Five reasons why the Huawei Nova 3i is a mid-range monster

Beautiful design

1. Stunning design, big display - The Nova 3i sports a metal and glass construction which is not common at this price point. It even has a variant with iris purple gradient color which reminds of the Huawei P20 Pro twilight color.

Massive screen on a small body

It also has a tall and beautiful 6.3-inch 2.5D curved IPS display with a resolution of 2340 x 1080. It has an aspect ratio of 19:5:9 which gives it a great screen-to-body ratio that gets users a good amount of screen real estate.

The FHD+ resolution also puts it ahead some competing phones with HD or HD+ resplution only.

By the default, it has over 111GB of usable storage

2. MASSIVE 128 GB expandable storage - That is not a typo. The Nova 3i sports a 128GB internal storage which is unheard of in this price range.

This is 2x the size of the Nova 2i's storage. If you still need additional storage then you can still expand it via the microSD card slot up to 256GB.

3. Quad cameras - For those who enjoyed the quad cameras of the Nova 2i need not fret since Huawei retained and improved on the Nova 3i. The main camera has a combination of a 16MP f/2.2 sensor plus a secondary 2MP sensor. It has PDAF, contrast focus, Master AI, and LED flash.

Two in front

The selfie department houses a 24MP f/2.0 sensor plus a 2MP sensor with Master AI, HDR Pro with screen flash.

In addition, it loads with tons of camera modes and features which could help you improve your point and shoot or even pro photography game.

This is amazing since it is still at a mid-range price point and you can enjoy great photos.

4. AI presence - AI is present with the Huawei Nova 3i with the help of the new Kirin 710 processor.

AI-assisted back cameras

You can feel the AI's work during photography as the camera suite features as it can detect different scenarios, lighting conditions, bokeh effect and it can also detect if you are in frame or not. It even has AR stickers and 3D Qmoji!

The AI also helps in keeping the phone optimized most of the time. It also has the AI Game Suite also makes sure that your gaming sessions go uninterrupted with notification.

Oh by the way, the Kirin 710 SoC is also a beast for the price.

Monster benchmark scores!

5. Price - The Huawei Nova 3i is priced at PHP 15,990 (PHP 14,990 sale price) which is practically a steal due to it's overall great build, cameras, display and specs.

You will not go wrong with the Nova 3i as it is one of the best, if not the best, mid-ranger right now.

We feel that the Nova 3i can sit on the throne as the king of the mid-rangers as of the moment. We need to wait and see if there are any takers throughout the rest of the year.
