Huawei’s latest nova 2i smartphone that comes with front and back dual lens is available from 21st October in Singapore at an attractive price.
Personally, I have seen and played with the phone for a short while (I mean minutes only). I think it has a premium feel and the dual front lens is interesting.
The RRP at S$448 is really attractive. Of course, this nova 2i will not have lens co-engineered with Leica. In my opinion, if you need a large phone with a good body to screen ratio, you can check out this nova 2i.
Here are the highlights of its specification.
The HUAWEI nova 2i comes with a 2-year local warranty and is available for sale from 21 October 2017 at the following retail locations:
- Telcos – M1, Singtel and StarHub stores islandwide;
- Home and Electronics Retailers – Best Denki, Courts, Harvey Norman and Sprint-Cass; and other Independent Retailers.

SINGAPORE, 20 OCTOBER 2017 – Huawei Consumer Business Group today unveiled the HUAWEI nova 2i, a new smartphone that delivers a stunning combination of performance and power. It also features a Huawei first: front and back dual-lens cameras. The HUAWEI nova 2i is designed to keep up with every selfie, image and social network that matters to today’s dynamic consumers with a new immersive HUAWEI FullView display.

“We know what today’s young, highly-mobile consumers are looking for; thus, we created a new device that packs in a set of powerful features to keep up with their lifestyles,” said Mr Cheng Jiangfei, Country Head of Huawei Singapore, Consumer Business Group. “Designed to help them engage with everyone wherever they are in the world, the HUAWEI nova 2i sets a new standard in innovation with its incredible performance, stylish design and advanced camera features.”
The beautifully designed HUAWEI nova 2i brings to life new ways to capture, share and experience the world – all at an affordable midrange price tag.
First-Ever HUAWEI FullView Display
The HUAWEI nova 2i is the first device to feature the new FullView display technology and delivers a high-quality 5.9-inch screen. The impressive 83 percent screen-to-body ratio and 18:9 aspect provides a beautiful widescreen viewing experience for crisp, clear and resplendent images.
A Huawei First: Front and Back Dual-Lens Cameras
The HUAWEI nova 2i’s front and back dual-lens camera redefines smartphone photography industry standards, delivering exceptional photography experiences, whatever the subject matter and setting. The front-facing 13MP/2MP selfie camera takes portrait photography to the next level, featuring a new Selfie Toning Flash which will give users studio-quality lighting for more artistic and vibrant images. The rear-facing camera combines a 16MP and a 2MP lens. Both dual-lens cameras feature hardware-level bokeh for crisper, cleaner and more artistic professional-looking photos, and improved performance in low-light situations.
A Symmetric Design
The HUAWEI nova 2i’s sleek design begins with the breathtaking FullView screen, and flows seamlessly into the soft, curved edges of a unibody crafted from high-quality industrial materials. Each component – the cameras, fingerprint sensor, USB socket, sensors and flash – is meticulously placed on the front and back to deliver a design that is as beautiful as it is intuitive to use.
A User Experience Underpinned by Performance
Powered by an 8-core Kirin 659 chipset, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM, the HUAWEI nova 2i is capable of multitasking several applications while streaming content. The user experience is deeply integrated with Huawei’s Android-7 based EMUI to provide a smooth, seamless experience by utilising machine-learning to optimise performance based on user behaviour. The deep integration between hardware and software means the HUAWEI nova 2i’s 3,340mAh battery is long-lasting. Additionally, its smart fingerprint sensor utilises machine-learning to become more accurate and secure with every use.
The HUAWEI nova 2i also features the company’s proprietary Huawei Histen audio system to deliver extraordinary sound experiences for immersive video and gaming experiences.
