Huawei Nova 2 Plus Frp Unlock Tool

[Kathrine Selvage]

TheHuawei nova plus features a 16MP camera with optical stabilization, bright F2.0 aperture, phase detection and contrast detection hybrid autofocus, and a dual-tone LED flash. The camera pixels are 1.12m big.

The interface of the camera app is straightforward if a little scattered. Swiping left or right in the virtual viewfinder lets you switch between still/video, and the nice Light painting, Beauty and Time-lapse modes.

The Light Painting mode shoots at 8MP and has four additional sub-modes - tail light trails, light graffiti, silky water, star track. Whatever the scene, your Huawei nova plus will first take a picture with the proper exposure settings and then it will capture the light trails of either cars, stars, water, or other moving objects. After you finish capturing those, the light trails will be automatically added to your picture. This process produces some stunning results if you keep the camera perfectly still while shooting - on a tripod or similar.

The Super Night mode is basically a slow shutter one, where the shutter speed and ISO are chosen automatically, depending on the scene, but you can tweak those if you like. The Manual option allows you to adjust all camera exposure settings as you see fit.

We snapped a couple of night shots for you. The auto mode does OK in terms of detail and contrast, but the focus often misses and we found ourselves taking a few test shots before the camera gets the focus right.

Using the Professional (manual) mode and a tripod allows for extending the shutter speed down to 4s or more, which often results in beautiful city night images. The focus issues remain, but you can always resort to using manual focus to be sure everything is fine.

Let's focus on the daylight image quality now. The 16MP samples came out with more than enough resolved detail and very good dynamic range. Noise levels are only average, the colors are accurate, and generally these are some solid-looking photos.

When shooting in portrait, panoramic images turn out just over 3,000 pixels tall and the samples below are about 30MP - not that far from a 180-degree sweep. Stitching is good, exposure is even, it's just that the captured detail and dynamic range are not quite the same as on the regular still images.

The front camera of the Huawei nova plus is an 8MP unit shooting images at 3,264 x 2,448 pixels. It's paired with a relatively bright f/2.0 lens. There is the obligatory beautification feature, which attempts to mask skin blemishes, but it mostly gets rid of any fine detail in the shot.

If you go for a regular photo, the resolved detail is quite satisfactory, the colors and contrast are great, too. It's one of the better selfie snappers we've seen, it also supports screen flash and shoot pleasant selfies most of the time.

One of the major flaws of previous Huawei smartphones is that they didn't support 2160p video recording. The Honor V8 was probably the first to offer it, and now both the nova and nova plus have 4K video capturing. Unfortunately, there is no 1080p video at 60fps option.

The 4K videos came out rich in detail, the colors are spot-on and the contrast is very good. The dynamic range is only about average, but still enough. There isn't any annoying focus hunting. The only real problem with the video samples is the poor audio quality of the sound that gets recorded along with the videos.

The IFA electronics trade show in Berlin didn't see too many flagship smartphone launches this year. Some companies, such as LG, opted for separate events weeks before or after the show, and most of the new phones we've seen, like Huawei's nova and nova plus, were mid-rangers.

But a mid-range phone these days is an odd beast. Once, the loosely defined category mostly meant a phone that's slightly weaker than top-of-the-line devices in nearly every department. Recently, however, these devices have been catching up with flagships in terms of features, while keeping prices down, with Chinese companies such as Xiaomi launching powerful flagships that cost less than most mid-rangers.

Huawei tackled this conundrum with a sane approach: its Huawei nova and nova plus smartphones -- both of which I've had a chance to try out over the last 10 days -- are beautifully designed and have pretty much everything an average user needs. The only thing that keeps them in the 'mid-range' category is a slightly weaker processor and lack of neat-but-unnecessary features, such as a curved screen or a dual camera.

Quick rundown: the Huawei nova and nova plus are both Android smartphones with a metal body, a Full HD IPS screen, an octa-core Snapdragon 625 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage memory and a fingerprint sensor.

There are three major differences between the two: the nova has a 5-inch screen, while the nova plus is larger, with a 5.5-inch display. The nova has a 12-megapixel rear camera, while the nova plus has 16 megapixels; both phones have an 8-megapixel selfie cam. Finally, the nova plus has a bigger, 3,340mAh battery versus the nova's 3,020mAh cell.

