For many users in Vietnam, 5 million dong is the amount they can allocate for a new smartphone. Consequently, within the 5-million dong price range, there are various smartphones catering to diverse needs of users.
Huawei Nova 3i has garnered significant attention among buyers in the current market, especially in the budget price segment. However, considering its features, is the Huawei Nova 3i a good choice for users? Let's delve into a detailed exploration and evaluation of this smartphone with Mytour:
1. Design: Huawei Nova 3i is perceived as upscale in the budget price segment
At first glance, the Nova 3i shares the same design as the Nova 3 or Nova 3e. However, the difference lies in the feel when held in hand; this time, the Nova 3i offers a more solid and comfortable grip compared to the previous Nova 3e. The rounded corners maintain a soft and gentle curvature, ensuring the most comfortable grip even during prolonged usage.
However, due to its slightly large size and glossy glass surface, the device can sometimes feel slippery. Moreover, it's prone to fingerprint smudges, so to keep the back in pristine condition, using a case is advisable.
Nova 3i is crafted with a solid metal frame combined with two glossy glass panels. The device boasts a 6.3-inch display with a rabbit ear design, following the trend. The nano-SIM tray is placed on the left side, while the power button and volume rocker are situated on the right. On the top lies the secondary microphone, while the bottom edge features a 3.5mm headphone jack, primary microphone, speaker, and microUSB port.
On the back, we find a protruding dual-camera setup, LED flash, and a fingerprint sensor similar to what the Nova 3/3e offer. The device comes in two variants: Glossy Black and Iris Purple 9 (Blue-violet), which can change color depending on the angle of light, presenting a stunning effect.
2. Display Evaluation of Huawei Nova 3i Phone Screen
Nova 3i features a 6.3-inch FullView display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, occupying up to 81% of the front surface area thanks to the notch at the top. This display boasts FullHD+ resolution and a pixel density of up to 409ppi.
Furthermore, you can customize the resolution to reduce it to HD+ (1560 x 720 pixels) or enable the 'Smart Resolution' mode to save battery. Additionally, there's an option to adjust the color mode from Normal to Vivid, or the color temperature from Default to Warm or Cool. If you're not a fan of the notch, Nova 3i also supports hiding it by displaying a black strip or splitting the screen to use two apps simultaneously.
Hence, through real-world experience, Huawei Nova 3i offers excellent display quality, even when used under bright sunlight.

Huawei equips Nova 3i with the Kirin 710 chip featuring 8 cores, clocked at 2.2 GHz, and Mali-G51 graphics core. Everyday tasks such as screen swiping, app launching, multitasking, and more hardly pose any challenge to the device. Everything is handled smoothly and swiftly, with phenomena like lag and delay being non-existent.
Regarding multitasking capabilities, Nova 3i excels with its 4GB RAM. We tested running two games, Asphalt 9 and Garena Free Fire, and the device ran smoothly. PUBG Mobile also runs without issues, but it's advisable to keep it at medium settings for smoother frame rates.
