WORST PHONE EVER
I bought Huawei Nova 8i 2 years ago and nothing is fixed after.
Let's start:
1. You cannot paste a password to WIFI Password section, you have to write by hand
2. There is no Google Play, official market AppGallery is full of ads, you have to wait at least 5 seconds and you cannot download many helpful apps.
3. So many apps use maps inside the app, especially the courier / online shopping apps. You cannot see the map because google services is not supported in Huawei.
4. You can use parralel space apps like Gbox or Gspace to access google services, but they are creating a clone phone inside your phone, which is so slow and possible to crash or freeze.
5. Some bank apps use google services too, so your only option is to use these parralel space apps to access your bank account. Some apps can think you are not using secure connection and they can block your access.
6. Some apps such as Mcdonalds have security steps so they understand that you use a parralel space app and they block your access.
7. Sometimes whatsapp messages are not coming on time even though you disabled the battery optimization, background data restriction etc.
8. You cannot use the google assistant, so you cannot use the voice commands.
9. My GPS started to work so bad only after 1 year of usage. It is not working properly, it is not finding the location, it is not updating the location, it is not working with the apps.
10. Taking a photo in camera is sometimes so slow or you may have to click multiple times to get a one (1) photo.
11. Even though camera is not bad, official camera app is really bad, 3rd party apps like Snapchat etc. is better than official camera app.

I have owned a Huawei Nova 8i for almost 3 years now. All I can say is that this phone is such an amazing phone. I captured a lot of moments using the camera. The photos and video quality are good and decent. But the only thing that makes me regret buying this is the expandable memory. Even though at first I knew that it had no expandable memory, I still bought it hahahaah. In the nature of my work, it was highly necessary for me to take pictures or videos as part of the documentation or report we needed to submit. This past week, I have also noticed that the camera is having a hard time clicking the camera button.

Huawei nova 8i is a twin of Honor 50 lite phone, I think it is possible to install Magic UI 4.2 to enjoy Google Play services

Anonymous , 03 Jan 2023People be reviewing phones without owning them, it throws me offOr maybe, just maybe... they have references on the internet. From people who actually owned phones. Just like how you do not need to own Pixels to know they overheat since youtuber and other social media exist.

King, 29 Nov 2022One things I've learned about reviews people always ha... moreThis is true because no Technology is perfect. Whatever fault any user would have found in any phone or gadget is not because they complain, but it is because it is their experience. It is helpful to consumers so when buying a phone they already know what will they expect when using it and if they think the issue some users find troublesome, might be tolerable for others. If you can't understand that, then don't read reviews and go posting impetuous comments.
