MANILA -- Huawei on Monday launched the Nova 7 SE 5G in the Philippines, the first mid-range device to offer the next-generation wireless standard in the country.
The latest in the Nova series, which offers features comparable to premium phones at half the cost, has a 6.5-inch screen in a glass body. It also comes with 4 rear cameras.
The new Nova is the first mid-level phone in the Philippines with 5G, said Huawei country head George Li. Huawei also offers 5G on the premium variant of the Mate 30 Pro and the P40 series.
"5G is not just about connecting things, it's about connecting intelligence," said Merouanne Debbah, Director of the Huawei Mathematical and Algorithmic Sciences Lab.
Using 5G, artificial intelligence in Huawei phones harnesses voice and image recognition, said Debbah.
The cameras on the Nova 7 5G are stacked in a rectangle-shaped vertical module. It has a 64MP wide lens, an 8MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens. The 16MP front facing camera has noise reduction and night mode for selfies.
The Nova 7 5G is powered by Huawei's own Kirin 820 chip and packs a 4,000 mAh battery than can charge at 40 watts. Huawei said the phone can juice up to 70 percent in 30 minutes.
It will retail for P19,990. Pre-order customers from June 12 to 21 will get Freelace Bluetooth earbuds and cloud storage.
