Huawei Nova 12 Lite Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Huawei Nova 12 Lite seems to have all the right specs to make it a performance-oriented all-rounder. The smartphone relies heavily on the design and the performance aspect and they certainly pay off. The design is simply unbeatable at this price point and the performance is more than decent. The camera performance was also quite good, that is if you can ignore the secondary camera performance. There’s almost nothing to complain about except for 5G connectivity, which is not here. Even this would have been not much of a problem if the pricing was decent, which it isn’t. At this price, other smartphones are providing far better features than just 5G. Knowing that those smartphones exist, we cannot say that the pricing is good by any means.

Huawei Nova 12 Ultra Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Huawei Nova 12 Ultra smartphone seems to provide all the right specs to provide a solid user experience. It has a high-end display, chipset, and battery that are usually reserved for high-end smartphones. But the smartphone also missed many features such as a better camera, water resistance, wireless charging, and Android OS support. Some smartphones provide better features along with a far better camera system for a price tag that is lower than the Nova 12 Ultra smartphone. That’s none other than the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE which provides similar or better specs in every way. So, if you live outside of China, there’s very little reason to go for the Huawei Nova 12 Ultra. But if you live in mainland China, then this smartphone can be a better option, thanks to HarmonyOS 4.0’s rich ecosystem support that may vastly enhance the user experience for Chinese users. However, the final decision is up to you, so it is better to choose a smartphone based on your requirements and needs.

Huawei Nova 12 Smartphone Review
Source: Tech Nave English
The Huawei Nova 12 brings together a good set of features and specs in the mid-range price segment. It has an attractive design, a sturdy build, an amazing camera, 5G connectivity, and many other things. But, at the same time, the Nova 12 series phone is currently exclusive to the Chinese smartphone market, and it’s not confirmed when the company will unveil it to the global market. But, the core downside of purchasing this phone would be average gameplay performance. The phone lacks when it comes to the cooling system and GPU support. Although the device attains the GPU turbo booster, it lacks when it comes to real-time performance. However, you won’t face any major issues with the camera department as the photos and video quality are good. Yet, there’s no doubt that the phone lacks proper video stabilization support.

Huawei Nova 12i Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
Finally, let’s discuss whether this Huawei Nova 12i smartphone is worth purchasing or not. From the specs and features overview, one thing is clear Huawei Nova 12i can handle performance, battery life, and display experience. On the other hand, the camera department does perform well with daylight photos and videos. But the same thing didn’t apply to lowlight photography or videography. Anyway, the phone is exclusively available in China, and it would be tough to get this phone in other countries. In that scenario, you should check alternative options like Nothing Phone 2A. It’s a complete package of performance, camera, and features. Meanwhile, make a decision based on your requirements and needs.
