Pros and Cons

Huawei nova 12i

Strengths

it has good Tools in this case we started our test in Call of Duty whereby default it gives us the medium quality at medium frame rate
Asphalt 9 where we enabled 60 frames per second but kept the default Graphics quality and this is one of the most optimized games so it just goes to show that this device with well-matched games and simple Graphics could really give you a very good experience
simple or well adapted games will work fine
If you do get it I don't think it will be completely disappointing in many ways either
