With a budget of around PHP20,000, we found it fitting to compare Huawei's latest 5G capable Nova-series device with Samsung's highest-end A-series smartphone to see which phone you should get. Design and Build Starting with the design, both devices look elegant, with the Huawei Nova 7 SE 5G coming in the Space Silver colorway, and the Samsung Galaxy A71 comes in the Prism colorway. While both devices have a glossy finish, only the Huawei Nova 7 SE 5G has a mirror-like effect as the Samsung Galaxy A71 refracts light like a prism. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy A71's glasstic back, the Huawei Nova 7 SE 5G's rear cover is made of glass, which adds to the luxurious feel. While the Samsung Galaxy A71 does feel great in hand, we're giving the Huawei Nova 7 SE 5G a slight win thanks to its glass construction. Display and Multimedia The Huawei Nova 7 SE 5G comes with a 6.5-inch Full HD+ LTPS IPS display, with HDR 10 support. The devices also use a punch-hole cutout for the front camera, the Huawei Nova 7 SE 5G's placement is better, located in the upper left corner of the display. The Huawei Nova 7 SE 5G is equipped with a 64MP primary, 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth, while the Samsung Galaxy A71 comes with a 64MP primary, 12MP ultra-wide, 5MP macro, and 5MP depth sensors.
