With good looks, quad camera prowess and solid performance, the Nova 5T represents great value for a smartphone in 2019. It packs in a lot of high-end features for its modest price tag, but Huawei has cut corners to make that happen. You don’t get wireless charging, fancy display technology or other premium features reserved for pricier devices, but at this price can you really complain?

Everything is right in the Huawei Nova 5T: the hardware, the looks, and the price.

The Nova 5T nails the basics to provide a highly polished mid-range option.
It has a gorgeous design, great battery life and cameras that can even compete with some flagships. Some premium features are missing, such as an OLED display and wireless charging, but these are not deal breakers for most people.
Ultimately, the presence of Google Play services means this phone will be far more successful in Western markets than the Mate 30 series ever could be.
