Today's smartphones have gradually got rid of the attributes of a single communication device and become a fashion symbol for younger users. Compared to the already stable high-end mobile phone market, the performance of mid-range products has become the brand's 'barometer'. For mobile phone users in the price range of 2,000 to 2,500 yuan, most of the users are young people who represent the characteristics of vitality and fashion. For Huawei, which is now the first spot in China’s smart phones, this part of the users Very important.
As we all know, Huawei launched a new nova series in October 2016, focusing on the young people group, positioning the trend of light flagship, so far the shipments have surrendered the outstanding transcripts with cumulative shipments of more than 40 million. And nova represents 'Innovation The spirit of '(innovation) also reflects Huawei's understanding of nova users.
Huawei Nova has been launched for two years since it was released in 16 years. Before the release of nova3, Huawei replaced the global spokesperson with one of the TFBOYS, indicating that Huawei has completed its initial accumulation in the past two years. Huawei nova3 also continues the previous product style, further enhancing the fashion, the trend of the elements. So on Huawei nova3, we can see Huawei's features for young users to further upgrade, more sophisticated ID design, poster level of 24 million pixels Front dual camera, and game god skills GPU Turbo.
Classic double sided glass + avant-garde color scheme
In this era of justice is the era of justice, as a product for young people, the first look directly determines whether this product can impress users. Huawei nova3 uses a classic double-sided glass design, and in the color matching More avant-garde primrose gold, blue sable, light blue and classic bright black. In today's mobile phone ID design is more symmetrical, Huawei nova3 more bold color highlights the trend of young people and preferences.
Constantly increasing the screen ratio has always been a trend in the evolution of mobile phone screens. A larger screen ratio can bring more content on the screen when the size of the mobile phone is unchanged. Huawei nova3 uses a 6.3-inch 19.5:9 notch. The full screen, the screen ratio is 83.04%. And Huawei nova3 also further narrows the width of the fuselage 'chin', the size of the body becomes almost the same while the screen size is almost unchanged, bringing more display content.
In addition, the color of all the color matching screen panel borders of Huawei nova3 is adjusted to black, ensuring the 'zero color difference' with the screen in the off-screen state, bringing the so-called interest level aesthetics. And the curve arc of the four corners of the screen and the curvature of the R angle of the frame. Consistent, visually have a smoother experience.
At the top of the fuselage, Huawei nova3 front equipped with 24 million + 2 million pixels dual camera, claimed to be able to bring 'poster-level' pre-self-timer effect. And Huawei nova3 also uses the ultimate symmetrical design ideas, the two cameras are adjusted to The design is uniform in size and adopts a completely symmetrical left and right arrangement.
The back of the nova3's fuselage adopts this year's more popular horizontal design, vertical double shot, vertical printed 'AI CAMERA' and the 'HUAWEI' logo printed vertically on the bottom of the fuselage. There is a card-like feeling. In addition, Huawei nova3 upgrades the back glass to hyperbolic 3D glass on the basis of the previous generation of 2.5D glass, making the body shape more three-dimensional.
In order to give the user a better grip, Huawei nova3 is positioned close to the curvature of the hand holding the curvature. The sides of the back cover are 2.35mm and the thickness of the middle frame is only 3.55mm thick, which creates a comfortable holding curvature and extremely fiber. A thin visual experience, and the weight of the whole machine 165g is not heavy at all.
Poster level pre-shot
Taking pictures has always been the gene of nova products. For the younger users, self-timer is undoubtedly one of the most important functions in mobile phones. The Huawei nova3 has a lot of improvement in self-timer. As the first in the Huawei nova series, it adopts the front-end. Dual-camera products, Huawei nova3 is equipped with 24 million + 2 million pixels. Among them is responsible for imaging 24 million cameras, another 2 million wide-spectrum camera is responsible for collecting depth of field information, Huawei nova3 can directly output 24 million pixel HD blockbuster, and Each pixel is true photo-generated. The photo can support 24-inch photo printing (calculated according to 300PPI accuracy) or 1.5*2m huge inkjet poster (poster is calculated according to 72PPI accuracy). Therefore, Huawei nova3 dares to claim It is a pre-self-timer that shoots a poster level.
On the other hand, thanks to the independent built-in NPU processor of Kirin 970, Huawei nova3 can automatically identify the subject and environment objects in the self-timer in real time, and optimize them separately. AI can automatically identify different scenes and target Sexual scene processing. In this part of the article, let's take a look at how Huawei nova3 performs in terms of self-timer.
You can see through the self-timer proofs that Huawei nova3 is more natural for the user's beauty, whitening and softening of the skin tone, and can also replenish skin details after smoothing the skin, without any other beauty, taking a 'false face' The general feeling. And it can be clearly seen that for different users of men and women, there are also different levels of beauty effects.
In addition, Huawei nova3 also considers different self-timer scenes, bringing the 'what you see is what you get' backlit HDR Pro on your mobile phone for the first time. You can preview the camera interface on the screen in real time by turning on the HDR Pro button on your phone.

▲Open HDR Pro
Nova 3 relies on intelligent exposure strategy and dynamic multi-spot metering to accurately control the exposure time of each row of pixels, enabling native high dynamic range rendering at the sensor level to brighten the overall ambient light and enhance darkness. The details are processed. By comparing the sample close and open, you can see that nova3 has a significant suppression of the highlights and corrections to the user.
