The Huawei Nova 7 series devices do share certain similarities. All models comes with 5G connectivity, 8GB of RAM, a 64MP main camera sensor, as well as a 4,000mAh battery with 40W Quick Charge support. The main difference between these phones is the processor. The Nova 7 SE runs on a Kirin 820 chipset, while the Nova 7 and Nova 7 Pro will have the Kirin 985 chipset.
Nova 7 Pro
The Nova 7 Pro is the highest-tiered device among the three, sporting a dual-curved 6.57-inch OLED display with Full HD+ resolution. You will also find a dual front camera setup, consisting of a 32MP and 8MP selfie camera sensor.
On the rear, you’re getting a quad-camera system that is headlined with a 64MP main sensor, 8MP ultra-wide sensor, 8MP periscope sensor (capable of 5x optical zoom), and a 2MP macro sensor. The device is also paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage.
Nova 7
Moving on to the middle child, the Nova 7 has a tad bit smaller FHD+ display at 6.53-inches with a single keyhole notch that houses a 32MP selfie camera. On the rear, its 8MP periscope sensor has been exchanged for an 8MP telephoto sensor instead.
Nova 7 SE
Not to be confused with the Nova 7i, the “youngest” of the bunch, the Nova 7 SE has a 6.5-inch IPS display with a 16MP selfie sensor housed in the top left punch hole notch. For its rear camera system, it still has a 64MP main camera sensor, but the rest is an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor.
