Editorial report

Huawei nova 8 SE Youth technical sheet

The Huawei nova 8 SE Youth suits anyone looking for a large display in a lightweight phone, though its battery capacity is lower than that of most phones of its time. The IPS LCD display measures 6.6 inches and has a resolution of 1080 × 2400 px. Its 89.3% screen-to-body ratio is among the highest of its time, while its 179 g weight is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time.

Performance and hardware are typical for its time. The Kirin 710 comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Camera performance is typical too: the 48 MP rear camera records video at 1080p and 30 fps. Optical image stabilization is absent. Its 40 W fast charging is better than that of most phones of its time. The other side of that battery specification is its 4,000 mAh capacity, which is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time.

Connectivity is worse than that of most phones of its time. The phone supports Dual Nano-SIM and Bluetooth 5.1, along with Wi-Fi 5, a 3.5 mm audio jack and USB Type-C. Its overall NeoScore is 4.7. This is a fit for people who prioritize a roomy display, low weight and fast charging, and are willing to accept a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time.
