There are misleading information here, this is the general problem of nano review, it's not accurate. The nova 11 pro comes with "2 selfie cameras" one is 8 mp and the other is an ultra-wide 60 mp camera!! As well as it can record 4K@30FPS, so at selfie point the NOVA 11 PRO beats the nova 11. This is a general problem, please Nanoreview team fix it β™₯️ I love your website, but it must not have misleading information!
