          Kane, 08 Nov 2021Better everything? Not really, yeah that phone is stupid ch... moreFirst off the Note 10 Pro had 108MP withe 732G and that was absolutely fine with photos (I had one). You realise photos use pixel binning by default to make decent 12MB

          Anyway the D920 is the direct rival to the 778G performance. Try nanoreview for benchmarks

          The Nova is almost twice the price it should be.

          OnePlus Nord 2 5G at £399
          Pixel 6 at £599

          The pricing just doesn't make sense.

          £200-250 maybe

Not really, yeah that phone is stupid cheap but Dimensity 920 won't be enough to have good photos out of a 108MP Lens, it's selfie camera is much worse and good luck living with MiUI and those certainly regular software updates. All that being said Huawei always releases Nova phones at higher prices then takes them down for whatever reason, check out how Nova 5T ruled over the upper midrange category in 2019-2020. This phone would easily do the same if it was to go down a little on price.

                    I was waiting for this smartphone from very long what an amazing camera design along with back cover and it's flash. This phone is really awesome, Hope it's temperature is manually controllable not heating too much.

                                  For half the price you'll be able to get the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro with better everything.

                                  Who on earth are buying a Nova outside China?

                                    Got to say, details in binned mode looks better than most of competitors, including samsung, sony,... could be different fov but I did not went into so much detail.

                                      even Samsung A52s trashes this phone for a significantly cheaper price. No screen protection,no IP,no stereo speakers,no google, no OIS


                                      for this asking price? Seriously Huawei?

                                        The reviewer compared this phone to Xiaomi offerings "They are both very similar phones with brighter displays, more powerful SoCs, have ingress protection, boast stereo speakers and are better photographers too." Seriously, he should have stopped there. If Xiaomi products are sold in your region, there is no reason to get this Huawei phone. That lengthy verdict, very sorry to say, is unnecessary. Also, what's with that glaring ooCA branding????
