Huawei is continuing to offer new models in Canada, most notable is the recently launched Huawei Nova Plus which is coming to Rogers, Virgin Mobile and Fido.

Specs-wise, the Huawei Nova Plus has an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of of expandable storage via a microSD card.

This is a larger device with a 5.5-inch display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution. The camera department consists of a 16-megapixel shooter with OIS (optical image stabilization) and 4K video recording. An 8-megapixel front camera is ideal for video messaging and front-facing photos.

The battery is a hardy 3,340 mAh which has USB fast charging on tap. 

“We are pleased to have Rogers, Virgin Mobile and Fido carrying the new Huawei NOVA Plus,” said Huawei Canada President Sean Yang. “We continue to see a growing demand for Huawei smartphones in Canada and we are confident the new NOVA Plus will bring Canadians the same high quality features and stylish design that have helped make Huawei one of the world’s most popular smartphone brands.”

Featuring a sleek design, a vivid camera and performance updates for enhanced usability, the Huawei NOVA Plus runs on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow). The NOVA Plus comes with a category-leading 16 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization, and allows users to capture the perfect selfie or take thousands of shots on a single charge.

The device’s ultra-thin industrial design features a curved section of 2.5D glass, which improves scratch resistance, delivers improved touch-screen response and gives the device a refined look. The Huawei NOVA Plus also features a next-gen 3D fingerprint sensor for improved security and convenience. Pricing is expected to be around $400 of contract. The Huawei NOVA Plus brings some of the design and build quality seen in last year's Nexus 6P with a slimmer profile.
