What we like about Huawei nova 10 SE (8GB + 128GB)

  • Vibrant 6.67-inch OLED display with 90Hz refresh rate and high brightness
  • Extremely fast 66W SuperCharge (0 to 100% in roughly 38–50 minutes)
  • Sleek and lightweight design (7.39mm thin) with a premium matte finish
  • Impressive 108MP main camera for detailed daytime photos and portrait mode
  • Solid battery endurance, typically lasting a full day with moderate use
  • Fast and reliable side-mounted fingerprint scanner

What we don't like about Huawei nova 10 SE (8GB + 128GB)

  • Lack of native Google Mobile Services (GMS), requiring workarounds for many apps
  • Underpowered Snapdragon 680 processor for its price category, leading to occasional lags in gaming
  • No support for 5G connectivity; limited to 4G LTE
  • Video recording limited to 1080p at 30fps with no 4K support or stabilization
  • No microSD card slot for storage expansion
  • Single mono speaker setup rather than stereo speakers
  • Software experience can feel cluttered with bloatware and complex gesture controls

Verdict

The Huawei Nova 10 SE (8GB + 128GB) is a sleek, mid-range 4G smartphone, featuring a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a stylish, ultra-thin 7.4mm design. A key pro is its versatile 108MP high-resolution main camera system and impressive 66W wired SuperCharge support, which can fully charge the 4500mAh battery in approximately 38 minutes. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680G 4G processor and runs on EMUI 12. Major cons, however, include the lack of pre-installed Google Mobile Services (GMS), the absence of 5G connectivity, no expandable storage via a microSD card slot, and no 3.5mm headphone jack.
