this case, it comes with a 100W fast charger. A thing with such indicators is rare and at the same time necessary for a modern smartphone.
