Small oddities
Comparing the characteristics of the HUAWEI nova 5T and Honor 20 smartphones, an unpleasant feeling of deception is created. Almost identical devices differ only in the shell of the Android system. Well, with minor improvements in design and management. And what's interesting - smartphones built on the same platform have different performance indicators. In AnTuTu HUAWEI nova 5T loses Honor 20 almost 10 thousand total points.
HUAWEI nova 5T: review
A pleasant moment for buyers who looked at the new product was the manufacturer’s action, launched around the world after the sales announcement. The HUAWEI nova 5T smartphone purchased from an authorized dealer comes with a HUAWEI Watch GT smart watch as a gift. The cost of the gadget in the market is about 150-170 US dollars, so the promotion looks very attractive to the consumer.
Not forgotten and trade sport between China and the USA. All Google services on the HUAWEI nova 5T smartphone work flawlessly. Moreover, in England, and in the USA, and in Russia. Accordingly, the phone is fully compatible with any applications for Android.
To the advantages of the model, you can add the design of the case. The manufacturer offers 2 stylish solutions in “deep blue” and “summer purple” colors. To convey the color in words does not work - you just need to see it. The case, directly, plays with colors and looks great. In any performance. The smartphone is more like a diamond, from which you can not take your eyes off.
For a device with overall dimensions of 6.5 inches, the phone lies perfectly in the hand. Let the gloss is easily soiled, but there are no complaints about the convenience of use. The build quality is solid. It is a pity, the manufacturer did not provide protection against physical damage. So there would be no price for the HUAWEI nova 5T smartphone.
Excellent color rendition of the screen, wide viewing angles, perfect work of the light sensor. No complaints. And even the autonomous work that all productive devices sin on top. 30 hours in phone mode, 12 hours for working with multimedia and 8 hours for games. Not bad. The cameras have excellent detail, nice night shooting, cool selfies for Instagram. And there’s nothing to complain about. Unless, the sound output to the headphones. The USB-C adapter included with the smartphone somehow cuts off the midrange. But this is corrected manually by an equalizer.
