Cloudfone Next Infinity Quattro advantages- Better GPU, nicer selfie cameras, bigger battery capacity, 700MHz LTE, HiFi DAC, more affordable
Huawei Nova 2i advantages - Sharper display, main camera specs, more mature UI, dual microphones

The Nova 2i is an outstanding phone for the price. But, on paper, it seems like the Next Infinity Quattro is the better buy.

Why? Despite having the lower res screen, the Quattro has the faster chip, better GPU for gaming larger battery life, bigger front camera resolution, 700MHz LTE support, and the cheaper price tag. Quattro's custom UI is now better than ever and has newer features in it. 

However, it will still be very hard to bet against the proven and tested EMUI skin of the Nova 2i. The Nova 2i could also be the photography phone to beat due to its robust camera features and controls.

We'll do an actual comparison in the next few days!
