Why the nova 12i
BudgetThe Huawei nova 12i is an entry-level budget smartphone that offers exceptional value at its $120 price point. Its strengths lie in a large 5000 mAh battery with 40W charging, a smooth 90Hz display, and a high-resolution 1080p camera sensor. Performance is estimated solely from its modest Snapdragon 680 4G class chip, and it lacks modern features like 5G and Google Play Services, but it remains a very capable budget proposition.
