Editorial report
Huawei nova 9 SE 5G technical sheet
The Huawei nova 9 SE 5G suits buyers looking for a 5G phone with a large display and a high-resolution main camera. Its main trade-offs are a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time and connectivity that falls behind most phones launched around the same time.
The 6.78-inch display has a 120 Hz refresh rate, typical of its time, and an 89.5% screen-to-body ratio that is among the highest. At 7.9 mm thick, the phone is thinner than most phones of its time. Its 256 GB of storage exceeds that of most and can be expanded. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 and 8 GB RAM round out the hardware; those specifications do not place its performance above other phones.
The 108 MP main camera resolution is among the highest of its time, and its 1/1.52″ sensor is larger than most. The camera setup also includes an 8 MP ultrawide, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 16 MP front camera. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. The 4000 mAh battery has less capacity than most, while 66 W fast charging is faster than that of most phones of its time. Overall, the phone is typical of its time and earns a NeoScore of 5.6. It makes sense for buyers who value camera resolution, expandable storage, and a large display more than battery capacity and connectivity.
