Reviews for the Huawei Nova 12 SE

HUAWEI nova 12 SE Review
Source: Yugatech English EN→zh-CN
Now let’s talk about the price. The HUAWEI nova 12 SE retails for PHP 15,999. And in its own right, it makes an impression with more than capable cameras, sleek design, and superb fast charging. But in a crowded market like this, it just doesn’t do enough to stand out. Compared to the competition, it honestly feels a bit behind the curve. Ultimately, the nova 12 SE’s biggest weakness is its rather old chipset. It almost feels like a missed opportunity for Huawei. A newer chip could have boosted performance across the board, potentially even unlocking better camera capabilities on a whole new level. As it stands, the nova 12 SE is a frustrating case of wasted potential. While it definitely has the makings of a solid mid-ranger, the dated chipset holds it back significantly. If you prioritize better performance for the same price, you’d be wise to look elsewhere. However, if you are enticed with the phone’s sleek profile and design or captivated by its camera prowess, then the nova 12 SE looks to be a convenient alternative.

Huawei Nova 12 SE Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English EN→zh-CN
The Huawei Nova 12 SE is a smartphone that is designed to impress people and it surely does with beautiful craftsmanship and design. You could even say it’s an 8/10 in terms of pure looks, but we can’t say the same about the internals. It has a decently good display but it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Other smartphones in the same price range provide a much higher refresh rate. The same goes for the chipset, battery, and charging capabilities, which are far better in other smartphones. That’s not to say that the ones in this smartphone are bad, it’s just that the competition is a lot better and has better prices. The only main selling points of this smartphone are its design and camera and they are good. For all that it provides, is the pricing of this smartphone justified? No, but if you can find the smartphone at a discount, then it could be worth it.

只有较少的手机有很大的屏幕。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
