It was decided to release the model to the global market under a different name - Nova 7 i. The device itself will be no different from its Chinese counterpart. It's still the same smartphone, but under a different name.

An interesting feature of the novelty lies in the proprietary eight-core Kirin 810 processor. This is the first smartphone to enter the global market with such a processor. Since earlier this processor was installed only on devices that were produced for China.

The novelty also boasts an installed quad camera, which has a main sensor from Sony. Cameras can really surprise all sophisticated users.

Summing up, we can safely say that the company has chosen a pretty good screen for its new product. He is able to pleasantly surprise any user.

Specifications

With the technical characteristics of the novelty, everything is at a good level. The smartphone is able to surprise with its work and performance. It was a big surprise that the company decided to keep the HiSilicon Kirin 810 processor for the global market. Although, perhaps, thanks to this, the smartphone will be in demand among users who want to see what this eight-core platform is capable of. The rest of the technical parameters are also at a good level. The developers have installed 8 GB of RAM. This indicator is sufficient for fast operation of the device for any tasks. Internal memory installed 128 GB and it is possible to increase it by adding a memory card. In order to be comfortable playing all the gaming novelties, the company has installed an ARM Mali-G52 MP6 GPU graphics accelerator in the device. He copes with all the tasks and is able to pleasantly surprise.

The Nova 7 i performed fairly well in testing. Which makes the device even more attractive to the end user. Basically, the technical characteristics are at the standard level. The processor is what really sets the Nova 7 i apart from its peers.

In addition to the main set of technical capabilities, the novelty also has standard additional functionality, which includes: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5 LE, GPS and USB Type-C 1.0 port. There is also a fingerprint scanner on the side. However, this is now hard to surprise. The only difference in technical characteristics of the novelty with its Chinese counterpart is the lack of an NFC module. Why the company did not leave this module in the Nova 7 i is unknown. Although, most likely, this is due to the refusal of the company from Google services.

Camera

The cameras in the new product remained the same as in the Nova 6 SE. However, this is a good plus. Since the company has spent a lot of effort to develop this camera module. And they got it pretty good and is able to please with its performance. The most basic and interesting thing is the main camera, which has a Sony IMX586 sensor. This sensor is the most popular and has excellent performance. The aperture of the main camera is F / 1.8. The camera itself has 48 megapixels. Quite impressive numbers. But don't forget about the other three cameras that help you take even better pictures. The second camera is equally important and is an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera. She is doing her job well. The third and fourth cameras are 2 megapixels. One is a macro module, and the other provides depth to images. They are also equally important. Because it’s all cameras together that take amazing pictures, not each one separately. This is the whole main point of the camera module.

As for the front camera, there is also a good 16 megapixel option with f / 2.0 aperture. The camera itself is neatly positioned in the screen of the device. At the moment, frontal modules are also in great demand, since it is very often used by it. Therefore, the company installed this camera in its device, which everyone will like.

Software

With the operating system of a smartphone, everything is quite difficult. The new product has Android 10. However, it does not have Google services. Instead, manufacturers have installed HMS (Huawei Mobile Service). And instead of Google Play, the App Gallery app store is installed.A very interesting and funny solution was provided by Huawei in its new product. It is not known how users will take this, since everyone has long been accustomed to all Google services. And with this device you will have to get used to everything and re-adjust.

However, in addition to the operating system, the company installed its own proprietary interface EMUI 10, which made big changes with the system itself. The first thing that has changed is the graphical execution of all elements. And also the interface saved the device from unnecessary garbage and unnecessary applications. Therefore, the result is a well-performing operating system with a beautiful graphical interface.

Autonomy

In order for all of the above to work, the manufacturers installed a non-removable Li-Po 4200 mAh battery. The battery is able to provide the novelty with a fairly long work without recharging. The device itself was equipped with components that consume the minimum amount of energy. Therefore, the smartphone can work up to 11 hours in continuous operation. The indicator is quite good for a smartphone in its price category. However, the manufacturers decided to play it safe and installed the ability to quickly charge the battery in the Nova 7 i. Basically, the smartphone owes its autonomy to the battery, which is made with high quality and has a long service life.
