Nova 8i is definitely a great phone that comes with many powerful features and specifications that may attract any user to buy the phone, and with fatal flaws as well that may not be outweighed by other competing phones, so here are the next lines the price and specifications of Huawei nova 8i in addition to a comprehensive review of the phone that includes Advantages, disadvantages and all other details.

Huawei nova 8i specs

Huawei nova 8i price

The price of the nova 8i is 307 dollars, which is equivalent to 1150 Saudi riyals, 4815 Egyptian pounds, for the 8 + 128 GB version. The phone was revealed on July 7, 2021 in Malaysia while it was officially launched on July 22 in Asia as well.

Since Huawei launched the nova 7i in most global markets, then it is expected that the company will launch the phone in most markets around the world, including Egypt, Portugal, Spain, India and Saudi Arabia, so we will update this article as soon as the phone is revealed outside Asian markets.

Design

At first glance, Nova 8i looks similar to Nova 7i. The phone comes with a large screen with a hole in order to house the front camera in the upper left and the earpiece next to the top edge.

On the right is the volume rocker and the power button, which also acts as a fingerprint sensor. At the bottom are the 3.5mm audio jack, a USB Type-C port, and the speaker. While on the back of the phone there is a quad camera in a prominent unit surrounded by a thin metal frame.

The phone we have for review comes in a silver colour. It looks like glass but has the feel of plastic in the hands. However, the metal frame makes the user feel solid but still can be carried comfortably. Although navigating the user interface requires the use of both hands.

The materials used to make the phone are good. Huawei did not mention any special glass protection, but a plastic screen protector was pre-installed. There is also a clear case included in the phone package, which is great.

Display

The nova 8i features a 6.67-inch IPS LCD display with Full HD+ quality. The edges are noticeable and not as thin as those found on today's flagship devices. The bottom edges are noticeably thick but not distracting at all.

The screen is good, has wide viewing angles, and vibrant colors are reliable in strong sunlight. Overall, it will have a good experience even though it lacks a high refresh rate, which is a fatal flaw that definitely lacks the phone a lot.

Camera

Huawei nova 8i features a quad rear camera setup consisting of a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, and two 2MP macro and depth sensors respectively.

The camera produces good pictures full of details and saturated with colors, especially the primary sensor, which can be relied upon, although night photography and in low-light conditions seem to need development. Surprisingly here is that the phone supports video shooting only in 1080p quality, which is definitely not appropriate for a phone in middle class in 2021.

Most of the competing phones certainly support 4K video shooting, so we did not understand why Huawei did this. We have a single 16-megapixel front camera that we saw a lot on many phones and did not provide much, but it is certainly good and helps the user to take selfies and upload them on various social networking sites .

Performance and software

The Nova 8i is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor with an Adreno 610 GPU, 6 or 8 GB RAM, and 128 GB internal storage. It's a mid-range internal setup that can handle most tasks that an average user would perform, including mid-range games. Apps launch quickly, and switching between them is seamless.

We aspired to see a much more powerful processor, given that Xiaomi, Oppo and Realme are using powerful processors in all their mid-range phones, Huawei should not think that it will succeed in attracting the user to buy a phone at a price of $ 300 that comes with an old Snapdragon processor and Android 10 operating system Which we cannot explain.

We are about to see Android 12 officially while Huawei launched an old Android 10 phone even though it launched its new Harmony OS. Huawei's biggest problem is still the same, there is no support for Google services.

Battery

Are there any strengths that might encourage the user to buy this phone? Fortunately yes. We have a battery with a decent capacity of 4300 mAh, the distinction is not in the battery itself, but in the fast charging that comes with a capacity of 66 watts, and it suffices to say that this is the same fast charging in Mate 40 Pro.

This super charger included in the phone box can charge up to 60% from the battery in 17 minutes while the battery can be fully charged in 38 minutes, surely we have a long battery life that enables the user to enjoy the phone all day and perform all the different daily tasks without any problems but will immortalize the user Go to sleep and about 20% of battery capacity will be left.
