Here we have a presentation of the Huawei Nova 9. The packaging is practically the same as the Nova 8i with a white background and brown details. There is no information on the sides until we check the base of the packaging. Here we can see some specs such as 8 GB RAM, 128 GB memory and Dual SIM. We also see that the presentation is Starry Blue and the NAM-LX9 model.

We open the box and give it full with a Chinese smartphone. The overall design is solid at 175 grams. The best thing about the curved design is that it does not slip out of your hand, the bezels are comfortable to the touch, and the shiny presentation makes the fingerprints disappear.

Another detail is the camera module, which sits above the back surface, which causes the phone to move a little when you put it on the table. Also, dust can get into the small gaps.

More design features include the speaker on the bottom, as well as a USB-C port and SIM tray. There is no fingerprint reader on the start button, it is under the screen and there is no Jack port.

HUAWEI NOVA 9 | Analysis and unboxing

The screen is 6.57 inch OLED with curved edges, the resolution is FullHD + and the refresh rate of 120 Hz. The maximum brightness power will make the phone run smoothly in bright conditions, and the display will not be a problem from any perspective. and also in the system is the sound settings. You can choose between Normal and Vivid and also define the color temperature. I should also mention eBook mode, resolution setting and dark mode.

In terms of performance, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 4G 8-core processor does a good job, although Huawei may have released a 5G version. 8GB of RAM and 128GB of memory support Android 11 with EMUI 12. I did a test with Geekbench 5 and got 783 on Single-Core and 2995 on Multi-Core. The latter number means the Galaxy S21 + 5G and Note 20 Ultra 5G are little more than a mobile phone, as well as the S20 FE 5G and Poco X3 Pro.

Overall, the machine does a good job of doing various background tasks. One of the problems is downloading and updating apps. Huawei has an App Gallery and a Petal Finder to meet your needs with an APK, but when the APK needs to be updated, you will have to re-download the entire download to access the service. Nevertheless, EMUI 12 does a good job for its customization tools, but should do something about the tedious work of manually updating APKs.

HUAWEI NOVA 8I | Team analysis

The camera system consists of four lenses: a 50MP main lens, an 8MP wide angle lens, a 2MP depth lens and a 2MP macro lens, so that images in good lighting come out very precisely in terms of sharpness, brightness, dynamic range and tone. attention to a few things, such as capturing details that are likely to be missed by autofocus, especially in low light. With a wide angle, the results are not the same as with the main lens: details are more easily lost and tones are no longer the same.

The 32MP selfie does a good job of portraits. The skin is not saturated and the contrasts are just right. The performance is just as acceptable, even in low light conditions.

Before we put the phone down, let's talk about the autonomy. The battery is 4300mAh and the charger that comes with the kit has 66W. This leads us to a full quick charge from 0 to 100 in just 40 minutes and the said charge will last for a day and a half without problems. add energy control functions such as smart charging and various performance modes.

We put the phone down and look at the rest of the package. This little box comes with a tray pin and a clear case. Finally, at the end of the package is the charger and data cable.
