“The Huawei Nova 5T is a powerful smartphone with a lot of storage and a very elegant case. The fact that the camera is surpassed by the current elite of the cameras can be tolerated, considering the suggested retail price of 429 Euros (~$478). Also, wide-angle images and macro photography are additional features, that allow the Nova 5T to score.”

“The Nova 5T nails the basics to provide a highly polished mid-range option. It has a gorgeous design, great battery life and cameras that can even compete with some flagships. Some premium features are missing, such as an OLED display and wireless charging, but these are not deal breakers for most people.”

“It’s really difficult to categorize this phone, as it offers features that place it above mid-range devices, but at the same time it sits below the flagships. Considering that it’s rocking previous generation flagship internals, a good camera system, large display, all of it packed in a nice and small package, the nova 5T is a great purchase.”

“If the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro wasn’t on the scene, I’d be singing the praises of the Nova 5T from the rooftops. The difference between the two phones is subtle, but in our tests, the Huawei was always slightly behind in almost every area. The most significant shortfalls are that the screen is an IPS model instead of AMOLED, and while the Nova 5T’s display almost keeps up when it comes to both colour accuracy and brightness, it’s left in the shade when it comes to contrast.”
