Ever since Huawei announced EMUI 10.1 / Magic UI 3.1 in late March, it has been rolling out beta builds to eligible devices in China. After almost two months of testing, the company has now begun to release stable builds for certain devices. Earlier today, we reported the arrival of EMUI 10.1 stable update for Huawei P30 series and MatePad Pro. Now, Huawei Nova 6 series and Honor V30 series are getting a similar treatment.

So far, Huawei / Honor has managed to roll out EMUI 10.1 / Magic UI 3.1 stable update for 7 devices including a tablet. The latest batch of devices to get the update are the ones listed below.

• Huawei Nova 6 5G
• Huawei Nova 6
• Huawei Nova 6 SE
• Honor V30
• Honor V30 Pro

Before these devices, the stable update was first available for Huawei P30, P30 Pro, and MatePad Pro.

Anyway, it is worth noting that the update for the above-mentioned devices is limited to China only. Also, uses will have to register in Huawei Club app to receive the update. The wider rollout for these devices will begin based on feedback from the early adopters.

We except more devices to receive stable builds in the coming days, especially those models that entered Open Beta channel last week. Nevertheless, Huawei and Honor are yet to announce the global rollout of EMUI 10.1 and Magic UI 3.1.

Back in December 2019, Huawei launched the Nova 6. So naturally, after the launch of the base variant, the Pro variant or the Nova 6 Pro should arrive next. However, a new report suggests that the Chinese tech giant is skipping the higher end version and directly launching the next entry in the series, the Huawei Nova 7.

The information was shared by a known blogger on Weibo, the popular Chinese microblogging website. Going by the history of his previous releases, there is a chance that the information is accurate but we will have to wait for an official company announcement for any confirmation. According to the leak, the Huawei Nova 7 will be released in early April 2020.

This puts it right after the launch of the company’s flagship P40 series, as stated in the post. Huawei is planning on unveiling the P40 series in Paris, France on 26th March 2020, while its Chinese launch is expected to arrive in the first week of April (around 2nd April 2020 according to the blogger). Immediately after this, the Nova 7 is expected to be launched. This would mark a relatively close release interval between the Nova 6 and the upcoming entry; just a 4 month gap between the two.

Furthermore, the Nova 7 series is likely to arrive with Huawei’s proprietary chipset, the Kirin 990 SoC, which is a 5G enabled processor. Unfortunately, finer details like the smartphone’s specifications are still unknown, but teaser’s from Huawei should be seen in the coming next few weeks. So stay tuned for more coverage on the Huawei Nova 7 series.

A few days after the official announcement, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is debuting in various markets. It just launched in India and now we even know its official listing price. That is why we think writing a specs comparison with other devices in the same price range may be extremely useful for potential buyers. In this specs comparison, we will highlight the differences between Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite, Huawei Nova 6 and Oppo Reno3 Pro: all high-end smartphones, but all with a non-excessive price. After reading the comparison, you can let us know which one would you pick by using the comment box below the post.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite vs Huawei Nova 6 vs Oppo Reno3 Pro

Design

According to us, Oppo Reno3 Pro has undoubtedly the most attractive design. First of all, it is thinner and lighter, one of the thinnest smartphones to feature a battery with a capacity above 4000 mAh. Further, it has an almost totally clean rear side since all the elements of the camera are included in the camera module and there is an in-display fingerprint reader. The phone also comes with a punch-hole display and a very high screen-to-body ratio. While Oppo Reno3 Pro is the most attractive, Huawei Nova 6 looks like the most original with its “Nova” pattern on its glass back.

Display

The most amazing screen belongs to the Oppo Reno3 Pro. It is the only device of this trio to feature a display with a 90 Hz refresh rate. Further, it is HDR-compliant and it has a high DCI P3 coverage. The silver medal goes to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite that is the only affordable flagship to support the S Pen, great for productivity users. Huawei Nova 6 has an IPS panel, it is not a bad display but it offers nothing special, just an average screen like the ones you can find on a lot of mid-range smartphones.

Hardware/Software

Huawei Nova 6 wins the hardware comparison thanks to its Kirin 990 chipset: the latest flagship SoC from Huawei built at 7 nm. The device also comes in a variant with 5G connectivity. The Oppo Reno3 Pro comes right after with a Snapdragon 765G chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite still comes with high-end hardware, but not at the same level as its rivals. On the other hand, it is the only to support micro SD. In each case, you get Android 10 out of the box with a customized user interface.

Camera

In order to give you a definitive opinion, we have to test each camera department of this trio. Unfortunately Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite just debuted, so we had no chance to test its camera performances. On the paper, Oppo Reno3 Pro looks more gorgeous with its 48 MP quad-camera, but Huawei Nova 6 is a valid opponent with its 40 MP triple camera and an ultrawide dual front camera.

Battery

The bigger 4500 mAh battery on board of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite will surely provide a longer battery life than both Huawei Nova 6 and Oppo Reno3. But Huawei Nova 6 has a way faster charging technology (70 percent in just 30 minutes).

Price

Huawei Nova 6 (without 5G) is sold for about €380/$421 in its base variant in India, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite costs about €494/$548, and Oppo Reno3 Pro is rumored to launch in India next month with a €545/$605 price tag. While Oppo Reno3 Pro looks like a more refined choice, Huawei Nova 6 offers a higher value for money, while Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite may be better for productivity and power users due to the S Pen and a longer-lasting battery.

To achieve the score, DxOMark analyzed the smartphone’s front cameras with over 1,500 test images and more than 2 hours worth of video footage. This was done in controlled lab environments, and in natural indoor and outdoor settings, using the camera’s default settings.

Huawei’s Nova 6 5G was stated to show good exposure in every condition, owing to its HDR processing technique.
