Huawei Nova 3i Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Prateek Pandey]()
Verdict
The Huawei Nova 3i retails for Rs 20,990 and for the price, you`ll get a gorgeous smartphone with a high-quality display and an excellent battery life. On the downside, the handset`s price puts it in contention with the Honor Play (review), the Xiaomi Mi A2 (review) and the recently unveiled POCO F1 (review), all three of which ship with significantly more powerful processors in the form of the Kirin 970, the Snapdragon 660 and the Snapdragon 845 respectively.

What's the same?

As we mentioned previously, the Nova 3i is in more ways than one, the same smartphone as the Nova 3. However, the handset brings some exciting features too, including a brand-new processor from the company's stables.

What's different?

What differentiates the Nova 3i from the Nova 3 is the processor backing it. Underneath its all-glass chassis, the 3i is powered by Huawei's brand-new HiSilicon Kirin 710 processor, which coincidentally is also the company's first 12nm chip. With the processor, the company is hoping to rival Qualcomm's Snapdragon 660 processor and Snapdragon 845 processor which can be found on the likes of the Xiaomi Mi A2 (first impressions) and the POCO F1. Other hardware specs of the Huawei Nova 3i include 4GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage.
