Editorial report
Huawei nova 13i 8 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet
The Huawei nova 13i suits buyers looking for a large display and high camera resolution, but its refresh rate and battery capacity are lower than those of most phones launched around the same time. The 6.7-inch IPS LCD has a 1080 × 2388 px resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. Its 89.1% screen-to-body ratio is higher than that of most phones from the same period, while 90 Hz is lower than most.
The 108 MP rear camera resolution is among the highest of phones launched around the same time. It also records 4K video at 30 fps, but has no optical image stabilization. The phone has no Google Services, which matters to anyone who relies on them. It runs Android 14 and has 8 GB of RAM; this version pairs that memory with 128 GB of storage. A 256 GB configuration is also sold.
The 5,000 mAh battery has less capacity than that of most phones from its time and supports 40 W charging. Snapdragon 680, IP65 resistance, NFC and dual SIM round out the features. Hardware performance is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time, while the camera overall is typical. Its overall NeoScore is 5.4. The nova 13i is worth considering for buyers who prioritize camera resolution and a high screen-to-body ratio, and can accept a smaller-capacity battery, a 90 Hz display and no Google Services.
