Performance
Under the hood, the Nova 2 is powered by the Kirin 659 chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU with four cores clocked at 2.36 GHz and the other four at 1.7 GHz. This setup, paired with 4GB of RAM, ensures smooth multitasking and a generally responsive user experience. The Mali-T830 MP2 GPU handles most graphic tasks efficiently, though it's not specifically tailored for high-end gaming. Running on Android 7.0 Nougat with Huawei’s EMUI 5.1, the phone offers a user-friendly interface, although updates must be checked, as they may affect app compatibility over time.
