Huawei Nova 8
Hey what's up guys josh here if your tech
and this is the Huawei nova 8. it was
announced the last December of 2020 and
after months of anticipation, it's now
finally here
apart from its updated looks it also
packs a kirin 985 5g processor has quad
rear cameras and has Huawei's 66 watt
supercharged support
so now that we got our hands on it let's
go ahead and see what this is all about
the contents of the box are rather
straightforward once you lift the lid
you'll be presented with the nova 8
itself which is covered in protective
plastic
let's just turn that on and set that
aside for now
beneath that is a smaller packet
containing nothing but the sim ejector
tool and the included clear jelly case
usually here's where you'll find the
manual and other paperwork but since
this is a test unit we won't be getting
those on this one
finally at the very bottom is the USB
type-c port and Huawei's seriously
compact 66 watts supercharger
nice now when you look at this phone for
the first time it's not hard to tell
that it's gone through a few aesthetic
changes

Huawei Nova 8
unlike the nova 8i which looks a lot
more like the mate series, this one comes
with a large pill-shaped camera module
that's mounted on the top left section
of the device
the unit that we have right now is
officially launched in the gold blush
colorway the rear panel is constructed
out of anti-glare glass and it also
features this dual sim and plating
process
which is why it does boast this matte
like appearance
honestly, it's a pretty eye-catching
design and we do like the holographic
the effect this finish has especially when
subjected to bright lighting
flipping that around is a large 6.57
inch full HD plus OLED edgeless display
with a refresh rate of 90 hertz and
features a large punch hole style cutout
right by the center which houses 32
megapixel selfie shooter while on top of
that is the speaker earpiece
Huawei is pretty correct with how it
names its display as the nova 8 does
have very thin bezels that curve on the
sides for a more immersive viewing
experience
it also uses an in-display fingerprint
scanner unlike the nova 8i which is
placed on the side
speaking of sides there doesn't seem to
be anything present on the left but over
on the right is where you'll find the
volume rocker keys and the power button
up top is where the secondary noise
canceling mic and dual sim tray slot
are located unfortunately no provision
for expandable storage here
finally over at the bottom is the USB
type-c port main microphone and single
bottom-firing loudspeakers
as for what's underneath the hood the
nova 8 is equipped with the company's
very own kirin 985 5g processor
alongside a mali g77 GPU
it also comes with 8 gigabytes of ram
either 128 or 256 gigabytes of internal
storage and runs on emui 11 based on
android 10.
keeping everything powered is a 3 800
milliamp-hour capacity battery again
with support for 66-watt fast charging
that's reportedly able to reach 0 to 100
in under 35 minutes, we'll see how
huawei's supercharged holds up in our
usual tests the brick itself may look
small but it does look promising indeed
when it comes to the main cameras the
nova 8 uses a quad-camera setup with a
64-megapixel primary shooter an 8
megapixel ultrawide a 2-megapixel macro
and another 2 megapixels that's
dedicated to depth sensing
and although the set of camera specs are
nothing new it's still quite commendable
we'll check each one of them out when we
dive in a little deeper in another
upcoming video but for now check out
some of these sample photos that we took
the nova 8 seems to be another
reasonable mid-range smartphone to
consider due to its premium build
quality and decent hardware
as for the price, we'll make sure to put
it in the description box below once we
get that information but until then what
do you guys think is this something
you're planning to consider let us know
