Huawei Nova 9 test - does Huawei still deserve a chance?

Podczas hucznej prezentacji Novy 9, czy to wśród dziennikarskiego briefingu czy też globalnej premiery, przedstawiciele Huaweia często określali tego smartfona mianem "flagowca Lite".This may surprise and even have fun, but it is not so unjustified at all. Producent przekonuje, że Nova 9 robi zdjęcia na poziomie flagowców.And indeed, the phone in this segment is doing very well, but not always and not in all situations.However, it must be honestly said that the use of flagship components in a smartphone, which is not from the highest price, must take place at the expense of other specifications.

Huawei Nova 9 is an innovative camera

Huaweia representatives say that Nova 9 was equipped with a camera at the flagship level.I will not fully agree with this, although the smartphone can really take beautiful photos and there are some interesting functions in it. Przede wszystkim Huawei przeszedł z konfiguracji RGGB na filtr RYYB.It may look more complicated at first glance than it really is.The Chinese manufacturer simply turned green pixels into yellow.This procedure, according to official data, allowed to register by 40 percent.more light than in the case of an RGGB filter.This is noticeable when taking pictures at night or simply in poor light.

The main camera is a 50 MP Ultra Vision lens, which distinguishes the use of a large sensor 1/1.56 inches from the competition.It is assisted by the Ultra wide -angle matrix, Macro and the lens for measuring depth. Mamy tu zatem konfigurację czterech aparatów, gdy konkurencja zwykle oferuje o jeden mniej.The quality of the photos is not only affected by the amount of megapixels, but also their size and algorithms that "embellish" the photographs, after taking a photo.

Trzeba przyznać, że tym razem Huawei postanowił zastosować agresywne programy do obróbki obrazu.This can only be seen for a moment, when after taking the photo you go to the gallery very quickly to check the photographs.The photo is "ground" for a few fractions of a second by algorithms, to finally spit out the end result, which is much better than what we could see in the previously in the preview. Zdjęcia zrobione Huaweiem Novą 9 oceniam bardzo pozytywnie, choć mogłyby nie przypaść do gustu osobom, którym bardziej zależy na "surkówkach", by samemu móc je później edytować.Here, the final result is not negotiable, and algorithms are responsible for everything.

Huawei Nova 9 can compete with flagships

Huawei mainly advertises the Novy 9 camera and draws attention to its capabilities.For me, the display that I would not expect on the phone from this price shelf is more interesting.I am a fan of rounded screens in smartphones, which is why I visually Nova 9 I liked it immediately. Oprócz o walory estetyczne, Huawei zadbał także o jakość. Smartfon został zaopatrzony w 6,57 calowy wyświetlacz OLED z częstotliwością odświeżania 120 Hz i próbkowaniem dotykowym 300 Hz.It generates over a billion colors.The quality of the displayed image Nova 9 is not inferior to the flagships.

Huawei Nova 9 is the most beautiful phone on the market?

It is hard to say clearly.Huawei Nova 9 is certainly included in smartphones that stand out with aesthetics from the competition.In addition to the aforementioned, curved screen, the Creators tried to make an aluminum frame.It would be welcome with more durable metal, but then it would be harder to achieve such low weight. Huawei Nova 9 waży jedynie 175 gram.It is also an incredibly slender phone. Tył ma pokryty chropowatym tworzywem i w ciekawy sposób odbija światło, co na niebieskim egzemplarzu pozwala zobaczyć namiętny taniec fioletu, żółci a pod odpowiednim kątem również zieleni.

Although I have already written about cameras, it is also worth mentioning the island on which they are located. Huawei w tym przypadku postawił na kształt dużej piguły.Unfortunately, it protrudes much above the level of the housing, which makes the phone on the desk winning, like a ship in a rough sea.The case attached to the model only minimally reduces this phenomenon.

Huawei Nova 9 - still has a problem with applications

Od maja 2019 roku Huaweia trawi nieustannie jeden i ten sam problem.With being on the American "Entity List", the Chinese company cannot implement Google services to its smartphones. W związku z tym na ich urządzeniach brakuje wielu newralgicznych aplikacji.Although Huawei is dynamically developing his own mobile services and boasts that more and more developers cooperate with their platform, the choice of application is still not even similar to the Android smartphones offered by other smartphones.

Wyszukiwarka Petal jest wyspecjalizowana w znajdowaniu instalatorów aplikacji w formacie apk, dlatego możliwe jest pobranie Facebooka, Instagrama, Messengera i wielu innych.It is not convenient or intuitive and can be difficult for some people.Unfortunately, there is also no guarantee that the application downloaded in this way will work properly.Some of them are so strongly related to Google services that they will not be able to use them anyway.There are also many banking applications.Other manufacturers have accustomed me to the fact that when I go to the store I only take a smartphone, because I can pay it comfortably.This made me during the Huaweia Novy 9 testing I had to go back to the wallet once.

Huawei had to make some concessions

As I mentioned earlier, placing the camera and display from the top shelf on the phone, which is not a flagship, had to take place at the expense of other specifications. Huawei Nova 9 nie posiada głośnika stereo, co niestety można wyraźnie usłyszeć.The sound coming out of the device is quiet, tiles, you can easily obscure the loudspeaker hole and the quality itself leaves much to be desired.

The Novy 9 processor does not impress either.Huawei reached for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G medium shelf chipset.This is another concession that the Chinese producer had to go to.What's more, the smartphone is not able to connect to the 5G network, despite the fact that the module is integrated with a built -in processor.

Autorskie oprogramowanie Huaweia HarmonyOS nadal jest ekskluzywne dla chińskich posiadaczy smartfonów tego producenta.Although the operating system has already hit Europe in tablets, it has not yet appeared on mobile phones. Huawei Nova 9 działa na Androidzie 11 z nakładką EMUI, choć na chińskim rynku telefon został wprowadzony już z HarmonyOS.Huaweia representatives were unable to answer the question when their system will be available globally on smartphones.

Huawei Nova 9 - Fast charging and poor battery

Huawei Nova 9 has been equipped with a 4300 mAh battery, which can be charged with a maximum power of 66W.The 66W adapter and the cable are attached to the smartphone and are in the box from the novelty. Telefon bardzo szybko ładuje się do pełna bez zbytniego nagrzewania.

Battery work may raise reservations.With a cell with such a capacity, the new smartphone should work without any obstacles on a single charge.Here it happened that I had to connect the phone during the day when I used it intensively. Stan naładowania spadał bardzo szybko, zbyt szybko.Most likely, you can blame the battery -control algorithms.

Huawei Nova 9 - Who is this smartphone for?

Huawei Nova 9 is certainly not for people who are not familiar with electronics.Downloading the application via the Petal search engine and installing them bypassing the Google Play store sometimes requires combining.It is also not a smartphone for people who like Chinese at more affordable prices with medium -end specifications. Cena 2299 zł w dniu premiery z pewnością skutecznie ich odstraszy.Huawei Nova 9 is directed to people who need a great camera with an even better display, but do not want to spend a cut on the flagship phone.
