Huawei's products are confusing because many of them have similar names, but this time I would like to introduce his HUAWEI nova 2.

Even in Japan, Huawei has become so popular and popular that "SIM-free smartphones are called Huawei." If you're looking for information about your smartphone, you'll never miss the Huawei text.

In fact, Huawei has the largest share of sales in the Japanese SIM-free smartphone market.

Huawei is the world's third-largest company in smartphone sharing after Samsung and Apple.

As you all know Samsung and Apple, the name Huawei is a company that has only recently been heard more and more.

Nevertheless, before I knew it, it became the world's third-largest megacorporation.

Sales of SIM-free smartphones in Japan have been dominated by Huawei smartphones since about two years ago.

Huawei smartphones have good performance for the price, and there are many products with excellent cost performance.

2-2 Great points of HUAWEI nova 2 from the spec

CPU performance that is more than enough for everyday use

The CPU is a Kirin 659 made by Huawei. This is not a particularly high-performance CPU, but it has a reasonably fast processing speed.

The score measured by an app called Antutu, which measures the processing performance of smartphones, is about 60,000 to 70,000.

This number is low compared to flagship smartphones, but it is a processing speed that is not a problem for normal use.

It is said that if you exceed 50,000 points, you can use it comfortably, so unless you play a heavy game, there will be no problem at all.

Battery lasts for a day

The battery is 2,950mAh. This is not a particularly large capacity, but it has enough battery performance for normal daily use.

Equipped with gyroscope

Low-priced smartphones may not have a gyroscope, but HUAWEI nova 2 has a gyroscope.

This is a nice point, and having a gyroscope means that you can enjoy VR and AR as well.

I think some people don't use AR or VR so much. However, there is a big difference between being able to use it and not being able to use it.

In the next chapter, we will explain the five benefits of using HUAWEI nova 2.

5 Benefits of Using 3HUAWEI nova 2

HUAWEI nova2, a high-performance smartphone that is cheap, has many advantages, but I have summarized the most notable ones.

3-1 Slim and easy-to-hold body

The biggest merit of HUAWEI nova 2 is probably the slim shape of the 5-inch LCD. Recent smartphones have larger LCD panels for both iPhone and Android.

Until a decade ago, 5.5-inch smartphones were called phablets and were a fairly large category. But now it's no exaggeration to say that 5.5 inches is the standard size.

Certainly, smartphones equipped with a large LCD are very easy to see and are useful when browsing and watching videos, but I think that there is a big handicap in terms of portability.

HUAWEI nova 2 fits in your pocket

It is said that many women carry their smartphones in their bags and touch them with both hands when handling them. Therefore, most people do not have any trouble even with a large smartphone.

However, on the other hand, many men carry their smartphones in their pockets and handle them with one hand, so they tend to dislike smartphones that are too large.

HUAWEI nova2 is a size that can be easily put in your pocket and operated with one hand.

What's more, the HUAWEI nova 2 is extremely slim and compact compared to smartphones with the same 5-inch size.

It can be said that it is a perfect smartphone for those who are disgusted with the big screen smartphones these days and those who still have to be compact.

3-2 Astonishing camera quality despite being a low-priced smartphone

The next advantage of HUAWEI nova2 is that both the front camera and the rear camera are wonderful.

First of all, the main rear camera is equipped with a double lens despite its cheap price range. Double lenses come with two lenses, but each company has them on smartphones in the high-spec price range.

The double lens for smartphones in this price range is a little surprising. No other Huawei smartphone is equipped with a double lens despite being so cheap.

Achieves an optical zoom that does not deteriorate

The HUAWEI nova 2 double-lens camera is equipped with two lenses with different angles of view, a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens.

What is good about the different angles of view is that the 2x zoom can be made optical.

If you want to take a wide range, you can switch to a wide-angle lens, and if you want to zoom more, you can switch to a telephoto lens with a single tap.

This realizes an optical zoom that does not deteriorate like a digital camera, rather than simply cutting and enlarging the screen like a digital zoom.

