The Huawei Nova 7i Sakura Pink Lifestyle Philippine Review, Price and Sample Photos
 
I always go for the classic and minimal look when choosing a gadget. But I didn’t imagine I would fall for something so cute yet sleek that is the new Huawei Nova 7i.
 
I got an awesome opportunity to receive the new Huawei Nova 7i which is one of the most anticipated products from Huawei. What makes it different from the rest of the Huawei phones and other smartphones (aside from its multi-colored back cover), is that it is one of the first smartphones that is powered independently via the Huawei AppGallery.

Huawei Nova 7i Design
 
Unboxing the Huawei Nova 7i, the first thing that I notice about this “flagship lite” handset is its dainty color. I got the Sakura Pink which has a subtle ombre color – still looking sleek and sophisticated. I am not the first person to pick out pink but this one really got me.

Equipped with a 6.4-inch Punch FullView Display, the Huawei Nova 7i delivers a smooth user experience – be it by watching videos, taking photos or just by simply using the phone. Watching video is made more immersive with the slim bezels that result in the incredible 90.6% screen-to-body ratio, delivering a near borderless experience.

One of its distinct features is the  48MP quad-camera at the back which produces true-to-life images that produced really quality photos (even at night!). While the 16MP front camera hidden underneath the front display lets you capture your best self (acne scars included)!
 
Huawei Nova 7i Unique Features
 
Kirin 810 Powered Phone 
 
Huawei Nova 7i is powered by Kirin 810, a high-end 7nm chipset. Its CPU consists of two big custom Cortex-A76 cores and six small Cortex-A55 cores. If this sounded too technical, it simply means it works better and faster compared to Snapdragon. 
 
4200 mAH Battery + Supercharging in 30 minutes!
 
The Huawei Nova 7i is packed with large battery juice of 4200 mAH. It is also powered with Huawei SuperCharge support that allows the phone to charge up to 70% in just 30 minutes. This is perfect for those who are always on the go. Certified with TÜV Rheinland, you can fast-charge with peace of mind.

Dual-SIM 
 
This is the first time I heard about this design and technology, but this sounds fun and efficient for those who want to manage and compartmentalize their work on their smartphones. Huawei’s advanced telecommunications technology supports the Dual SIM Dual Active feature which means the device can answer the calls on 1 SIM, and play online games on the other.  I haven’t really tested this feature but it sounds so cool and lit! 
 
 
The Quad Camera
 
There is no denying that Huawei produces smartphones with such impressive cameras. For the Huawei Nova 7i, the 2×2 matrix of four cameras (with different lens and sensor) provides REALLY impressive photos! The cameras are 48MP MAIN CAMERA, 120° ULTRA WIDE ANGLE CAMERA 40 mm MACRO LENS and BOKEH CAMERA,  It allows users to capture wide, clearer or closer photos (with just a few taps on the phone). The photos are sharp and detailed. The camera’s high-resolution allows you to easily crop and re-frame images with minimal loss of quality.

AI Camera
 
If you love selfies and fun stickers and filters, Huawei Nova 7i is equipped with AI Camera allowing you to take fun photos for your travels and parties. You can even record fun videos with it and edit using the built-in app. 
 
Huawei AppGallery
 
The Huawei AppGallery is the official Huawei Android app that you can use to download Android apps.  It comes with full-cycle security and protection, including developer real-name verification and a four-step review process for secure app operation. All apps go through a stringent verification test to prevent developers’ apps from malicious activity. It has an age-rating system to create a safe environment for children, filtering out apps that are not suitable for their age range.
 
Upon setting up my Huawei Nova 7i, the Huawei AppGallery already provided me with a list of apps that I can download to set up for my phone.

As a normal smartphone user, I have numerous apps that I use to make life easier for me – app for email, connectivity, banking, shopping, and productivity. 
 
I love that I can install and connect to my favorite top apps through the Huawei AppGallery. 
 
Gmail
PayMaya
GCash
BDO Mobile App
Share It
MS Office
Huawei Health
Lazada
Shopee
Owto 
Philippine Airlines 
 
For social media and entertainment, there’s TikTok, iFlix and numerous games.

Although Huawei AppGallery was launched in the previous years, I am hopeful that continuous improvement and changes would allow access to some of our favorite social media apps like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Or, this could be a nice gadget to help us “disconnect” for a while and focus on really important things. 
 
The Verdict
 
I am not the type who always go for anything colorful, but the Huawei Nova 7i shaken my preferences in device and design. It is cute yet sophisticated. It is easy to hold – and although the navigation is not the same as my current smartphone, it made it easy to adapt to new functions and features – including the use of the new Huawei AppGallery.

I really LOVE its camera. I am impressed with the quality of the photos that are crisp, detailed and sharp. They are true-to-life, but don’t appear “too filtered”.  The night mode is amazingly impressive. I think this phone is perfect for those who love good photos but don’t always have their “photographer” friend with.

True to what is expected of a “smart” phone, you simply press the shutter button and the camera adjusts to the lighting condition, especially for night mode. You don’t need to worry about adjusting camera settings like ISO, aperture and shutter speed.
