Pros and Cons

Huawei nova 9

Strengths

The Nova 9 has a premium feel and unique looks, at least as far as the back is concerned.
The back is made of glass and internationally you can get it in story blue or black
The frosted finish in the back is grippy and fingerprints don't stick in general
The phone feels great in the hand too especially since at 175 grams it's one of the lightest phones at this size
The display has a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10 support, and a full HD resolution
The single downward-facing speaker is decently loud and sounds clean as long as you don't turn up the volume too much
The phone has a 4,300mAh battery that got an average score on our battery life test
Portraits look sharp with natural colors, a wide dynamic range, and a lot of fine detail

Weaknesses

The glossy plastic frame is a bit of a fingerprint magnet
The power and volume buttons are a bit high for some users
There's no ingress protection or Gorilla Glass for more durability
The camera performance is okay but not competitive for the price range
Zoomed-in shots look just as if regular photos have been cropped and upscaled
Night mode doesn't make much of a difference with regular photo mode
The ultrawide camera lacks detail, has a narrow dynamic range, and plenty of noise
Edge detection in portraits is too strong for our liking
