The Huawei nova 11 128GB is Huawei Test's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.7 inches, 110.5 cm2 (~91.4% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM7325 Snapdragon 778G 4G (6 nm) chipset. It comes with a 4500 mAh battery. Available in the UAE from AED 799.
The Huawei nova 11 128GB excels with its 66W wired charging, replenishing the 4500mAh battery in 31 minutes, and its 120Hz OLED display delivering smooth motion with 1B color depth and HDR10 support. The 50MP main sensor with PDAF captures sharp, well-lit images even in low light. Ideal for urban commuters in Dubai or Delhi who need all-day battery life without waiting, and prioritize fast charging over brand ecosystem, this phone fits perfectly. Its weakness is the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset—capable for daily tasks but struggles under sustained gaming load, causing thermal throttling after 15 minutes of intensive use. In UAE at AED 799, it’s competitive because no other 5G phone under AED 800 offers 66W charging and a 120Hz OLED screen. In India at ₹N/A, it’s unrecommended due to absence of Google Mobile Services, rendering apps like WhatsApp, Maps, and YouTube reliant on third-party workarounds that compromise usability and security.
