First Shots: Huawei Nova 3

The Nova’s Four Cam Setup Gets An Upgrade

Huawei was one of the first — if not the first — brand to jump from having just three cameras on a smartphone (dual rear cameras plus a selfie shooter) and have their mid-range winner of 2017 a total of four cameras. While this year’s Nova follows in the tradition of its predecessor, their budget flagship gets a bit of an upgrade by borrowing from its siblings in the P series and Mate series — a monochrome camera at 24-megapixels with an aperture of f/1.8 to go along with the main 16MP main rear camera.

While we haven’t had the device for very long, we’ve managed to take a couple of snaps to share with you guys to give you an idea what they’re capable of.

Nice, smooth bokeh from the front cameras. A bit on the cool side in terms of White Balance.

We’ll be taking more photos to show you guys what the cameras on the Nova 3 are really capable of and maybe even see how it stacks up against some of its competition in the market.
