Huawei Nova 3i review

Huawei Nova 3i review: Almost a flagship smartphone Huawei Nova 3i _front banner                                  Huawei is the having a great year so far. The company recently replaced Apple to be the second largest smartphone company in the world, following Samsung. It doesn’t come as a big surprise though. The company has been constantly innovating with its smartphones, offering the right combination of both looks and features. A good example of this is the Huawei P20 Pro, which is also the first mainstream smartphone to come with a triple-camera setup at the back. And expectedly, it is rated to be one of the best cameras on a smartphone.                                                                                                                                        However, it’s not just Huawei’s flagship series that has made it a leading brand. Along with the P20 series, the company has managed to launch a few mid to high-end smartphones this year that have also got great reviews. Hoping to stick with that success, Huawei has now launched the Nova 3 and the Nova 3i in India.

The Huawei Nova 3i is the more affordable variant of the two, which comes priced at Rs 20,990. One of the key differences here is that the smartphone comes powered with Huawei’s much more modest Kirin 710 SoC, as compared to the Nova 3’s higher-end Kirin 970 chipset.                                                                                                               That said, Huawei hasn’t sacrificed a lot with the Nova 3i. The smartphone still comes with four cameras – two at the front and two at the back. It also supports the much-hyped GPU Turbo technology, which the company claims can improve gaming performance while reducing battery consumption. So on paper, the Nova 3i sounds great for its price, but can it match up to other smartphones in its category? Let’s find out.

Exquisite design                                                                                                    The Huawei Nova 3 and Nova 3i look pretty much similar from every angle. With the two smartphones, Huawei has stuck to the premium design recipe which consists of using a combination of metal and glass. The Nova 3i features a metal frame, which is essentially sandwiched between the glass coating at the front and the back. They also blend very well around edges, accentuating the seamless design. Needless to say, the smartphone looks premium from pretty much every angle.                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                  There is good attention-to-detail given to the design. I personally like the way Huawei has placed its branding near the bottom corner of the phone. It helps the design not look extremely plain, but at the same doesn’t hamper it either. Besides that, there is also ‘Dual Lens’ stated right next to the camera housing, along with the aperture details. That said, the glass finish still comes at a cost. The premium design attracts fingerprints and gets too smudgy.

Buget Smartphone

Xiaomi has a habit of whipping out new phones with category-defying features and specifications, much to the continuing delight of Indian smartphone buyers. This has catapulted the company to the  number one position  in terms of market share in just a few years' time. Xiaomi has made a name for itself with its hardware as well as the custom MIUI Android ROM, which has loads of features and a number of loyal fans. Why is why, the company's decision to release an entry-level smartphone with very basic specifications and the cut-down Android Go operating system came as a bit of a surprise. The new  Redmi Go  might seem weak on paper, especially in the shadow of the recently released  Redmi Note 7  ( Review ) and  Redmi Note 7 Pro  ( Review ), but it's important to remember what exactly mobile phones priced below Rs. 5,000 have been like before now. Phones at this level that we've reviewed in the past have had awful low-resolution screens with ba...
