Had it for 2 and a half or 3 years now and it still hasn't let me down. Still performs really well and it's all because of that Kirin 980 chipset and the 6gb of RAM 💯.
Same here,2 years this month and it still gets me 6 hours of SoT on mobile data using GPS 90% of the time on full brightness because I'm outside all day on my bike doing deliveries,the performance it's also the same as first day
I wish today's midrangers offered flagship performance, build quality and great cameras for these prices, can't express how satisfied I have been with this phone for the almost three years I've been using it. The cpu still kicks and cameras are also up to put a fight, It's been amazing and I'm willing to use it for 1-2 more years before I upgrade to another huawei device, keep up the great work Chris!
Thanks a lot for a good honest review. I ended up buying the Nova 5t 6gb UK edition (blue crush) and honestly it's amazing. I'm coming from a p20 Pro and s7 edge and this nova 5t blows them both Outa the water. It's fast n smooth.. Looks amazing.. Feels pure quality and the quad camera and selfie camera are like nothing I've seen before, pure class in every sence of the word. Absolute steel at £289.99.
Had this super phone for 2 months now ... 'upgraded' from Galaxy Note 10+ which was one of the most frustrating phones I've ever had to turn on ... fingerprint scanner was dreadful! Now I'm extremely happy with my 5T, soooo easy to use, perfect size in the hand, has all the features that are really important, great speedy camera and best battery life - usually more than 70% remaining at the end of the day! My personal preference ... I love the IPS screen, I find it sharper and easier on the eyes than my old Note10+ AMOLED. Happy to forgo the AOD and waterproofing of a flagship for about a third of the price. :)
@@Blackcat-fi2ll It's a great choice! I do recommend it, but EMUI 10.1 is a little bit problematic.. I don't have Celia and MeeTime. I don't know why..
I bought mine for about $180 second hand, It's still in a pretty clean and pristine condition, 98% smooth. It's got VOLTE and Bluetooth APTX HD codec for Wireless Audio listening. So far so good. A bang for the buck phone..
didn't experience any frame drops using this phone in any game I tested, blazing fast opening of apps, 8Gb of ram is future proof If you're planning to use this phone for at least 2 to 3years, truly one of the best gaming phone next to xiaomi mi9 T pro. the camera is more superb super clear in android 10 update! a flagship level device in a midrange price point ⚡⚡⚡
Does this support the desktop version of EMIU? I've got it on my Mater 10 Pro, but its not obvious if this has been rolled out to all Huawei phones or still just the premium ones.
I bought mine about a month ago, for roughly £230. I really like it, compared to other mid-rangers the Nova 5T is a steal with its kirin 980 and the camera setup. The IPS display is a "minus", but I can live with it if that means that my phone will be relatively fast for at least a couple of years :)
@@thisisnothide5559 it depends, nova 5t has way better camera than redmi k20 pro, it has 102k iso!! Regular phone only has 3k iso, it is really great on low light
Just update emui10 yesterday on my nova 5t. Very smooth and very easy to use look and feel more stock than before emui10 is improved more clean interface than before and less cartoon look.
Hey Chris, i’ve bought quite a few phones at your recommendation but are you doing a giveaway anytime soon? Would be fun to participate :) Also keep making videos, enjoying them quite well !
Swapped my Nova 5t for the Mate 20(Non-pro). It is a better value than my 5t but still I missed the compact form factor of the 5t. So easy to hold and very light. Nice review though. Please review the Mate 20(Non-pro) in 2020. 😀
I am searching for an upgrade from Mate 9 for past many months. Keep struggling to decide between p30 pro, mate 30(coz of Google) and waiting for a newer better phone to come out lol. But I'm almost decided to buy this since the pos. reviews .
It is way way better than picking up a Samsung midrange phone,you have here way better cameras and a flagship processor something Samsung is not ready to offer in this price range :)
Been stuck with Apple for years and i recently switched with this Huawei flag ship killer. I have already been using this phone for 5 months and i can tell that this is a great phone that can save your wallet plus give you the worthy experience for it.
I'm still using it as a backup gaming phone and emulation machine. Kirin 980 is still hella more powerful than Odin lite, base and pro versions lol. Pair it with a phone cooler and the antutu score boosts into 600k plus. Heard there was a custom firmware for it but I'm too lazy to flash it. If only it had sd card slot and hdmi out, it would've still be more than perfect.
Hey there from Portugal. A hint please... Between this one and Samsung a51.... Considering the price in €, being the Nova 440€ and the Samsung a51 390€. Which would be the best buy?
I want to buy this now, what do you say in 2021? EMui and andoird will update tot 11, just released by Huawei. Most important reason: 980 KIRIN, 2x2,6 GHZ and compactness if i compare it to others. Do you think it's worth it in 2021??
Actually considering this too in Dec 2021! Some perks I noted include the EMUI (which is clean and blazing fast), the flat LCD (I have dropped my Honor 8 face-first many times with virtually no damage), and the camera which seems amazing! Not reaally into the new Nova 9 tho... Mediocre SD chipset and no 5g in 2021 haha
@@zabenaleid2547 oh that is great to hear. I am guessing the main issue would be band 600 not working but if the others are working properly that would be great. I really appreciate the reply.
I bought this phone back in 2020 after watching this review. In general I have not been disappointed by the quality of the phone. However, I am kinda dissapointed about the battery life. After only 3 years I now experience how a full charged battery basically does not even last 1 day any longer. I know all phone batteries have a limited life time - but 3 years only? That is disappointing and not what I have experienced even from the "cheaper" iPhone- or Samsung-models. I have done everything to not damage the battery, including not having the phone connected to power for many, many hours, I have not "emptied" the battery down to 2% at any time and I have done all the things that are recommended to prolong the life of the battery.
Guys why does my nova 5t overheat when i play for example for 20 minutes cod. I feel the cameras heated. I also have performance Mode of. Is it normal or i can solve this issue? Thanks for your time
I had this phone for 3 years but I'm looking for another one now just bcs of the storage space. As I'm playing mostly mobile games and i have a looot of apps i barely have any storage but these 3 years considering this phone got on the market in 2019 if i remember correctly, it was too good for it's price Pubg, CoD, Dead by Daylight worked amazing on low graphics and medium and pretty good on ultra(except Dbd) Unfortunately for Genshin players it's gonna lag even on low graphics, at least mine does after 3 years of using it. Overall, for its price it's so worth it
As someone else said this is the Honor 20 under a different model name. I already have emui10/magic ui3 on my phone as part of the beta testing programme and I've never had an issue with it. My son like mine so much he bought one as well and they were somewhat cheaper than the Nova 5T.
