Reviews for the Huawei Nova 7i

Hands on review: Huawei Nova 7i smartphone
Source: Bit-Tech English
On top of this, we’d got used to using Google Pay and ID tools to the point where we no longer needed to carry a wallet. That’s mostly gone now. While our Service NSW app allowed us to check-in to places via QR codes, once it started asking for updates we couldn’t access the network – nor easily update it. Living without YouTube also became an issue.

In this detailed review, we will be sharing our complete thoughts, discussing what’s special about the phone and all the other key details that any potential customer might need to know before their decision.

Huawei Nova 7i: Unboxing and First Look
Source: Team Android English Archive.org version
Moving towards the rest of the box, after the phone, we get this big envelope. Contained inside it, there is a SIM eject tool, quick start guide and a TPU protective cover. After this, there are a standard set of accessories, including Huawei fast charger, basic earphones with microphone and also, USB type-C to type-A cable. If you are wondering that whether the phone comes with a screen protector? It is pre-applied on the phone which is a big plus since aligning protectors on hole-punch displays is very difficult by hand.

Huawei Nova 7i Review: At Long Last
Source: Unbox English Archive.org version
In the saturated and competitive mid-range market, the Nova 7i is a strong contender thanks to its Kirin 810 processor that outperforms most Qualcomm and MediaTek processors that play in its price point. The Nova 7i ticks all the boxes for a compelling mid-range phone, only missing out with the inferior loudspeaker, proprietary NM Card storage expansion, and lackluster video features.

Huawei nova 7i Smartphone First Impressions
Source: B2G English Archive.org version
With that out of the way, this phone proves to be a convincing addition to Huawei’s mainstream offering. Feels good on the hand with decent battery life, as an SMS and call phone this is definitely good with a great camera to back it up. Whichever route you go for the software side, its still a decent phone and Google is at least doing something to improve the situation for a more uniform ecosystem for their clients. As it is, I’m comfortable with the nova 7i and proves to be a good, midrange option and the camera is definitely something to appreciate. Stay tuned for our full review.

Whenever Huawei launches a new Nova device, it’s always exciting as these devices are known to pack really good specs at a very competitive price tag, just like the Nova 5T from last year, and I’m sure you guys remember the good ol’ Nova 3i from 2018. For 2020, we have the Nova 7i. Is this the mid-range smartphone to beat this year? Find out in this full review.

Huawei has brought its mid-range Nova to the next level with the Nova 7i. It has a beautiful display, excellent performance, good cameras, and a large battery with impressive charging tech. The best part is that it’s priced at just PHP 13,990, making it one of the best-performing Android smartphones under PHP 15K for 2020.

Huawei Nova 7i Unboxing, Quick Review: Mid-range Beast Cometh
Source: Unbox English Archive.org version
The Nova 7i is getting super-fast charging thanks to its USB Type-C port and Huawei’s own SuperCharge tech. The charger included in the package supports 40W fast charging, which is blazingly-fast for a mid-range phone. We went from 20% to 70% in 20 minutes, beating many fast-charging metrics from similarly-priced phones.

78% Huawei Nova 7i Review — A Step In The Right Direction
Source: Pokde English Archive.org version
Overall, HUAWEI has upped their game in the mid-range segment with the nova 7i as you can see from the benchmark scores and also the camera results. For the price of RM1,099, I’d say that it’s actually a pretty good deal.

As you’d likely surmise, the Nova 7i will run EMUI 10 and ship without Google Mobile Services so you’ll have to rely on their Huawei AppGallery or get fairly creative in regards to sourcing your favourite apps.

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.

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.
