Huawei Nova 5T Review - Premium Midrange Flagship!

[@TechLineHD]

What do you guys think about the Nova 5T?

[@andriusadamovicius]

If you considering Nova 5T, Huawei P30 is better choice in all aspects

[@HuntaKiller91]

There's a year end sale and they're selling nova 5T for $250 now in my country Malaysia

@@russbell1055 I think, if you have a decent budget go for 2021 or 2022 midrange phones, and I don't know if nova 5t is worth the upgrade from your current phone

Looks like a decent phone for under 300 but I think I will stick with my Huawei p30 that I got on offer for 280 😅. If it had an amoled screen that would be a big plus but sadly no

I've already bought it !

[@Blackcat-fi2ll]

Hey, how is it doing? What disappointed you about it? Please I need to know I might buy it

[@zumik83]

@@Blackcat-fi2ll Now, that it's updated to Android 10, really nothing disapointing in particular, beside not having a headphone jack. Battery life is decent, night mode could have been a little better but definetly it's doing it's job . I did get a little disapointed in picture quality at a party comparing it to a Samsung S9. S9 took better pictures in low light environnement that mine did, but it still is a lot more expensive phone. I really enjoy the ON/OFF feature, as in I chose to turn the phone OFF at 2:00 AM and thet ON at 5:30 AM, thus saving some battery life for the next day and giving it a nice rest and restart everyday. I don't use it for gaming so I never used it on High Perfomance. It's very snapy on default, there are Performance Mode, Power Saving Mode and Ultra Power Savig Mode. The fingerprint sensor is, on the other hand faster that the S9's, and very well positioned, in my oppinion. No build quality issues yet. It starts faster than my I7, Intel M.2 SSD - laptop, at around 25 seconds. And the price only dropped about 14% in the last 4 months, since I've bought it.

[@Blackcat-fi2ll]

@@zumik83 thanks a lot for all those informations, I really appreciate that, I guess I'll wait more for other phones to come

@@Blackcat-fi2ll well I have been using it for quite a few months now, it's actually not that bad. The screen IS decent, BUT, for some reason, my Nova 5T appears to have screen burn-ins, which is basically screen retention. Not sure if it is a defect or something. Also it gets hot when doing video recording for arnd 6 mins and when doing tasks such as gaming. Keep these in mind when buying this phone.

@@calvin. thanks a lot you are the most honest person I asked, but does the phone get unormally hot, I mean it's not normal? And did you try to use garantie to solve those burns? I mean the screen is lcd that is not normal

@@Blackcat-fi2ll I mean it is quite normal for most phones, but for the screen burn-in I don't think so. Maybe it's a defect, not a lot of people have this issue, not so sure. anyways, I'd recommend the iPhone SE 2020, or any of the the samsung galaxy A series, it's really worth it.
