Ever since the Google scandal, Huawei has pretty much been non-existent for the International market. Suffering a recession of 23% annual growth and catalyzed further by the COVID-19 outbreak, these might be the worse of time Huawei has ever experienced. Nevertheless, the Chinese tech giant hasn’t ceased manufacturing stellar phones.
Earlier this year, we had a glimpse at Huawei’s exquisite Mate 40 Pro, which featured an astounding camera setup. And it had only been few months since the launch of the 7-series; Huawei has shed light on its newest Nova 8 series, which features Huawei Nova 8 and Huawei Nova 8 Pro smartphones.
