Pros and Cons

Honor Magic4 Lite

Strengths

The overall experience of the phone itself, as in going through the UI, everyday use, battery life, charging speeds, all that sort of stuff has been really great.
Magic UI is actually one of my favorite skins that you can find on a smartphone, it's pretty customizable
You can download new wallpapers and themes to customize the overall look of your phone
The icons aren't too garish or anything like that, not a problem, one of my favorite skins along with One UI and stock Android
Battery life is great, charging speeds are fast

Weaknesses

Photos from the main camera are okay, but they don't have that umph to them which is what I found with like Motorola photos and Samsung's when they just add a little bit more saturation to the photos
The ultra wide camera on the Honor Magic 4 Lite unfortunately didn't meet my expectations, color wise it does seem to be a little bit more saturated but that's about it
Video tops out at 1080p at 30 FPS on the rear camera as well as on the front camera
The 2 megapixel macro camera produces some to be expected low resolution photos
I found myself severely let down by the camera experience on all of the Honor phones I've used

Huawei Nova Y91

Strengths

A mid-range smartphone that offers great bang for your buck, with a long-lasting battery and impressive camera capabilities.
The phone's design choice, a gold finish, gives it a unique personality and style.
The screen is pretty good, with vivid colors and a responsive touch experience.
The device performs well in general day-to-day use, making it suitable for casual users.
The speakers are loud and decent, although they can distort slightly when pushed to their limit.

Weaknesses

The camera struggles in low-light environments, which may be a concern for some users.
There's noticeable lag in hardware-intensive games like Genshin Impact, even on low settings.
The phone is heavy due to its large battery, which can make it feel bulky.
There is no SD card slot, which may be inconvenient for users who need expandable storage.
The lack of Google services can be a concern for some users, although workarounds are available.

Honor Magic4 Lite

The Honor Magic4 Lite has left me with mixed emotions. While its overall performance has been impressive, with great battery life, charging speeds, and daily use experience, the camera capabilities have fallen short. The primary 64MP camera produces okay photos, but the ultra-wide option is a letdown, with mediocre color representation and resolution. Portraits taken with the selfie camera are decent, but not as great as some other budget phones I've reviewed. Overall, it's an average experience, making me wonder if Honor has missed the mark on this device.

Huawei Nova Y91

Huawei's latest mid-range offering, the Nova y91, promises to deliver impressive specs at an affordable price. This device boasts a massive 6.95-inch screen, a staggering 7,000mAh battery, and a 50-megapixel rear camera. The phone also features an 8-core Snapdragon 680 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 90Hz full HD Plus IPS panel. With its unique design and bold color choices, the Nova y91 seems to be a contender in the mid-range market. But does it live up to its promise?
