Huawei launches quad-camera Nova 3, Nova 3i
The Nova 3i is now available for P15,990 while the Nova 3 will hit stores soon at the starting price of P25,990

MANILA, Philippines – Huawei on Saturday, July 28, pulled the curtain on the latest additions to the Nova family with the unveiling of a new pair of mid-range quad-camera smartphones – the Nova 3 and the Nova 3i.

Whereas Huawei’s P series is known for its photo-taking capabilities, the Nova brand, first launched in 2016, is Huawei’s push to capture what they described as the “social” and “dynamic” youth of today. The third generation of Nova devices tout “trendy” features that are said to attract Filipino millennials.

Internally, it’s powered by the newly introduced Kirin 710, 4GB RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 3340 mAh battery. It runs on Huawei’s own Android skin, EMUI 8.2 and ships with GPU Turbo, a proprietary feature that supposedly boosts the device’s gameplay performance.
