After introducing the Nova series at the IFA 2016 event, Huawei has already launched 5 different devices under this series. Now, the company launched the sixth device in the Nova series called Huawei Nova 2s. A couple of months,  Huawei launched the Nova 2i with four cameras and mid-range specifications. Now, the new Nova 2s also offers four cameras but packs high-end specifications and superior build quality. It comes with a metallics frame and a reflective glass back body.

As seen on the Honor V10 (a.k.a Honor View 10), the Nova 2s also comes with the front-facing fingerprint sensor. It sports a 6-inch FullView IPS display with Full HD+ (2160 x 1080 pixels) resolution. Instead of the latest Kirin 970 AI-powered chipset, the device packs the last-gen Kirin 960 octa-core processor. The device will be available in 4GB and 6GB RAM variants and offers 64GB of internal storage. There is also a MicroSD card slot for expanding the storage up to 256GB.

Talking about the cameras, the Huawei Nova 2s offers 20MP & 16MP sensors on the rear with f/1.8 aperture. For selfies, there is a 20MP + 2MP dual camera setup on the front with f/2.0 aperture. It runs on Android 8.0 Oreo-based EMUI 8.0 out of the box. With the in-house Huawei Histen 4.0 sound algorithm and a dedicated AK4376A audio chip, the Nova 2s should be offering Hi-Fi audio output. The power button comes with a textured finish to distinguish itself from the volume rocker.

The smartphone is backed by a 3,340mAh non-removable battery and there is no information about the fast charging support. Connectivity options on this device include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, NFC, 3.5mm audio jack, and a USB Type-C port. The power button and volume rocker are placed on the right edge. It measures 156.9 x 75.1 x 7.5 mm and weighs 169 grams. With the built-in NFC support, the Nova 2s can be used for making mobile payments via Huawei Pay.
