Huawei Nova 8 SE - a gorgeous copy of the iPhone 12 for $ 400
The giant of the Chinese IT industry announced the launch of an interesting and highly demanded new product - Huawei Nova 8 SE. Fans of the Apple brand immediately attacked the manufacturer.

And one could agree with this if it were not for the Sharp Z3 smartphone, which in 2017 fell under the distribution of Apple lovers.

Huawei Nova 8 SE is a very interesting smartphone
For those who don't know what MediaTek Dimensity 800U is. It is a single-chip chip with an 8-core processor and Mali-G57 MC4 graphics accelerator. The maximum processor frequency is 2000 MHz (4x 2 GHz - Cortex-A76 and 4x 2 GHz - Cortex-A55). Bandwidth - 17.07 Gbps. If we compare Dimensity 800U with the popular Snapdragon 855 on the market, then MediaTek is 30-35% slower than Snapdragon.
And, whatever the Chinese say, about new technologies, Dimensity 800U is a representative of the middle class, not a flagship. It is not suitable for games. But it is able to demonstrate high efficiency in working with multimedia and low power consumption. That is, Huawei Nova 8 SE is a workhorse for people who need a reliable and inexpensive smartphone for 3-4 years to come.
And regarding the appearance. Or rather, the similarity of the new Huawei on the Apple iPhone 12. The Huawei Nova 8 SE smartphone looks just fine. In no case will we be throwing stones at the Chinese brand. On the contrary, we would like to thank Huawei for such a generous gift. Not every customer can afford to buy iPhone 12 costing $ 1500. A Chinese smartphone is an excellent solution for Android, which will allow you to somehow get closer to your dream.
