Today Huawei announced a new full-screen phone dubbed Nova 2S. As the name suggests, this is the improved variant of the Huawei Nova 2 launched in June 2017. But this is the third model from this line. The first model carrying a Nova family name was announced in 2016. This line has been developed for younger masses. It differs from Huawei’s P and Mate line models a lot. All Huawei Nova smartphones were launched to bring trendy features to younger customers. Thus they are way more affordable than Honor, Mate, and P line devices. So it’s quite interesting how this smartphone line performs.
This afternoon when the company spokesman before unveiling the Huawei Nova 2S, announced there were sold over 20 million units. This means the company has shipped more than 20 million units in a year. This is a quite astonishing number because the market is full of smartphone makers that can’t sell so many smartphones even in 5 years. So what makes the Huawei Nova models so attractive?
