Huawei's latest smartphone duo: the Nova 2 and Nova 2 Plus with dual camera setup launched in China
The Chinese smartphone manufacturer Huawei is back again with its latest Nova 2 and Nova 2 Plus. With the special launch of this duo, Huawei puts another effort in its smartphone business to flourish in China and overseas. The success story behind Nova and Nova plus is already known and this time, the successors are expected to carry forward the legacy. Similar to the last time, the plus variant is only an up gradation of the basic one in terms of screen size, storage, and battery. According to the various third party sources, the phone will officially be available from 16th June, 2017.
