The cameras are an important part of the nova 9 series phones, so we have to talk about them under a separate heading.

The camera department is one of the major differences between both phones. The Nova 9 has a single 32MP front-facing camera unlike the pro version with two sensors.

Huawei says the front cameras can record in 4K, slow motion, shoot portrait videos, and have video stabilization. There is also night mode for videos, and support for recording time-lapse videos. For photos, users can take ultrawide angle selfies, portrait selfies, and portrait selfies with night mode.

On the back, the nova 9 has four cameras – a 50MP f/1.9 RYYB main camera that captures up to 40% more light than a regular camera. There is also an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP depth of field camera, and a 2MP macro camera.

The rear camera packs several features such as vlog mode, audio zoom, night mode, dual view video which allows you to record from both the front and rear cameras at the same time, and timelapse mode. One interesting feature is Multi-camera mode which allows you to connect to a nearby phone and get more angles for the shot you want to take or the video you are recording. The phone also come with Petal Clip, a one-click video-editing software.
