Editorial report
Huawei nova 8 SE 4G 8 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet
The Huawei nova 8 SE 4G suits buyers who value a detailed OLED display and a slim body; its trade-off is low battery capacity. Its overall NeoScore is 5.1, and its specifications as a whole are typical of phones launched around the same time.
The 6.5-inch display has a 1080 × 2400 px resolution and 405 ppi pixel density. That density is higher than on most phones of its time, a plus for buyers who prioritize fine detail in text and images. At 7.5 mm thick, the phone’s profile is among the best of its time, while its 180 g weight is lower than most. The display uses OLED technology, and the operating system is HarmonyOS 5.
This version pairs 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage with a Huawei Kirin 710A. Its AnTuTu result of 130,000 is lower than that of most phones of its time. The 64 MP camera resolution is higher than on most, though its f/1.9 aperture is worse than that of most phones from the same period. The rear camera set also includes ultrawide, macro, and depth cameras; video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps.
Its 3800 mAh battery capacity is among the weakest of its time, while 66 W charging is better than most. Overall, the Huawei nova 8 SE 4G is a stronger fit for buyers focused on display detail and a slim design than for those prioritizing battery capacity or performance.
