Just last week, they unveiled the Pura70 Series in China, and now its main nova lineup gets an affordable refresh with two new nova 12 Series models arriving in the Philippines. In particular, we're getting our hands on the nova 12i — the more affordable option in the lineup. Priced at under Php13K, can the nova 12i bring much needed value to the table?
