Between the two, the main differences lie in the display, selfie cameras, battery, and charging speeds: the nova 9 Pro has a 6.72-inch panel with two 32-megapixel selfie cameras (main and ultra-wide), a 4000mAh battery, and an insanely fast 100w wired charging solution.
The vanilla model, on the other hand, has a 6.57-inch panel with a single 32-megapixel selfie snapper, a bigger 4300mAh battery, and a slightly slower (but still fast) 66w wired charging solution.
Both phones get the same rear camera setup: 50-megapixel RYYB main camera, 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a pair of 2-megapixel cameras for depth sensing and macro shots. They also come with 8GB RAM, up to 256GB internal storage, and HarmonyOS 2 out of the box.
