While everyone is expecting the Nova 3i to be officially launched in Glorietta today, Huawei surprised the crowd by announcing that its big brother—the Nova 3—will be available in the Philippines as well.
While you get the same quad camera setup, 128GB internal storage, glass back, and 6.3-inch Full HD+ display as the Nova 3i, the Nova 3 gets a better rear camera setup consisting of a 16-megapixel f/1.8 RGB and 24-megapixel f/1.8 monochrome snappers.
