The UnboxingTN Verdict
out of 100
The Nova 8i offers versatile cameras and NFC, but its modest performance, 60Hz display, and dated software limit the experience.
What is good
- 64 MP wide and 8 MP ultrawide cameras broaden shooting options.
- NFC, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0 provide useful connectivity.
- 6/8GB RAM and 128GB storage provide practical capacity.
What is not
- Snapdragon 662 performance is modest for demanding tasks.
- The 4300 mAh battery is a notable weakness.
- Android 10 and the 60Hz IPS TFT display feel dated.
