              For a pricey midranger with SD625, the Huawei Nova Plus' battery life isn't as good as the Samsung Galaxy C7. Even the C7 is 0.2 inches bigger than Nova Plus. Come on Huawei, do your homework!

                AnonD-510098, 15 Sep 2016Not really, Huaweis cameras are better than SonysI m also a great Huawei lover... But night shots of Sony XZ are much better against that of Nova Plus.

                P9 night shot are superior though.

                  battery endurance is pretty bad for what hardware it uses.even redmi note 3 with SD 650 and all other same specs had better endurance.huawei needs to work on optimisation

                    The battery test scores are out. Enjoy! :)

                    P.S. We will begin publishing GeekBench 4 scores as soon as we accumulate enough in our database for proper comparison. We are putting each phone through GeekBench 4, so don't you worry, the database is growing and will soon be ready to be used in the reviews.

                          AnonD-576060, 15 Sep 2016look at manual mode , there is no grains|noise . unlike the XZ Both phones are intended for different departments with nova plus being mostly camera oriented while the XZ is specifically a "jack of all trades" flagship that has balanced specs. Comparing the camera samples give nova plus an edge but other than that? Just a decent midranger.

                          Surprised that the user comments of this phone is quite underwhelming, seems that people these days only cares about benchmark scores than camera qualities.

                                AnonD-576341, 15 Sep 2016It honestly is, my note 4 has Ditto Note 5/Edge 7 ROM insta... morejajaja that's nice, but keep in mind that comparing 2 phones for the rest of the world (not everyone though) customs should not be considered, especially when someone asks u if they should buy it (asuming they don't know about customization)
                                it's great that u have it custom and it's smooth to suit u so i'm guessing u won't be changing ur phone for a couple years more ;)

                                  They did a good job with choosing the specs but the price! I guess, people are willing to pay the price for the exterior.
