Huawei has introduced a new version of the Nova 8 SE — now with a 4G chipset.
The new Huawei Nova 8 SE 4G is essentially the same as the 5G model that came out a year ago. Only this time, it uses a way outdated Kirin 710A processor. But if you can get past that, this device is actually quite nice.

For one, it has a colorful 6.5-inch OLED screen, with an in-display fingerprint scanner, but no high refresh rate. It also boasts an ultra-fast 66W charging for its 3,800mAh battery and runs on the brand’s own HarmonyOS 2.0.
On the back, we have a quad-camera setup led by a 64-megapixel main shooter, joined by an ultra-wide and two 2-megapixel sensors.

The Huawei Nova 8 SE 4G is now available in China for CNY2,099 (around Php16,600), international release is yet to be confirmed.
