Editorial report

Huawei Hi nova 9z 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The Huawei Hi nova 9z suits buyers looking for a large display and fast charging; its main trade-off is a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time. The 6.67-inch display covers 89% of the front, more than on most phones launched around the same time. It refreshes at 120 Hz and has a resolution of 1080 × 2376 pixels.

The main camera's 64 MP resolution is higher than that of most phones of its time, while its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than most. The rear camera setup also includes an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro camera, and video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps. Fast charging at 66 W has more power than that of most phones from its time, although the battery capacity is 4,300 mAh. This configuration comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 256 GB. An IPS LCD display, HarmonyOS 3 and a 3.5 mm audio jack round out the feature set.

Overall, the Hi nova 9z is typical among phones of its time and has a NeoScore of 5.5. It is a considered option for buyers who prioritize screen area, camera resolution and fast charging, and are comfortable with lower battery capacity and a less bright aperture than most phones launched around the same time.
