Editorial report

Huawei nova 7 SE technical sheet

The Huawei nova 7 SE suits buyers looking for a 5G phone with a versatile camera setup, provided they can live with a 4000 mAh battery whose capacity is below average for phones launched around the same time. Its 40 W charging is faster than on most of those phones.

The 6.5-inch IPS LCD display has 405 ppi, higher than on most phones from the same time. Its 8 GB of RAM and AnTuTu result also come in better than most. This configuration has 128 GB of storage, with expandable storage available; the nova 7 SE is also sold with 256 GB.

The 64 MP main camera has a resolution among the highest of its time, alongside an 8 MP ultrawide camera. There is no optical zoom, so that option is missing for framing distant subjects. Connectivity is better than on most phones launched around the same time, with 5G and dual SIM. The phone runs Android 10 but has no Google Services, an important limitation for buyers who rely on Google's apps and services.

Its overall NeoScore is 5.6, and the nova 7 SE is better than most phones from its time. It makes sense for buyers who prioritize 5G, a sharp display, and camera resolution, while weighing the lower battery capacity and lack of Google Services.