In terms of self-timer, in addition to improving the basic 'shooting' level, Huawei nova3 also brings a wealth of self-timer gameplay. By detecting front-mounted dual-shot detection of user facial information, bringing 3D emoticons or video sharing on social platforms.
It is worth mentioning that Huawei's nova3 also adds a wide-screen camera mode similar to the movie mode, which pulls the photo to a width of 21:9, with two black edges left and right, and there is a big sensation in an instant.
In terms of the main camera, Huawei nova3 uses 24 million black and white + 16 million color dual-lens lens, double f1.8 aperture. How to perform, we see proofs.
In the case of sufficient light, Huawei nova3's shooting effect is quite satisfactory, the picture brightness is good, the resolution of 24 million pixels is also quite good. And it is worth mentioning that, thanks to the AI of the NPU in Kirin 970 Algorithm, nova3's photo is still a thick 'Huawei style', the color saturation is high, has a strong perception, and the transparency of the picture is also good.
In the night when the light is insufficient, Huawei nova3 also performs well, the picture brightness is good, and the noise control of the picture is also OK, but the control performance of the glare part is generally, slightly affecting the look and feel of the picture.
Overall, Huawei's nova3 camera is satisfactory, the front camera's performance is impressive, high pixels retain more detail, and a more intelligent algorithm is combined to enable a styled self-portrait in a variety of scenarios. And the added HDR Pro function solves the problem of dark light and back light, which is more complicated in light, and a variety of gameplays are also attractive to young users.
GPU Turbo test
After Huawei released the GPU Turbo, a scary technology in June, all of Huawei's mobile phones became 'game phones' overnight. In principle, in order to achieve the ultimate performance of GPU Turbo, Huawei is almost all in the mobile phone system architecture. The parts are optimized. First, the basic register section is deepened, and the data transmission mode is optimized. Through the depth adjustment, the data transmission between registers is extremely low, which greatly affects the efficiency. Secondly, OpenGL, etc. The driver level, Graphic and other middleware and the upper frame layer are also undergoing major surgery, and the corresponding optimization and modification are made to ensure more efficient graphics calculation and processing.
Unlike pure hardware upgrades, GPU Turbo is a hard and soft collaborative solution. While maintaining the hardware, users only need to upgrade the system to get a significant improvement in the gaming experience. The learning cost for the user is almost zero. And Huawei nova3 is also pre-installed with GPU Turbo. We also tested.
Test Game: "Jesus Survival: Stimulate the Battlefield"
Test environment: Room temperature 25.5 °C, the mobile phone uses the data cable to connect to the computer, and the game background data is automatically recorded on the computer side with Gamebench. The brightness of the screen is automatic brightness, turn off the sound. Mobile version number: 8.1.0.150. "Jesus Survival: Stimulate the Battlefield" version The number is 0.8.6.
Game settings: The picture quality is HDR HD (current maximum), the number of frames is set to super high (up to 40FPS), picture style: classic, anti-aliasing on, shadow on.
It can be seen that the game is basically stable throughout the game, there is almost no large frame rate fluctuation, the stability of the overall game process is still relatively good, but perhaps because of the engineering machine, the average game frame rate of the entire game is 32FPS. Compared with the performance of the Huawei P20 Pro, which we have previously upgraded the GPU Turbo, it is almost inferior. But after the official version, this problem should be solved.
Test Game: "Glory of the King"
Test environment: Room temperature 25.5 °C, the mobile phone uses the data cable to connect to the computer, and the Gameb automatically records the game background data on the computer side. The brightness of the screen is automatic brightness, turn off the sound. The King of Glory test game version number: 1.35.1.10;
Game quality: Open character stroke, high picture quality, high definition display, multi-thread mode, high particle quality, high frame rate mode enabled;
Our performance in eating chickens has almost the same verification results in the king's glory. The whole game is very stable at around 55FPS, the game frame rate curve is stable, almost no fluctuation, but compared to the already upgraded GPU Turbo Huawei's other products almost full frame performance, 55FPS results, still have to continue to improve in the official version of the factory.
Face recognition experience In addition, nova3 is also equipped with ambient light + low beam sensor, which can automatically detect ambient light and is equipped with. In bright environment, front double camera recognizes face unlock. In dark and dull environment, 2 million The wide-spectrum camera is unlocked with infrared light. In order to take care of the unlocking effect under dark light, nova3 also adds and modifies the coating for this lens, allowing infrared light to pass through. In practical applications, nova3 does have a very fast unlock. speed.
It is worth mentioning that Huawei nova3 supports Alipay's face payment function, which is very convenient. In terms of security. When Huawei nova3 pays, the face data stored in the quarantine area is called out and compared with the collected information. Since the depth data of the face can be captured, the chip can quickly unlock the depth data and quickly unlock it. Accurately identify two-dimensional simulation images such as paper, cell phone photos, video photos or silicone masks for greater security.
Evaluation summary:
After two years of accumulation in the nova series, Huawei has gradually become familiar with how to do what young people want. From the product level, HUAWEI nova3 is a very mature work, whether it is design, hardware configuration or functional features. The current mainstream level, coupled with fashion, youth, entertainment and other labels, as well as Huawei's sinking in the channel, this mobile phone is bound to achieve good sales in the traditional market.
