Huawei Nova 7i Design
The most important aspect of the design of the device is the display aspect which boasts a punch-hole display. But that’s not all. The camera design has been said by many to be an iPhone 11 type. This is something we can give the smartphone a plus for. But the back of the device is covered with plastic, which some think is of low-quality and tends to degrade the Nova 7i.
Display
Huawei Nova 7i passes as good at 6.4 IPS LTPS touchscreen smartphone. Screen resolution is 1080 x 2310 which also is not bad, yet, it is not the trending type as far 2020 is concerned. There is also 398 PPI, scratch-resistant, multi-touch input and others.
Processor
Hisilicon Kirin 810 is present, with 7nm process technology that is designed to make the smartphone operate fast. It is also a 64-Bit architecture-enabled. Furthermore, the CPU is Octa-core. Whereas, the GPU which is for good graphics is Mali-G52 MP6.
Storage
Keeping things simple here, Huawei ensures that the smartphone comes with 8 GB of RAM. No variant on this level at all. The internal storage shows it comes with 128 GB, which can be boosted when the user makes use of a microSD card on the external side. The memory speed is running at 1866 MHz.
Battery
Huawei Nova 7i is powered by a 4200 mAh non-removable (built-in) Li-Po battery that has fast charging features. No wireless charging is available for this device. Good thing is, the manufacturer has reported that the smartphone has a standby time of up to 342 hours, talk time of 15.8 hours, and music playtime of up to 29.4 hours.
Speaker and Call Quality
The Huawei Nova 7i is capable of many things when we talk about audio, video, and calls. Why is that? The sound type is HD and also high-resolution audio. But even if what you play on the smartphone is video, you can still get a good sound. There is a loudspeaker to up the performance of this department.
Software Features & Sensors
No doubt, Huawei Nova 7i is Android 10 OS empowered. This lives on One EMUI 10 user interface. Furthermore, the sensors are fingerprint (which is side-mounted), accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity, and compass.
Camera, Video, and Image Quality
Huawei Nova 7i comes with a 48 MP camera at the rear. That is the main camera. However, it is not without support from three other cameras at the rear. There is 8 MP, 2 MP, and 2 MP camera. Video performance in the smartphone are as follows- 2160p@30/60fps, 1080p@30fps, 720p@960fps.
Huawei Nova 7i Price
Huawei has been silent about this but we hope word will get out soon about this. Speculations have it that the smartphone will sell for about $320.
Verdict
I wish this were a 5G Android smartphone but even though it is not, it still manages to have many useful features that savvy smartphone users would love. It has many colors, enough to catch the attention of perfectionists. It has enough storage space, the display isn’t bad news, and we expect the price to be reasonable by the time it is revealed.