Blur the background of the subject!

HUAWEI's flagship smartphone camera is equipped with a function to blur the background as if it was taken with a digital SLR camera.

The cheap HUAWEI nova 2 also has the ability to blur the background.

By having two lenses, the photo is computer-processed so that the in-focus part is clearly captured and the other backgrounds are smoothly blurred.

A photo with a beautifully blurred background, such as that taken with a single-lens reflex camera, will make the subject look beautiful and will be a very fashionable photo.

Basically, you can't take a photo with a blurred background with a smartphone, but with the HUAWEI nova 2 equipped with two lenses, you can take a soft photo with the background blur.

I think it's pretty good to be able to take pictures with a blurred background at this price. It is a perfect smartphone to aim for Instagram.

The sub camera also looks beautiful

Although it is an inner sub camera, it has a 20-megapixel sensor. 20 million pixels is a performance that exceeds the flagship models of each company these days. It is a fairly high-definition image quality.

Until a while ago, the image quality of the front camera wasn't good for flattery smartphones, so when I took a selfie, it turned out to be quite rough.

However, the front camera of HUAWEI nova 2 has 20 million pixels, so you can take insanely high-definition selfies.

Since the selfie boom is booming these days, I think some people say that the front camera is more important than the rear camera.

Please take beautiful pictures to be posted on Facebook and Instagram with this smartphone camera.

3-3 Large capacity RAM and ROM

HUAWEI nova 2 is not a flagship but a price range from entry to midrange, but it is also attractive that it has a lot of ROM and RAM capacity. RAM is 4GB and ROM is 64GB.

For example, there is a flagship model called Mate 9 of the same HUAWEI, but it has exactly the same RAM and ROM capacity as this smartphone.

The more RAM you have, the more heavy apps you launch, and the more they work. On the other hand, the more ROM you have, the more photos, videos, music, etc. can be stored.

The RAM of smartphones in this price range is about 2GB, and most of the ROMs have about 32GB, so it can be said that it has a large capacity for the price.

It is very attractive to have the same RAM and ROM as the flagship smartphone about a year ago.

3-4 Insanely quick fingerprint authentication

HUAWEI nova2 is equipped with a fingerprint authentication function despite being a cheap smartphone.

If it is a flagship, fingerprint authentication is installed in most models, but it is a very convenient function.

If your model does not have fingerprint authentication, you will have to enter your PIN to unlock it, but if you have a fingerprint authentication function, you can just touch the sensor without entering your PIN. , The lock is released.

Huawei has been selling smartphones equipped with a fingerprint authentication function from early on, and it is characterized by being good at fingerprint authentication technology. Therefore, the fingerprint authentication technology of HUAWEI nova 2 is also wonderful.

The moment you touch the fingerprint sensor, it will be unlocked in an instant with almost no waiting. The point that it is more important than you can imagine is that it switches suddenly in this moment. You can use your smartphone comfortably without stress.

In the next chapter, we will explain the three disadvantages and prices of HUAWEI nova 2.

3-5 You can use any cheap SIM of docomo, au, Softbank series anywhere

The band of radio waves that can be used for smartphones is fixed, and the communication companies that can be used are also fixed.

DoCoMo, au, and SoftBank use different radio wave bands.

DoCoMo's SIM can be used with smartphones that support the radio wave band used by DoCoMo. However, if you do not support other bands, you cannot use the services of au and SoftBank.

Therefore, for most smartphones, the telecommunications companies that can be used are almost fixed. Most of them have restrictions such as that they can be used with docomo and au, but not with SoftBank, or that they can only be used with au.

HUAWEI nova 2 can be used on any line!

However, HUAWEI nova2 is compatible with most radio wave bands and can be used with all lines of docomo, au, and Softbank.

This is quite a high point. You can also use a cheap SIM that is operated by renting the line of each communication company.

You can use cheap SIMs from docomo, au, and Softbank, so you have a lot of options.

SIM unlock required

However, there is a caveat that the HUAWEI nova 2 sold by au is SIM-locked, so you cannot use a SIM card other than au unless you unlock the SIM.

