The Huawei Nova 9 SE smartphone doesn’t offer cutting-edge technology nor does the phone has anything ample specs that are worth noting. But if you are thinking purchase a Huawei mid-range phone, you are getting a combo of decent performance, camera quality, and impressive battery life experience. Apart from this, the software interface is not that great if you prefer the google ecosystem apps. Anyway, if you are a fan of Huawei, you can still use the alternative apps that will work great according to your needs. Though, there’s no denying that the smartphone makers have lost a huge portion of users. But does the Huawei Nova 9 SE appeal to a wide range of mass? Probably not, as you have several alternative options present in the market with 5G support such as the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite which comes with better specs but the final decision is in your hand.

And I guess that is the conclusion. If you do want to buy the Huawei Nova 9 SE, go ahead. The price is RM1,099 but I do think that you need to know what you’re getting.

If you keep your expectations modest and aren’t fully invested in the current dominant app ecosystems, the Huawei nova 9 SE makes for an affordable entry level phone that has its own unique charms. The omission of Google services isn’t as big a flaw as it was several years ago with Huawei’s own AppGallery and their GSpace app to fill in the gaps. With the provision of a large 108MP AI Quad Camera, a large DCI-P3 compliant display and 66W fast charging, the Huawei nova 9 SE has features that typically appear on higher end phones and represents great value, making it one of the best phones in its price category.

The Huawei nova 9 SE is another solid mid-range offering from the company as we found in our review for the device in the Philippines, though it’s going to be up against heavy-hitters in the mid-range crowd. We don’t know the pricing for the phone as of yet but it really behooves Huawei to try and get the pricing as low as possible since the phone will be going up against Xiaomi’s mid-range offerings that were just announced, as well as the ones from realme. We’ll have to see once Huawei officially announces the nova 9 SE Philippine price next week.

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.
Qualcomm Adreno 610: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 665) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. The performance of the GPU is between the Adreno 510 and 512/612 and therefore in the lower mid range. Supports DirectX11_1, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.2.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

SD 680: Fast mid-range ARM SoC with 8 CPU Kryo 265 cores (four fast 2.4 GHz ARM Cortex-A73 based cores in a cluster and four power saving ARM Cortex-A53 based cores at 1.8 GHz) and a rather slow Adreno 610 GPU. Manufactured in 6 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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.

68.19%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
