What CompareTab says about Huawei Nova 4 vs Huawei Mate 90
Huawei Mate 90 has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over Nova 4, with 12 GB of RAM versus 8 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 128 GB, a 6600 mAh battery versus 3750 mAh, and a 120 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (50 MP versus 20 MP), optical image stabilization on the main camera, a telephoto rear camera, and 66W charging. Huawei Nova 4, however, is around $395 cheaper and lighter at 172 g versus 217 g and has a higher-resolution 25 MP front camera. The main trade-off is the Mate 90’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus the Nova 4’s lower price, lighter build, and higher-resolution front camera.
