A dude in the signature Edgeless Display look with a thickness of frames on top and on the sides of the screen is only a little more than 1 mm. The model is equipped with a large IPS display with a diagonal size of 6.67", a resolution of 2376x1080 pixels and a built-in 16 MP selfie camera in an oblong cutout. Huawei Nova 8i is powered by a mid-range Snapdragon 662 mobile processor, complemented by 6/128 GB of non-expandable memory.

The smartphone is running Android 10 with a proprietary add-on EMUI 11. There are no Google services in the device's software shell, instead, the AppGallery store and the ability to install third-party apk files are offered. On the back panel of the smartphone case is a quartet of 64 + 8 + 2 + 2 MP from the main module, wide-angle, macro and depth sensor. The model receives a separate plus in karma for the quick procedure for charging a 4300 mAh battery. Judge for yourself, with the help of a 66-watt block, it charges 60% in 17 minutes, and up to 100% in 38 minutes. The owner of the smartphone identifies by fingerprint, which uses a fingerprint scanner in the side power button.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Huawei Nova 8i 128 GB / 6 GB is a smartphone that stands out for its attractive design, which resembles premium models, and its good screen quality, appreciated for brightness and suitability for everyday use. It offers sufficient memory for daily applications, making it a practical choice for general tasks. However, users have reported laggy performance and issues with pre-installed bloatware, which can affect the overall experience. The camera quality is criticized, particularly in terms of photo processing and video stabilization, although some find it decent for everyday use. The Snapdragon 662 processor is seen as outdated, yet it handles basic tasks adequately. A significant drawback is the absence of Google services, although the AppGallery provides a workaround for essential apps. Additionally, NFC functionality is limited in certain regions, and the IPS screen, while bright, is considered subpar for the price. Despite these drawbacks, the Huawei Nova 8i remains a viable option for those prioritizing design and basic functionality.

Anti-crisis smartphone

In recent years, due to the problems associated with the sanctions imposed by the United States, Huawei has not often pleased us with high-quality new products. In 2021, the flagship P50 family completely lost the Lite version, and the models that saw the light of day are not yet sold on the international market. On the other hand, the Chinese manufacturer pleased its fans with Nova smartphones, a near-top series that includes low-cost, experimental, and advanced models, worthy of the flagship title in terms of characteristics. Huawei Nova 8i is the younger brother of the usual "eight" and is a confident middle peasant with several undeniable advantages.

The first is design: externally, the device looks more like premium models like the Mate 30 Pro and Mate 40 Pro. It has very thin, almost imperceptible frames (only 1.3 mm), a plastic case, skillfully disguised as glass and metal, and an elongated “capsule” of the front camera embedded in the display. However the camera consists of one lens, the purpose of the second sensor is unclear. In general, the design of the smartphone leaves only positive impressions, and it is also quite practical, since the back does not slip and does not leave fingerprints. The second advantage of the model is battery life. Despite the relatively modest price tag, the gadget supports 66W fast charging, and now only top-end devices flaunt such figures. The charger fully charges the 4300 mAh battery in 38 minutes, and it takes only 17 minutes to replenish 60% of the energy.

Without Google services

Otherwise, Huawei Nova 8i lacks stars from the sky, but it fully corresponds to its cost. It is equipped with a 6.67-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2376x1080 pixels and a fairly bright and colorful picture, as well as the main camera, designed as a round block, which consists of four modules. It consists of a 64 MP sensor, on the shoulders of which all the main processes fall, an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera and two additional lenses of 2 MP each for macro photography and depth estimation. In general, a good set, especially if you shoot during the day in good light, but at night noises come out. And although this is Huawei, whose devices settled on the first lines of the DxOMark rating, hardly anyone expects something supernatural from a mid-range smartphone.

It is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor, which is a rather strange choice, since this chip is usually used for cheaper gadgets. Anyway, its power reserves are enough for comfortable web surfing and watching videos, but in games you will have to tweak the graphics settings. Google services are not here — this is the reality of Huawei products. Instead, the manufacturer offers a proprietary EMUI shell and its AppGallery app store. It is also worth noting 6/128 GB of memory, no slot for a memory card, but the presence of a 3.5 mm jack for wired headphones and a side fingerprint scanner.
