Editorial report
Huawei Nova 8 SE High 8 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet
The Huawei Nova 8 SE High suits buyers who put a strong display and fast charging ahead of battery capacity: its 3,800 mAh battery holds less charge than most phones launched around the same time. That is the central trade-off, with 66 W charging among the best of its time but battery capacity worse than most.
The 6.53-inch OLED display has 1080 × 2400 pixels and 409 ppi, giving it a higher pixel density than most phones launched around the same time. Its display and design are among the best of their time; the phone is 7.5 mm thick and weighs 178 g. The 8 GB of RAM is more than most phones of its time offer, and this configuration has 128 GB of storage. Its AnTuTu v8 score of 415,000 is better than most, and performance is better than that of most phones launched around the same time.
The camera is above average, with 64 MP resolution higher than most phones launched around the same time; its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than most.
