Huawei Nova 6 5G review
Here are some of the comments from people about the handset.
- Syer1n: Splendid! I really dig the back pattern & nova logo. Not so much of the dual front facing cam. Either 5t or this.
- Tasty: The red-orange colour looks really great, one of the best colours lately. The pattern however... not so great, looks a bit weird.Would look a great deal better without the pattern. I still think it's an asinine idea to place a dual camera on the front, it looks awful and has pretty much no use. At least they were smart enough to place it in the upper left corner, instead of awkwardly putting it in the upper right. Other than that, it's shaping up to be a very good phone, with no edge or waterfall display or however else you want to name it.
Verdict
Huawei Nova 6 5G is an excellent smartphone that not only qualifies as a good handset for photography but that is also excellent in terms of performance. It is relatively cheaper than Nova 6 and also has a larger display and screen resolution compared to Nova 6SE.
