The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

The Nova 9 SE offers a 108 MP camera and ample storage, but its 4000 mAh battery, Snapdragon 680, and HarmonyOS 2.0 hold it back.

What is good

  • 108 MP wide camera leads the quad-camera setup.
  • Up to 256 GB storage and 8 GB RAM.
  • NFC, Wi-Fi 5, and USB-C OTG support.

What is not

  • 4000 mAh battery is modest for this large phone.
  • Snapdragon 680 limits performance ambitions.
  • HarmonyOS 2.0 is a software weak point.
