Editorial report
Huawei nova 12 SE 8 GB / 256 GB / Global / BNE-LX1 technical sheet
The Huawei nova 12 SE suits anyone looking for a slim phone with an OLED display and a high-resolution main camera. Its main trade-offs are a 90 Hz refresh rate, lower than that of most phones of its time, and a 4500 mAh battery with less capacity than most.
The 6.67″ OLED display has a 1080 × 2400 px resolution and a typical-for-its-time density of 395 ppi. At 7.4 mm, the body is among the thinnest of phones from its period, and its 186 g weight is lower than that of most. The 90 Hz refresh rate, by contrast, is lower than on most phones of those years. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage and runs EMUI 14.
The main camera's 108 MP resolution is among the highest of phones of its time; it is joined by an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro camera. Its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than that of most phones from the same period, and there is no optical image stabilization. The 4500 mAh battery supports 66 W charging, higher than that of most phones of its time. Connectivity is worse than on most phones launched around the same time. Its overall NeoScore is 5.7: a fit for people who prioritize a slim body, OLED and high camera resolution and accept those trade-offs.
