Is huawei nova worth buying?
jacinto

The Huawei Nova is a good-looking phone for the price. The email app worked well for operating all of our different work and personal email accounts. Text messaging wasn't an issue and SWIFT keyboard is also popular on regular Android devices. Ultimately, for most day-to-day functions it worked fine.

To read or capture a QR code on your nova 3i you have several options, if your Huawei nova 3i has the Play Store application store, look for its icon and click on it. 2- Second step: At the top of the Play Store application store there is a search engine, click on it and type “QR” or “QR scanner”.

Huawei Nova 3e - Australian Review - Ausdroid

It seems that 2018 has become the year of the “notch” for smartphones as more and more manufacturers look to maximise their screen real-estate.

The Huawei Nova 3i is a mid-range smartphone with a great premium feel. It does everything an everyday phone is supposed to do, and it did them everyday without breaking a sweat. Too bad it's haunted.
