Editorial report
Huawei nova 12i 8 GB / 256 GB / International technical sheet
The Huawei nova 12i suits buyers looking for a large display and a high-resolution main camera, although its 90 Hz refresh rate and performance result are lower than those of most phones from its time. Its 89.1% screen-to-body ratio is higher than that of most phones of its time, and its 108 MP resolution is among the highest camera resolutions of the period.
The display is a 6.7-inch IPS LCD with 1080 × 2388 px resolution and 391 ppi. The 5,000 mAh battery supports 40 W charging. The main camera records video at 1080p and 30 fps; its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than that of most cameras of its time. Its AnTuTu result is 328,079, lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. Google Services are not included.
This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; an 8 GB / 256 GB version is also sold. Connectivity includes NFC, USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.0 and Dual Nano-SIM. For buyers who prioritize a large display and high camera resolution, the Huawei nova 12i delivers those features, with weaker points in refresh rate, the AnTuTu result and aperture. Its overall NeoScore is 5.3, making it a fit for those who value its display area and camera resolution more than those limitations.
