Archive.org versionHuawei have packed a ton of value into the Nova 3e. However, they’re not the only brand packing a lot of value into that $200-$400 space anymore - and that leaves the Nova 3e outgunned on a few choice fronts.

Archive.org versionIt looks like a million dollars. Yet it is a mass-market device that delivers more mid-market specifications. It is good value and a good buy

Archive.org versionOverall, I love this phone. It is beautifully designed and has an attention to detail that for a mid-tier/range device really surprising and a new welcomed design change for the normal plastic on metal or full plastic.

Archive.org versionThe Huawei Nova 3e which is priced at RM1320(0% GST) is a great camera centric phone that offers high resolution selfie picture and colour popping images through its 24MP front facing selfie camera as well as the 16MP + 2MP rear camera. It comes with a whopping 128GB internal storage and 9v/2A fast charging which we rarely see on other phones of it's price range. I would say that Huawei definitely put a lot of focus into the camera sensors and image processors of this device, and it is on par with or even better compare to the two of the popular selfie focused phones of same price range which is the Oppo F7 and the Vivo V9.

Archive.org versionHuawei Nova 3e maintains the consistent high-value level of the Nova series beautifully uses a full-screen design, as well as the dazzling performance of front and rear cameras, are all excellent, and these characteristics also cater to the current young people’s ideas and the trend. In short, the Huawei Nova 3e is a great option for those looking for a smartphone with a large screen in a small body, adequate performance, a more than competent camera and software with many features.

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.

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.
