It rocks a Kirin 990 chipset and it even provides a pretty nice camera experience thanks to a 40 MP triple camera including OIS and 3x optical zoom. You get even an amazing dual front camera considered the best selfie setup ever by DxOMark. The handset even sports a big 4200 mAh battery with a very fast charging technology reaching a 40W power. Android 10 is preinstalled and there is even a punch-hole display with very narrow bezels.

Honor V30 Pro
Honor V30 Pro is a very similar device to the Huawei Nova 6 5G, but there are a few differences besides the fact that it is a smartphone from Huawei’s sub-brand. The rear camera setup is slightly better than the one found on the Huawei Nova 6 5G, while the dual front cameras are the same. The battery is slightly smaller, but unlike the Nova 6 5G, it supports fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. You get the same Kirin 990 chipset with an integrated 5G modem and 8 GB of RAM. All with a starting price of just €500 in the Chinese market.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro
While OnePlus 7T Pro is the best alternative for performance lovers, Huawei Mate 30 Pro is definitely the best smartphone for you if you need the best photo quality. Thanks to its rear quad camera including two 40 MP sensors, OIS and 3x optical zoom, there is no flagship smartphone that can actually win the competition with the Mate 30 Pro. And how not to talk about the battery? It is a huge 4500 mAh unit providing a very long battery life and supporting both fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. Huawei Mate 30 Pro even comes in a 5G variant featuring a Kirin 990 chipset with an integrated modem. The handset sports the new Horizon display with extremely curved borders and the side touch technology. Unlike most of the Chinese handsets, it is waterproof.

Realme X2 Pro is a flagship killer just like the Oppo Reno Ace, but with a few differences.

On the other hand, it offers an HDR10+ display with higher brightness. It packs a 4000 mAh battery and Dolby Atmos stereo speakers and it is even sold in the global market with a price tag starting from just €399.
