Reviews for the Huawei Nova 7 SE

80% Huawei Nova 7 SE review: An almost-excellent, mid-range, 5G-capable phone
Source: Hardware Zone English Archive.org version
Still, don't let my nitpicking stop you from getting the Nova 7 SE. If you're not too addicted to Google Maps or YouTube apps and you easily use access the same via the browser, it's seriously one of the best current-generation mid-range phones you could grab, features- and functionality-wise. Ease of use is the main detracting factor that you would have to weigh in and it would vary from person to person and the kinds of apps being used.

Huawei Nova 7 SE – Camera and Gaming Review
Source: Manila Shaker English Archive.org version
We also installed some productivity apps and yes it’s almost hassle-free. However we tried to install Call of Duty Mobile, but we downloaded the wrong apk file and upon running the app and logging through my Facebook account, it creates a new profile. However, there’s a way to install this game. If you have another device that has COD Mobile already installed, just download the clone phone app and send the game to your device. Though there’s an easy way just search Call of Duty Garena apk on your browser and click the apkpure website, install, and you can now log in using your old COD profile.

Huawei Nova 7 SE 5G Review - No Playstore? No problem!
Source: Manila Shaker English Archive.org version
Huawei made it a little less hassle now thanks to Petal Search, especially those not that techie, it will easily sideload apps as easy as a simple click. We also manage to play Call of Duty Mobile (Garena Ver.)in the new midrange contender Huawei Nova 7 SE. In this gaming and camera review video, we installed almost everything we need and we took sample photos of each lens. We also test the gaming capability with (PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, Honkai Impact 3, Mobile Legends, Asphalt 9, NBA 2K20) and showed the charging test, antutu benchmark score, and battery drain test results of Huawei Nova 7 SE 5G.

Huawei nova 7 SE Review: Living With HMS Is Kind Of Possible Now
Source: Lowyat.net English Archive.org version
The Huawei nova 7 SE starts off with a clear disadvantage compared to many other Android phones in the market. And that is the lack of GMS. But now, with Petal Search, most of the problems have been aleivated, and you can quite comfortably live with it. Unless, of course, you rely heavily on, say, Google Drive.

Huawei Nova 7SE 5G Review
Source: Yugatech English Archive.org version
The Huawei Nova 7 SE is a well-rounded device that performs well in all aspects. It has an amazing IPS display, a solid mid-range chipset, capable cameras, respectable battery life, and of course, 5G connectivity. All of its upsides are magnified by its affordable price of just PHP 19,990.

Review – Huawei Nova 7 SE: Is it worth the price for RM1,499?
Source: NLT English Archive.org version
For the price of RM1,499, it’s obvious that the price hike is because of that 5G tax. And since it’s not ready in Malaysia yet, don’t use “5G” as a factor while choosing your smartphone right now.

76% Huawei nova 7 SE Review – Pretty Purple 5G Power Performer
Source: Hitech Century English Archive.org version
The nova 7 SE melds a decent camera array, swift performance, good battery life and fetching good looks along with 5G support, making it the cheapest 5G capable phone in Malaysia at this point in time. The lack of Google services is irksome but Huawei’s made inroads to making the process of getting the apps you want on the phone easier and at its price point, it’s well worth a look if you’re on the hunt for a midrange 5G capable phone.

78% Huawei Nova 7 SE Review — Affordable 5G Smartphone Anyone?
Source: Pokde English Archive.org version
Considering that it’s also the cheapest 5G smartphone in the market at the moment, priced at RM1,499, it’s definitely a worthy contender. Adding the fact that HUAWEI is throwing in a couple of freebies worth RM1,256 with purchase of the device, it’s pretty good value for your money. For that, I award the HUAWEI nova 7 SE with our Silver Pokdeward.

Huawei’s really piling on the value with their new mid-range phone, though they’re stretching the definition of mid-range for the nova 7 SE once you consider that it’s going to retail for Php 19,999. Is the phone worth that price? You’ll have to wait for our full review.

Series:

Huawei's phone business may be embattled due to software problems but it has not stopped making new phones. While most of them have not made it to European shores, the latest Huawei Nova 9 is an exception to this. In terms of its design, this device is still considered thin at 7.8mm and light at 175g. This definitely makes it rather portable while the curved edges keep it comfortable to be held on too. The rear camera module on the back comes in two different circles which houses the main camera and the remaining lenses. However, this model has no Gorilla Glass on the display and there is also no water or dust-resistant IP rating. As far as the display is concerned, the Huawei Nova 9 has been incorporated with a large 6.75-inch Full HD+ OLED display with high colour coverage. This is paired with an impressive 120Hz high refresh rate. In addition, there is also an under-display fingerprint reader, which can be quite fast and reliable. In terms of its performance, this is a firmly mid-range device which uses the Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G chipset paired with an 8GB of RAM with either 128GB or 256GB of storage. It is undeniable that this is not the fastest or most powerful phone on the market, but it has got more than enough power for the average user. The performance is rather smooth and fluid even when multi-tasking, and there is enough power to run any modern smartphone game too.

In terms of its battery, the Huawei Nova 9 comes in with a 4300mAh battery which is enough for the phone to last a day’s use fairly comfortably, but definitely not enough to stretch it to two days unless for an exceptionally light usage. Fundamentally that makes the battery life fairly average for the modern market as there are phones with better battery life out there, but this is obviously not the worst though. As for its camera, this smartphone carries a 50MP main camera, 8MP ultrawide camera, 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor. The main camera being encased in its own circular housing, utilizes Huawei's RYYB pixel arrangement which the company prefers especially for low light performance. However, in this device it is not combined with optical image stabilization (OIS) which is key to really excellent night photography. Overall, in daylight the main camera is exceptional with rich colours and vivid detail in a range of conditions. Though in darker lighting results are good, the lack of OIS does show. Apart from that, the ultrawide does the job in decent lighting, but there is a marked drop in detail compared to the main lens while colours tend to be washed out. There is also a 32MP selfie camera which is quite decent. Overall, it is a great phone to be considered if the absence of Google Mobile services is not an issue.

6.50":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

78%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
