Two new midrange smartphones from Huawei have arrived in the Philippines: the Huawei nova 12 SE and nova 12i. Both come with sleek designs, 108MP main cameras, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 platform.
The pair share significant specifications including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage, 108MP f/1.9 main cameras at the back, 4G connectivity, and EMUI 14 OS.
The Huawei nova 12 SE has a slightly smaller 6.67-inch 2400 x 1080 90Hz display, but is equipped with an OLED panel. Its main camera is backed by an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide, a 2MP f/2.4 macro, and a 32MP f/2.45 front-facing camera. It is powered by a 4,500mAh battery that supports 66W Huawei SuperCharge Turbo 2.0 charging.
