Huawei Nova 8i
Huawei Nova 8i is one of the most affordable entry-level smartphones that you can get from the brand, which features a nice design and understated appeal. You still get the same plastic body and frame that is popular in this price range due to its low cost and lightweight. You still get a lot of rigidity and damage protection against falls and scratches. The rear panel has been curved around the edges and the sides to make it easier to hold. The camera module is pretty large and sits above the centre of the rear panel, inside a large circular boundary that surrounds smaller circles that host the camera sensor and the flash unit.