However, smartphones sold by UQ Mobile are not SIM-locked, so you can use them by inserting another company's SIM card as it is.

3 disadvantages of 4HUAWEI nova 2

I've told you a lot of advantages so far, but HUAWEI nova 2 is not without its disadvantages. Here are three disadvantages.

4-1 CPU calculation speed is not fast

HUAWEI nova2 uses Kirin 659 as the CPU. This CPU is by no means computationally powerful.

Therefore, when playing heavy games, it may be a little sluggish. However, Antutu's score is over 60,000, so it's not a problem for everyday use.

However, despite being a cheap smartphone, it is a high point that it is not a problem for everyday use.

4-2 Not compatible with waterproof / dustproof

Most smartphones made in Japan are waterproof and dustproof. If you should be submerged in water, it would be safe if it had a waterproof function.

However, this smartphone does not have a waterproof / dustproof function. This type of smartphone is the mainstream for overseas smartphones, so it can be said that this is unavoidable.

4-3 Not compatible with Osaifu-Keitai 1Seg / Full Seg

This is also a feature of overseas-made smartphones, but it does not support Osaifu-Keitai and 1Seg / Full Seg.

Many smartphones made in Japan are equipped with these, but since Huawei does not have Osaifu-Keitai or One Seg / Full Seg in its flagship model, it is unavoidable that it is not installed in HUAWEI nova 2. It may be that.

As you can see, there are some disadvantages, but it is only natural for smartphones made overseas.

If you want a smartphone that is waterproof / dustproof and compatible with Osaifu-Keitai 1Seg / Full Seg, we recommend buying a domestic smartphone.

Price of 5HUAWEI nova 2

HUAWEI nova2 is currently sold on au and UQ mobile, but since it is the best low-priced model of COSPA, we recommend using it on UQ mobile, which has a low monthly fee. Depending on the plan, if you purchase with UQ Mobile, the main unit price will be 540 yen monthly with a discount.

Even if you use it for 2 years, you can get it for 13,608 yen.

UQ Mobile is cheaper than the original plan, and you can use HUAWEI nova2 for 13,608 yen, so you can significantly reduce your monthly smartphone charges.

Below is the price list of UQ Mobile.

6-1 Review of HUAWEI nova 2 ①

Rating: 4 points

It's light and thin, so I think it's a size that even women can easily carry around. I have the impression that the battery has a lot of charge for the charging time, which is also very nice.

Depending on the application, the operation may be moody, but considering the price, I think that it works quite smoothly. The neck may be that the scrolling feeling is a little strange.

I was a little worried when I heard that Android is not suitable for games, but so-called popular smartphone game titles can be played with almost no problems or delays.

6-2 Review of HUAWEI nova 2 ②

Rating: 3.8 points

This model, which is equipped with new functions such as dual cameras and optical zoom, has a single score of about 900, which is high performance for the price.

It is a spec that can be done without anything if it is about loading a WEB page or operating a light application, and the camera of interest can also take beautiful scenery with 20 million pixels.

However, due to the influence of the price range, it is a model that is not waterproof and dustproof, so the bottleneck is that it will break if dropped in water with a bad environment.

The beautiful scenery that makes the best use of high-performance cameras is often in harsh conditions, and the fear of slipping and submerging your hands is a factor that lowers your reputation.

6-3 Review of HUAWEI nova 2 ③

Rating: 5 points

Despite the 5 inch screen size, I am satisfied because it can be operated with one hand. The compact size is just right, not too big and not too small, so you can operate it smoothly.

It is a size that fits easily in your pocket. It's also less heavy than other 5-inch smartphones, and you won't feel any stress even if you operate it for a long time.

Furthermore, even if you keep watching the video for a long time, the battery will last for a day, so you can take it with confidence when you go out.

It also has fingerprint authentication, but it recognizes it very quickly, so it's easier to use than a password.

6-4 Review of HUAWEI nova 2 ④

Rating: 3.5 points

First of all, the design is very cool. It is a sophisticated design that is comparable to Apple's iPhone.

