Editorial report
Huawei nova 12 Lite 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The Huawei nova 12 Lite suits people looking for a slim, light phone with a display-led design. At 6.9 mm thick and 168 g, it is among the thinnest and lightest phones of its time, while its 89.5% screen-to-body ratio is better than most. The trade-off is a 4,500 mAh battery with less capacity than most phones of its time, plus an f/1.9 main camera aperture that is worse than most. Overall, its battery and camera are typical for phones launched around the same time.
Its 6.7-inch OLED display has a 120 Hz refresh rate. This version comes with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 512 GB. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G is paired with HarmonyOS 4, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, stereo speakers and dual Nano-SIM support. Fast charging at 66 W is better than on most phones of its time, a notable counterpoint to the lower battery capacity.
The 50 MP main camera has no optical image stabilization or optical zoom and records 4K video. There is also an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 60 MP front camera. Taken together, the camera is typical of phones launched around the same time. With a NeoScore of 6.4, the Huawei nova 12 Lite is best suited to people who value a slim, light build and a prominent display more than above-average battery capacity. Its standout design and display specifications define the appeal, while the camera and battery sit around the typical level for its time.
