Huawei nova 12s

Strengths

The same slim 6.88 mm body profile as the Nova 11 but with a new back design
The same beautiful 6.7 in full HD Plus ol display that refreshes at 12
Dual stereo lot speakers that even some mid-range phones don't come with
A really nice unique camera array to anyone who doesn't care about specs
The cameras offer very respectable image quality, especially the front camera which takes up to 60 megapixel shots

Weaknesses

It uses a 3-year-old chipset and is hardly even a refresh of the previous model
The Nova 12s has no official Google Mobile Services yet
The phone's price is unreasonably high at around 2,000 ring
The device lacks support for 5G networks
It doesn't have Optical image stabilization in the main camera
The charging speed of 66W superch charging might not be the fastest

It can withstand extreme temperatures, falls, and has a waterproof and dustproof design.
The camera setup is impressive, with a 64MP main camera that takes high-quality photos in daylight and supports digital cropping to 2x focal length.
The phone has a 25MP infrared night vision camera that performs well at night and provides a unique tone and dynamic range during the day.
It has a large 6.56-inch LCD screen with a maximum brightness of 800 nits, providing an excellent display effect.
The phone comes with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage space, and supports memory expansion to 16GB, making it suitable for daily usage needs.

Weaknesses

The Mediatech 6300 chip is not as exciting compared to the previous models, with only a slight increase in frequency and no upgrade in architecture or process.
It may not be as fast as other smartphones with more powerful chips like Qualcomm 4 Gen 2.
The phone's weight of around 300g may be considered heavy for some users.
There is no headphone jack, which may be a drawback for some users who prefer wired audio.