Design-wise, the nova is not just a smallified version of the nova plus. In fact, the positioning of the camera and the fingerprint sensor, which is round on the nova and square on the nova plus, make the two phones look quite different from the back. But the phones perform similarly and are equally well built, so interested buyers should primarily focus on the different size options.

We don't review too many mid-range smartphones at Mashable for one simple reason: they're boring. While some companies (see LG's "Specialist" phones, for example) try to spice things up a bit, most of the time these phones are simply weaker, cheaper versions of flagship devices.

Both devices are beautifully designed, with subtle curves on the glass and metal back making them really pleasant to hold. The bezels on both phones are crazy thin and, with the curvy "2.5D" glass, it gives them a premium feel. The gold version of the nova plus, which I reviewed, truly looks as fancy as any other phone I've held, including Huawei's current flagship, the P9. The dark grey nova I've used is perhaps just a notch less flashy (and much more reminiscent of the iPhone), but still a beautiful device.

There's one important difference between the two: the nova plus has a sizeable bump on the back to make room for the larger 16-megapixel sensor. The nova's camera, on the other hand, sits flush with the phone's rear. If bumps on the back are an issue for you and you don't mind the smaller form factor, you'll likely prefer the nova.

In terms of specs, comparing these phones to any flagship won't yield too many differences. There's essentially just one cheaper component in there and that's Qualcomm's Snapdragon 625 processor (the company normally uses its own Kirin line of processors), which is obviously slower than the top Snapdragon 82x chips we're seeing in today's flagships. How much slower? As a power user, who keeps fiddling with his phones all the time, I noticed no difference between the nova, the nova plus and the assortment of Android phones I normally use, which sport either the Snapdragon 820 or Huawei's Kirin 955.

True, I don't do much mobile gaming and, yes, this is a new phone and most Android users will attest to the fact that Androids do get slower with time, as apps pile up. But in everyday use, while not extraordinarily fast, both phones were quick enough for me to forget I was not using a top-of-the-line smartphone.

For reference, I've included the Geekbench result for the nova plus (Geekbench just wouldn't install on the nova, despite multiple attempts, but I reckon the results would be similar), below. The scores are orders of magnitude lower than those achieved on the Huawei P9 and Samsung's Galaxy S7. In real life usage, however, I just couldn't see that much of a difference.

I was pleasantly surprised with the battery life I got from the larger Huawei nova plus; it regularly lasted me a full day with 30 percent battery life left at the end. I spent a little less time with the nova, but I was surprised it lasted a similar amount of time, given its smaller battery.

The rear camera resolution of these two phones -- 16 and 12 megapixels -- indicates they might use the same sensors as Huawei's other phones, such as the 16-megapixel Mate 8 and the 12-megapixel P9. But while the nova plus' camera did perform similarly to that of the Mate 8, it was one or two steps behind the camera in the P9 (which is enhanced with another, monochrome sensor).

Both the nova and nova plus cameras took solid, if not great, photos on sunny days, but were not so wonderful in darker conditions. Check out a full photo and two details from photos I took with the nova plus:

Besides the megapixel count, there's one major difference between the nova plus and nova cameras: only the nova plus has optical image stabilization. It did make photos taken with the nova plus a lot less less blurry. Overall, the nova plus took better, sharper photos with darker, richer colors. If photo quality is important to you and you don't mind the nova plus' larger size, you'll like that model more.

Both phones offer 4K-resolution video recording, though you'll probably need a microSD card for increased storage if you plan to film a lot of those. Video quality is great in well-lit conditions; if shooting in twilight or darker, forget about it.

While the cameras don't tread new ground, the bottom line is this: they're not far behind those on more expensive phones. You don't get the fancy second sensor, which appears to be all the rage these days, but you probably won't look at your photos and say, "I wish I'd bought a phone with a better camera."

Huawei, like most major manufacturers, slaps its own software over stock Android 6.0, adding some features, removing others and generally angering all those people (and it's a big camp) who prefer the stock Android experience.

It might take some getting used to, but EMUI is not bad. It takes some elements from Apple's iOS (for example, there's no central 'apps' folder, you simply arrange apps into folders on the phone's virtual screens), retains some from Android and integrates a few apps of its own into the mixture.
