Editorial report

Huawei nova 9 SE 8 GB / 128 GB / Global / JLN-LX1 technical sheet

The Huawei nova 9 SE suits people looking for a large display and high-resolution camera, though its battery has less capacity than most phones of its time. Its 108 MP camera resolution is among the highest, and the 1/1.52″ sensor is larger than that of most phones launched around the same time. It has no optical image stabilization, a limitation to weigh when considering its camera features.

The 6.78-inch display covers 89.5% of the front, among the highest screen-to-body ratios of its time. At 7.9 mm thick, the body is thinner than most phones of its time, while the 90 Hz refresh rate is lower than most. Fast charging is rated at 66 W, higher-powered than that of most phones launched around the same time; the battery itself holds 4000 mAh, less than most.

This configuration pairs 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage. The Huawei nova 9 SE is also sold in configurations up to 8 GB / 256 GB. It runs Android 11 and has no Google Services. Its camera and display are the standout features, while its overall standing among phones launched around the same time is typical. Its NeoScore is 5.5. It suits buyers who prioritize camera resolution, a large screen and fast charging, and can accept a smaller-capacity battery and the absence of Google Services.
