Huawei nova 9 SE

The Huawei Nova 9 SE is the latest addition to the Nova series, offering impressive features at an affordable price point. With its sleek design and advanced camera capabilities, this phone promises to deliver high-quality visuals and seamless performance. The device boasts a 6.78-inch LCD display, a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor, and a long-lasting battery that can be quickly topped up with the included 66W superfast charger. In this review, we'll dive into the details of what makes the Nova 9 SE tick.

Ulefone Power Armor 14 Pro

The Ulefone Power Armor 14 Pro is a rugged phone designed to withstand harsh environments. While it achieves its water-resistant goal, its shockproof claims are questionable due to the glass-covered screen. Dropping this phone could result in a broken screen, as I experienced with previous rugged phones. A 10,000mAh battery powers the device, paired with a low-power MediaTek Helio G85 CPU. This setup yields over 15 hours of screen time on a single charge. Charging is fast, with support for 18W wired and 15W wireless charging. The phone's design features rubberized plastic corners, metal sides, and a back made from a combination of plastic and rubber. While it doesn't win any beauty awards, it's sturdy enough to withstand drops. Other notable features include a 3.5mm audio jack, customizable button, USB-C port, and a single speaker with mediocre sound quality. The fingerprint scanner on the power button works reasonably well but is slow. The phone boasts a 6.52-inch IPS screen with 720p resolution, which feels outdated in 2022. Outdoor use reveals low brightness levels making it difficult to view content in direct sunlight. Camera performance is average, with two cameras (one for portrait mode) and maximum recording resolution of 1080p. Image stabilization is absent. Performance-wise, the phone is not a powerhouse, scoring around 260K on Antutu benchmarks. Most applications run smoothly, but gaming is limited to casual experiences. The Ulefone Power Armor 14 Pro is an average device that excels at battery life but falls short in performance and camera capabilities.
