Huawei Nova 2 Lite Hands-On and First Impressions

Huawei Nova 2i was one of the hottest smartphones that Huawei Philippines has ever released in the country and to cater more consumers, Huawei has recently announced the Huawei Nova 2 Lite. It’s a mid-range smartphone from the company that has a lower price of the Huawei Nova 2i but still delivers the features that most consumers want – a long battery life, a dual camera, and an 18:9 display. So what do I think about the smartphone? Check out our first impressions of the Huawei Nova 2 Lite below.

The Huawei Nova 2 Lite has a different but construction from the Huawei Nova 2i. The Nova 2 Lite is light & handy but it is made up of plastic. The smartphone feels handy to hold because of its curves. The 18:9 display aspect ratio also helped the smartphone to be more ergonomic despite a 5.99-inch display.

At the back of the smartphone is where you can find the fingerprint scanner and also the dual lens camera. The buttons are well-placed on the sides too. While the speaker grill of the smartphone is placed below along with the headphone jack and the Micro USB port. The Huawei Nova 2 Lite also features face unlock however, it isn’t as fast as I expected.

Again, we do have a large 5.99-inch display on the smartphone which has an 18:9 display aspect ratio. The display only has a resolution of HD+ but the viewing angles are acceptable along with its colors. The Nova 2 Lite might be an affordable mid-range smartphone but the bezels of the smartphone are thin. Also, the 18:9 display aspect ratio is perfect for playing games as the on-screen buttons in landscape mode won’t block too much of your view.

The Huawei Nova 2 Lite biggest feature is its camera and surprisingly, the Huawei Nova 2 Lite’s rear camera was really good. We tested it in Bohol and we were pretty happy with the shots that we got from the smartphone. Check out some photos that we took using the Huawei Nova 2 Lite:

We’re pretty happy with the Huawei 2 Lite. It isn’t as good as the Huawei Nova 2i but with this smartphone, we got a dual lens camera and an 18:9 display at a more affordable price. The Huawei Nova 2 Lite is available for pre-order for Php9,990 which is pretty competitive.
