The Huawei nova 11 Pro 256GB is Huawei Test's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.78 inches, 111.4 cm2 (~91.1% 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 1,799.
The Huawei nova 11 Pro 256GB excels with its 100W wired charging, replenishing 50% in 15 minutes, and a 120Hz OLED display with 1B colors for buttery, vivid visuals. Its 188g weight makes it one of the lightest premium-feel phones in its class. Ideal for urban commuters who need all-day battery endurance (89h rating) and rapid top-ups without carrying a charger, especially those who rely on NFC for contactless payments in Dubai or Delhi. The Snapdragon 778G 4G limits it to LTE, excluding 5G—a critical flaw for future-proofing in markets like India where 5G rollout accelerates. In UAE at AED 1799, it’s competitive because no other phone under AED 2000 offers 100W charging and a 120Hz OLED panel. In India, where pricing is unavailable but likely above ₹25,000, it’s not recommended due to the absence of 5G and HarmonyOS’s limited app ecosystem compared to Android.
