The Huawei Nova and Nova Plus feature rather different designs, but both are built out of aircraft-grade aluminium, and both feature fingerprint sensors on the rear panel. While the Nova looks a little like the Huawei P9, the Nova Plus looks a little like the Huawei Mate S or the Huawei G9 Plus. Both will be available in Titanium Grey, Mystic Silver, and Prestige Gold variants.

The hybrid dual-SIM Nova runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow with the company's EMUI 4.1 skin atop. It sports a 5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) IPS LCD display, and is powered by a 2GHz octa-core Snapdragon 625 SoC coupled with 3GB of RAM.

The Huawei Nova Plus (seen above) is said to be the international variant of the Huawei G9 Plus. It sports nearly identical specifications as the Nova, with some significant differences. The smartphone bears a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) IPS display, a 16-megapixel rear camera complete with OIS, as well as 4000mAh battery.
