nova, by definition, is a star that suddenly lights up over a period of time before eventually fading. The HUAWEI nova line, in the meantime, aims to keep you in the spotlight. And that’s especially true with the HUAWEI nova 11 Pro. 

With its Super Design, Super Camera, and  Super Charge Innovation, you’ll definitely feel, well… Super! 

Super Design

The nova 11 Pro’s back panel will immediately catch your attention. First with the way it looks. Second with how it feels. 

This black colorway that we have, in particular, showcases a touch of elegance not often seen on midrangers. The back has a Monogram Vegan Leather design. It has ‘nova’ engravings making the phone feel premium to touch. 

The black look is highlighted by gold — both by the HUAWEI nova logo at the bottom part of the phone, as well as the lining around the main camera which we can’t wait to showcase to you. More on that later. 

It has a 6-point-78-inch, OLED, curved-edge display with 120Hz of refresh rate and FULL HD, ultra-high resolution for a truly enjoyable viewing experience.

And that display is protected by Kunlun Glass making it near impervious to accidental drops and falls.

Super Camera

The nova 11 Pro has a killer look. But it impresses even more with its portrait-taking capabilities. 

Here are the lenses that the phone is rocking: On the rear are the 50 megapixel Ultra Vision Camera and the 8 megapixel Ultra-wide macro camera. And up front you have the 60 megapixel Ultra wide Autofocus camera and the 8 megapixel portrait close-up camera.

More important than the numbers are all the things that it will let you do. 

You can take portraits, in more ways than one! The nova 11 Pro is built for that.  

What about selfies? We all love them! The nova 11 pro lets you take them at different focal lengths… and different lighting conditions. 

What about non portraits and selfies? Naturally, the nova 11 Pro can more than deliver quality photos, in many different shooting scenarios. This makes it a really handy camera to always have in your pocket. 

Are you more into videos? Hop into vlog mode, and show off your style.

Super Charge

You can say a nova is somewhat of a burst. Charging speed-wise, it definitely does just that with the SuperCharge Turbo feature.

With the 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo charging modes, the HUAWEI nova 11 Pro can be charged with haste. 

That’s up to 60% in 10 minutes and fully charged in 20 minutes when the screen is off. Screen on? You get to 50% in 15 minutes. Easy and speedy.

AppGallery with GBox

But what’s a smartphone without the apps that you need? Fret not, Huawei has beefed up the AppGallery. Now you can download all the necessary apps. 

There’s the Grab Super App for deliveries, getting around, and more. GCash for all your transactions and Landbank and BPI for your banking needs! 

Into gaming? Pick your favorite Hero and help get the win in Mobile Legends or grab your favorite assault rifle and lead the charge on Call of Duty Mobile!

What about Google Apps? We’ve talked about in detail before, but Google Apps are now available through GBox. And GBox is now integrated into AppGallery. 

Simply look for the Google app you need to install it! 

Need access to your files, download Google Drive. Have to send those files via email? Go ahead and get Gmail. Download GMeet to get your video calling needs done and wind down by watching your favorite videos on YouTube. 

Huawei nova 11 Pro

The HUAWEI nova 11 Pro is a midranger but already has that flagship flavoring.

The feel is elegant, the look is divine, and the capabilities are breathtaking. The cameras let you capture in great detail and the phone, as a whole, delivers a complete experience. 

It’s a smartphone that takes care of all your need and looks pretty darn good while doing it.

The HUAWEI nova 11 Pro retails for PhP 33,999. From June 23-29, it comes with a Watch Fit freebie worth PhP 4,999.

30 days with the LG AeroMini

The upgrade my new space ~badly~ needed

Published

on

By

Moving into a new space comes with a long list of things to figure out, and lately, I’ve been paying more attention to something that’s easy to overlook: air quality.

After using the LG AeroMini for about a month, it has become a subtle but welcome addition to my space. It helps make the room feel fresher, while its compact and stylish design fits naturally into my setup. Here are the things that stood out to me most after living with it for a month.

360° purification for a fresher space

One of the things I appreciate about the AeroMini is its 360° air purification, designed to bring purified air in every direction.

For me, this is particularly useful in a new space where I’m spending a lot of time working, relaxing, and just settling in.

Combined with its True HEPA filter, which is designed to remove 99.999% of 0.01μm fine dust and allergens, it gives me added peace of mind about the air I’m breathing every day.

After a month, I can genuinely say that the space feels fresher with it running.

Surprisingly quiet

This is probably my favorite feature.

The LG AeroMini operates at just 26dB, and after using it for a month, what stands out is how easy it is to forget that it’s even running.

I can have it running while I’m working or sleeping without the noise becoming a distraction. For an appliance that’s designed to continuously improve the air around you, I think that’s a big deal.

Sometimes, the best feature is the one you barely notice.

Design that fits my space

Since I recently moved, I’ve been pretty conscious about what I bring into the space. I want things to be functional, but I also don’t want appliances that feel like they’re taking over the room.

The AeroMini’s slim and compact design makes it easy to incorporate into my setup. It doesn’t feel bulky or industrial, and I like that I can leave it out without feeling like I need to hide it away.

For me, that balance between functionality and aesthetics makes it feel more like part of the space rather than just another appliance.

Air quality at a glance

Another feature I’ve found convenient is its Smart Control. Through the app, I can monitor and control the AeroMini while getting real-time updates on the indoor air quality.

It’s a small convenience, but being able to check the air quality without having to interact with the purifier directly makes it easier to keep track of what’s happening in the room.

Easy to maintain

I also appreciate that the AeroMini is designed with an all-in-one dust and deodorization filter that makes replacement and maintenance easier.

That matters to me because the best home gadgets are the ones that don’t create another complicated chore. I want something I can set up, use regularly, and maintain without too much fuss.

After a month, would I keep it?

Yes, and mainly because it quietly fits into my everyday routine.

The LG AeroMini has helped make my new space feel fresher and more comfortable, while its compact design means it doesn’t compromise the look of the room. But if I had to pick just one thing I appreciate most, it’s still how incredibly quiet it is.

It’s one of those upgrades that doesn’t demand your attention. It simply works in the background.
