              This product offers exceptional value for its price, although there are concerns regarding the performance of its processor.

                  after owning iphones and samsung phones and tablets i can say that the nova12s crushes them in these categories: camera, display, speakers, weight, speed of handling and reaction time of display and apps. HOWEVER:::: as impressive as huawei's hardwear is, as crappy are their protective cases. you have to go to amazon to find better ones and they are always shipped from shenzhen, which takes forever. and those still aren't as good as otter box i.e.
                  the weird protruding camera on nova 12s gets scratched easily because it is exposed. this bothers me a lot.

Exact same dimensions and cameras, except the 12s has stereo speakers. In answer to your queries, yes they do sell it here. I'm one of those rare few who enjoys EMUI, and I can handle the lack of GMS just fine.

                      Besides, did they even sell this in your country? And would you be able to live with makeshift Google services that only work 90% of the time because thanks trump hahaha?

                        Would anyone recommend this phone if you're shopping for a midrange Huawei phone with a flat screen? There isn't a lot of other option.

                            Until Huawei has catches up to Qualcomm (at least 2 years away) and starts using its own chips on their Nova phones, this series won't be worth getting even for Chinese customers. Easily outclassed by any midranges out there and only the mate/Pura series are somewhat worth getting

                                    Anonymous, 20 Mar 2024No SD card, audio jack, small battery, no thanks You're stuck with low end/niche Samsung and Xperias with the first two. Wifi6 might make up for the lack of sd card.
                                    But I'll just wait for Huawei's global model that has Nearlink and NanoMemory, whenever they release it.
