Here is a detailed overview of the Huawei nova 9, based on the hands-on review by GSMArena:
Design and Build:
Features a distinctive camera island with an accent ring around the main camera and three other cameras bundled together to resemble a video game controller [00:35].
The glass back has
an elegant frosted finish, available in black or starry blue [00:47].
Flattened top and bottom frames give it a modern look [00:52], housing a single downward-facing speaker (no stereo speaker setup) [00:58].
There is no official IP rating for water and dust resistance [01:03].
The front featur
es an aggressively curved display that enhances its premium appearance, along with a sizable punch-hole cutout for the 32-megapixel selfie camera [01:10].
Display:
Equipped with a 6.5-inch OLED panel that is sharp and vibrant [01:23].
Supports HDR10, 10-bit colors, and a 120Hz refresh rate [01:
23].

Performance and Connectivity:
Powered by the Snapdragon 778G processor, paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of base storage [01:44].
Despite t
he chipset being 5G-capable, the device is limited to 4G connectivity because Qualcomm is not permitted to sell 5G chips to Huawei [01:50].
Other connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC [02:04].
Software:
Runs EMUI 12 on top of Android 11, offering numerous custom
ization options and proprietary apps [02:11].

Cameras:
The rear camera system defaults to capturing 12.5-megapixel stills [02:29].
Includes an 8-mega
pixel ultra-wide camera, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro camera [02:32].
Low-light performance benefits from a night mode that subtly restores highlights [02:48].
