通过nova 9,华为再次试图用一些设计巧妙的技术,特别是相机软件来打动人。同时,它缺乏谷歌服务以及对5G移动通信标准的支持。我们的评论发现,Android 智能手机能做什么。

If you are comfortable using HMS but do not want to spend a large amount of money to buy a flagship phone like the HUAWEI P40, the HUAWEI nova 9 could be the right device for you. The Snapdragon 778G chipset can produce fast performance for most situations, while the 120Hz OLED screen will provide a very smooth user experience. However, with prices starting from RM1,999, you can probably get an Android phone with similar specifications at a lower price. Suitable alternatives to the HUAWEI nova 9 include the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G (RM1,899), realme GT Master Edition (RM1,499) or HONOR 50 (RM1,699). All three options have a Snapdragon 778G chipset, but don’t charge as fast as the HUAWEI nova 9.

I like the Huawei nova 9, if I consider it exclusively as a test device. Stylish, thin, light, quite powerful, with an excellent screen, a good camera and fast charging. Many of us have missed the quality of Huawei, and the nova 9 demonstrates that the company has not forgotten how to make these very smartphones – even in the most critical of conditions. But here we come back to one of the most important drawbacks – the lack of Google services negates all the advantages of the device and condemns it to oblivion. The maximum that Huawei nova 9 can count on is popularity in narrow circles of connoisseurs, experts and fans of the brand. There is no hope for mass sales. A pity. The smartphone really came out quite good. I would even like to give it some kind of editorial award, but what’s the point? It will be more of a consolation prize than a real recommendation to buy. Therefore, I will leave the final decision to the buyers. After all, someone will definitely buy this smartphone for reasons I can’t possibly fathom. But I won’t judge, because this is a quality device, no matter what.

The Nova 9 is an affordable phone with a lot of great features, including a sharp and vibrant 50-megapixel camera, a 120Hz OLED display and an eye-catching design. There are some minor issues with the camera and lack of 5G, but the most prominent let-down here remains the AppGallery’s lack of support for some of the most popular apps and services, including pretty much everything from Google.

There’s a lot to like about the Nova 9. It looks great, the display is sharp, and the main camera is a real triumph for the price – even if the accompanying ultrawide isn’t much to write home about. But that’s still not enough to make this phone worth it for the average user. With no 5G networking and no support for the Google Play Store, the Nova 9 simply doesn’t add up for most people, especially in the fiercely competitive mid-range market. Rival devices – especially the Honor 50 – offer comparable specs without suffering from these major compromises. At a much lower price the Nova 9’s limitations might be more forgivable, but as it is this is mostly a curio for the faithful, whether that’s lovers of Huawei hardware or those intrigued by the company’s efforts to carve out its own software space. For the rest of us, there are simply better phones elsewhere.

The Huawei nova 9 is the typical premium mid-range phone that the company releases every year as we found in our review for the Philippines, and is a good phone in 2021. However, the Philippines has seen a lot of excellent phones in the same price range get released by its competitors, and unfortunately good doesn’t cut it anymore. The absence of GMS and its pricing being what it means that its competitors have a leg up against the nova 9 as the phone heads to both Shopee, Lazada, and physical stores for the holidays.

The Huawei nova 9 was made to compete in a highly competitive category for smartphones as mid range devices aim to offer as much value at as low a price point as possible. In this regard, the nova 9 does bring in an excellent quality 120Hz OLED display, a decent set of rear quad cameras and otherwise decent endurance with 66W fast charging to back it up. The lack of Google services isn’t as big a limitation this time around with stable workarounds on offer. We weren’t furnished with the price of the nova 9 at the time of writing but if Huawei can offer this workhorse at a competitive price in Malaysia, it may well be one of the better value buys for midrange phones in 2021. Potential buyers who aren’t as hung up on needing Google apps and are looking for a smartphone with a good display and capable cameras will appreciate what the nova 9 has to offer.

We can't overlook the elephant in the room - the lack of Google Mobile Services on the nova 9 specs sheet. However, as our review progressed, we learned this is not its only shortcoming, far from it. The nova 9 has a sub-par camera performance; similarly priced rivals run considerably more powerful SoCs, all the while Huawei's contender fails to impress with battery endurance. Stereo speakers and ingress protection are also popular features in the price bracket that the nova 9 fails to deliver. The slick and lightweight design and good display won't be enough to attract enough buyers. If Huawei's handset was priced lower, it might have gotten our recommendation, but for now, your hard-earned money would be spent better elsewhere. Unless you are reading this review a couple of months after it's been published, in which case the nova 9 might be in a more advantageous position price-wise.

The Huawei nova 9 is an interesting device in more ways than one, made more interesting still with its arrival to European markets. Just to recap some of the oddities at play here - the nova 9 runs on a Snapdragon 778G chipset, limited to just 4G connectivity. It also boots EMUI 12, instead of HarmonyOS. And, as far as we can gather, it still has an Android core, though with no Google services or apps. Both of these points are just realities Huawei currently has to deal with, particularly if it wants to retain a presence in Europe. And if nothing else, this nova 9 launch appears to be a tentative indication of such intentions going forward. Pricing for the Huawei nova 9 is set at EUR 499 for an 8GB, plus 128GB model, with preorders starting today (October 21) and official sales later this month. There was no mention of a 256GB model at the presentation, but it could be added to listings later on. As far as hardware goes, the nova 9 is actually a pretty compelling and well-rounded offer.

Although some of the users may turn their attention to this phone because of the operating system, it’s not the only considerable point to be mentioned. With the HarmonyOS 3.0 update, you can be sure of its tremendous performance. We also know this is a new operating system so many devices may support this OS. So, if you have any inclination towards this model, you can think of its wonderful screen, powerful processor, perfect cameras, and also quite satisfactory battery life with a fantastic fast charger. The combination of these features is simply amazing for any type of user, be it gamers or movie buffs. If you’re looking for alternatives, then you can definitely take a look at the Vivo X70 with a variety of features.
