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...because screw you huawei/honor and your policy to no longer let users unlock a bootloader (important feature to me).

      Moj, 23 Dec 2018Well interesting! A8s pros(IMHO): 1-Qualcomm SDM710 "i do... moreHigher resolution doesn't mean better quality. If you have crap pixels, this 4K will look worse than 1080p. 48MP pictures only work in well-lit environments. Otherwise the pictures will look like garbage at 48MP

        Samsung has been at this game a lot longer than Huawei, it is obvious what the answer would be...

            A8s is high margin product with less specs.
            Nova 4 is ever wanted pie.

              for samsung battery was big let down.

                Alien , 23 Dec 2018I don't care for mid-range phones, but fine, I'll vote with... morewhich quality you mean by the way. if you mean high end phones for sure samsung s series are not even equal to mate or p series in huawei.
                i think you forgot when samsung didnt have quality infront of nokia and no one went to buy their phones. new chinese phones are similar to those times.

                im a big fan of sony but recently sony never did a good job so i bought xiaomi and i think its way better than sony.

                in my opinion quality always can be cheaper. oneplus 6t even has better quality than note 9 but its cheaper. it means samsung can make cheaper too but they prefer to take your money more than oneplus do

                  Well interesting!
                  A8s pros(IMHO):
                  1-Qualcomm SDM710 "i do like QC more than Kirin and it has better power consumption"
                  2-Adreno 616 "better in Graphic related workloads"
                  3-Bluetooth 5.0 "with better battery efficiency"
                  Nova 4 pros(IMHO):
                  1-48 MP, f/1.8, PDAF & 16 MP, f/2.2 "probably better pic quality?"
                  2-2160p@30fps "higher vid quality"
                  3-Li-Ion 3750 mAh battery "slightly bigger battery"
                  till here i am on A8s side cause of 3 thing:
                  1- newer processor also better battery efficiency
                  2-better graphic "it is known that adreno is better than mali"
                  3-probably better battery Endurance "newer low power CPU at same fabrication size means lower power consumption"
                  A8s cons(IMHO):
                  1-midrange CPU
                  2-Video Could be better though
                  3-battery could be bigger "look at nova 4 :-)"
                  Nova 4 cons(IMHO):
                  1-power hungry Kirin 970!
                  2-really gyro-EIS???
                  3-could have used bluetooth 5.0 instead 4.2 "look at A8s :-)"
                  and final thought:
                  i still prefer A8s! :-)
                  this DOSE NOT mean Nova 4 is a bad phone but it is not my type!

                    I think punch hole size must be no1 concern. A win on Huawei there.

                      Not even the contest, with nova featuring sensor thats not even in pricy flagships right now. Might be just right beast to beat pocophone that gains popularity by each day(basically whole xiaomi lineup shoots better than non flagship huawei phones). ...at least based on trend of going from text sharing to picture sharing...

                        I will vote for a8s just because it has a very useful always on display that shows notification like whats app & fb msger. Im using mate 10 pro but im not satisfied with AOD.

                            in the past I could say the same but now days Huawei has good spec and quality on price .. sorry for Samsung but nove 4is better in every single aspec you get a last year flagship

                              Alien , 23 Dec 2018I don't care for mid-range phones, but fine, I'll vote with... moreI think people are smart to choose their cellphones because the Spec and price are right. and also according to their needs, why buy an expensive one? QUALITY? they can take care of themselves. who bought it? Who uses it? I think Chinese cellphones are now pretty good.

                                I don't care for mid-range phones, but fine, I'll vote with the Samsung A8s just to get mad and angry some of those blind fans of china brands :D
                                I'm so sick of people always trying to make you like this and that only because it's cheaper.
                                Go open a dictionary and search for the word QUALITY.

                                    Nova 4 is a clear winner. no doubt!

                                      No much to say here, Huawei is a clear winner, with much better specs and Samsung is a clear loser, with... hmmmm... (Y)
