Very good camera and screen quality. not very good battery but it charge so fast.

The 5T is the first of Huawei's Nova phones to be released in Europe. It's undoubtedly a excellent introduction to the line, with a great spec sheet backed up by superb performance. We'll explain how in our full review.

The Nova 5T is a must-consider in your list of mid-range smartphones, we say ignore the Google Issue as the Nova 5T is surely in the list of Huawei surely to get updates in the future.

Kirin 980 Processor – No jokes about the processor, fitting the 5T with a flagship processor is ridiculously crazy but makes everyone especially techies love the Nova 5T; Dual Glass + Metal Body – Sorry OPPO, Vivo, Samsung, only Huawei was able to be the metal body smartphone at this price point.

No Gorilla Glass – Huawei didn’t disclose the glass they are using for the 5T, upon check checking its not Corning Gorilla Glass; IPS Display – Visual wise, the IPS panel is simply no match with an AMOLED display.

Unlike a number of other HuaweiSmartPhones this arrived with little fanfare. It is that little bit smaller than some and for a lot of people this may seem a good feature, so what exactly has this latest offering to offer the user.

The Huawei Nova 5T is a superb smartphone camera for the price. Huawei's AI and computational photography lead the market. Its smartphone cameras claim most of the top 10 spots on DxOMark's mobile image quality rankings.

Quad-camera setup; 48MP main camera; 32MP selfie camera; Superb AI; Kirin 980 Mobile AI chipset; Excellent image quality

LCD panel; no OLED; Non-expandable; 128GB internal storage only; No headphone jack

So, overall, I really liked the Nova 5T. The design is good, the cameras are good, and the phone is, well, really fast. The only thing I wished this phone had is an OLED display because it's the closest competitor, the K20 Pro and Vivo V17 pro have OLED displays.

The Huawei Nova 5T is a powerful smartphone with a lot of storage and a very elegant case. The fact that the camera is surpassed by the current elite of the cameras can be tolerated, considering the suggested retail price of 429 Euros (~$478).

fast SoC; large storage; camera with wide-angle and macro lens; good navigation capabilities; good battery life

storage cannot be expanded; USB connection only supports 2.0 standard; mono speaker

The Huawei Nova 5T is a mid-range smartphone featuring a quad rear camera with a 48-megapixel main optic, super wide-angle camera, macro camera and depth assist camera. There's a 32-megapixel hole-punch camera on the front, built into the 6.26-inch screen.

Good suite of photo modes; Pro mode gives full manual controls; Snappy in use; Night mode produces great images

Images are soft close-up; Struggles to focus close-up; No OIS

If the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro wasn't on the scene, I'd be singing the praises of the Nova 5T from the rooftops. The difference between the two phones is subtle, but in our tests, the Huawei was always slightly behind in almost every area.

Good screen for an IPS; Great photos in low light; No notch (but a lens hole in the screen

Performance lags behind Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro; Lacks telephoto camera; Not an AMOLED screen

Under the new name, Nova 5T , Huawei once again markets the Honor 20 , which we have already reviewed. Now a hundred bucks cheaper, the device has what it takes to become an inexpensive high-end recommendation.

High-end hardware; Good battery life and quick charging; Relatively inexpensive; Very good camera

No headphone jack (adapter included; No MicroSD slot; Few accessories included; No IP-rated waterproofing
