In comparison with the Kirin 659 chip, the Kirin 710’s single-core performance is improved by 75%, the multi-core performance gained by 68%, and the overall performance is further improved. We can expect all these features in the Huawei nova 3i but of course, it is at the discretion of the company to pick which feature to include. While we have fully covered the launch of Huawei nova 3, here are succinct details of the nova 3i.
Like we already know, the nova 3i is powered by a Kirin 710 chip coupled with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage which is expandable up to 256GB. It is equipped with a huge 6.3-inch display which has a 19:9 aspect ratio. In the camera department, we have a quad-camera setup which has a 16MP+2MP at the rear and a 24MP+2MP up front. The operating system is Huawei’s EMUI 8.1 on top of Android Oreo 8.1 and its lights are kept on by a 3340 mah battery which supports the regular 10W charging. Other features which the company promised with the nova 3i are AI features and GPU Turbo. Potential buyers will have to part with about $300 to own this phablet.
