Weekly poll: Huawei nova 4 vs. Samsung Galaxy A8s

23 December 2018
The two most popular phones in our database right now and two of the first phones to have a punch hole display. What if there can be only one?

Sort by:

Samsung is running out of the design. Now their mid-rangers looks like nothing but a chinese cheapsh*t

      Nova 4 because of the 3.5 mm jack and the camera

        From the descriptions, I'd pick Huawei, mostly because of the better GPU. But the phones seem quite close, so if I tried them both in person, maybe my answer would change.

          AnonD-558092, 23 Dec 2018Higher resolution doesn't mean better quality. If you have ... moreExactly what i thought hence come the question mark!
          And the reason huawei/honor no longer let users unlock bootloaders is another hand down for nova 4.(i forget to mention that in nova 4's cons)
          After all both seems to be good devices.
          Also those were all my ideas and i'm in no way speaking on behalf of all other here or anywhere else!

            Anonymous, 23 Dec 2018I totally agree on this one. Samsung screen hole is giganticNot just the Screen-hole, the bezels on the A8s is pretty thick as well. A flawless win for Huawei.

              specs are similar, so if sammy makes emerald green color widely available , then i'll side with them.

                Anonymous, 23 Dec 2018Nova 4 because of the 3.5 mm jack !3.5mm is history. Who needs 3.5mm if bluetooth headphones are getting cheaper and cheaper.

                      Here's an idea for symmetry's sake:
                      Punch another hole in the screen on the other side and use it for the headphone jack!

                      Make a small bump on the back to fit the jack as well... that would be unique *thumbs up*

                            Chrsjns, 23 Dec 2018Do both phones have the In display finger print sensor?None of them has the in screen fingerprint scanner as they are both using IPS screens. Only OLEDs for now support that feature

                                You forgot an important thing... Samsung screen camera hole is much bigger and VERY distracting. Huawei's is OK in comparison

                                  Samsung did a very big mistake by removing the headphone jack!

                                    Nova 4 because it has a headphone jack and a wide angle lens

                                      3rd answer: they're both too big.

                                        Samsung A8s hands down. Premium vs Chinese quality.
