Editorial report
Huawei nova 8i technical sheet
The Huawei nova 8i suits buyers who prioritize a large display area and fast wired charging, but its 60 Hz refresh rate and 4300 mAh battery—with less capacity than most phones of its time—are clear trade-offs. Its 89.4% screen-to-body ratio is among the best of its time, while the refresh rate is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time.
This configuration pairs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. It runs Android 10 and has no Google Services, a significant limitation for anyone who relies on Google apps and services. The rear camera’s 64 MP resolution is higher than that of most phones of its time, but its f/1.9 aperture is narrower than that of most cameras on phones from the same period, and it has no optical image stabilization. There is also an 8 MP ultrawide camera. Wired fast charging reaches 66 W, more power than most phones of its time offer.
Dual Nano-SIM support, a 3.5 mm audio jack and USB Type-C round out the listed features. The phone’s strongest distinctions are its screen-to-body ratio, rear-camera resolution and wired charging; its refresh rate, battery capacity and lack of Google Services call for careful consideration. Overall, the nova 8i is typical among phones of its time, with a NeoScore of 4.8. It is best suited to buyers who value a large viewing area and fast charging more than a high-refresh-rate display or Google’s app ecosystem.
