The new bet for the mid-range is the Huawei Nova 8 SE, a somewhat trimmed version, but with interesting features and specifications, such as an OLED screen and 66W fast charging, worthy of a high-end.

Lots of RAM, lots of fast charging
The Huawei Nova 8 SE is a new member of Huawei’s mid-range family, brother of some models that arrived in the international market. Its weakest point is the processor, a mid-range Kirin 710A that falls below its competitors from MediaTek and Qualcomm in raw performance.
Otherwise, it has good specifications, such as a 6.5-inch OLED screen with Full HD+ resolution, although without a refresh rate above 60 Hz. Memories are 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal memory, all this set powered by a 3,800mAh battery with 66W fast charging.
The photographic section is configured with a 64-megapixel main sensor, 8 megapixels for the ultra-wide-angle, and 2 for a testimonial depth-of-field camera. The selfie is configured with a 16-megapixel camera, located in the notch.
At the software level, there is still no presence of Google services. Instead, there is HarmonyOS with Huawei’s app store. At the moment Huawei’s situation prevents it from using Google Apps so, even if the model arrives in Spain, it will not come complete at the software level.
Pricing and Availability of the Huawei Nova 8 SE
The Huawei Nova 8 SE has been presented in China at a price of about €290 at the exchange rate. There is no news yet about its possible arrival in the international market, although we will follow it closely.