It is much thinner and easier to carry than the cheap mobile phones that have been used so far. The next thing that surprised me was the function of the camera.

It's a 12-megapixel main camera, and I was surprised at how beautiful it was, even though I didn't expect it. I like SNS a lot and take a lot of pictures, so I'm very happy with this feature.

I am very happy to have fingerprint authentication on my back. It's easier than the iPhone.

6-5 Review of HUAWEI nova 2 ⑤

Rating: 4.5 points

What I find most convenient to use is the good image quality of the camera.

The double-lens camera, which has become a hot topic in iPhones, is used, so when you find a fashionable item, you can easily take cute pictures even if you don't have a good camera.

Since you can also use the Android app, you can edit and upload the photos you took immediately, and even if you compare the usability with the iPhone you used before, you will hardly feel that it is inferior.

6-6 HUAWEI nova 2 reviews ⑥

Rating: 4 points

I was worried about the high communication charges, so I decided to switch to a cheaper company. I met HUAWEI nova 2 at that time.

I'm from various companies, but I liked the simple and easy-to-understand explanations. It was a bit annoying because it has completely different functions from the ones I used so far, but it's not a pain considering that it will be cheaper.

Is the weight normal among recent models? I also like the beautiful images on the camera. Beautiful image quality has a high point.

6-7 HUAWEI nova 2 reviews ⑦

Rating: 3 points

It's a big display, so it's easy to use, the CPU has improved, and the movement is sharp, and the smartphone I used before is the iPhone 6 plus, so I feel that the experience has become extremely fast.

In addition, since it has fingerprint authentication on the back, it reads the fingerprint smoothly as soon as you lift the smartphone, and I thought it was convenient because it could be unlocked immediately.

The price is also lower than that of Apple, and it is kept at a price that is easy to get out of hand, so why not buy it? it's recommended.

6-8 HUAWEI nova 2 reviews ⑧

Rating: 3.5 points

I have Aurora Blue, but I think it is a beautiful color with a metallic feel and a high-class feel. The size is rather small, so even people with small hands can easily operate it with one hand.

The operation of the volume button and power button is also good. The rounded design and thinness make it easy to put in and take out of your pocket. The difficulty is that it is a little slippery when you hold it.

The response doesn't use a heavy app, but I'm not dissatisfied at this point. The best thing is that the image quality of the photo is beautiful.

There is also a correction function, so you can take beautiful pictures without having to make corrections after shooting.

6-9 HUAWEI nova 2 reviews ⑨

Rating: 4.5 points

The usability of using HUAWEI nova 2 is very easy to use. The design is simple, there is no extra design, the button recognition is not bad, and the sound and sound quality are very good.

The battery life is not bad, and it has a lot of capacity, so it's nice to be able to download a lot of apps such as games. 3D games also move smoothly.

I have never been particularly frustrated or dissatisfied with the communication system. I think the cost performance is the best because the price is cheap.

6-10 HUAWEI nova 2 reviews ⑩

Rating: 4 points

Since it has a fingerprint authentication function on the back, it was an advantage that you do not have to use both hands at startup. Also, although it has a flat shape, I did not feel any particular fatigue even if I held it for a long time at the four rounded corners.

There is a sense of stability in operation, but when running a heavy app, I get the impression that it is a little light. It's a model that weighs more than 140g, so I don't feel it's light, but it's not too heavy for my arms.

Since it is a 5-inch screen, you can tap it with one hand.

6-11 Summary of benefits from the reviews of HUAWEI nova 2

I have posted 10 reviews and usability of people who are actually using Huawei NOVA2. As expected, there are only smartphones with the best cost performance of Huawei, and there are many highly rated reviews.

The good reviews are summarized below.

The highest evaluation was the image quality of the camera. Five out of ten people answered that the image quality of the camera was good.

After all it seems that the fact that a double lens is attached in this price range gives a considerable sense of satisfaction.

The second most common opinion was that it was light, thin and easy to hold. The 5 inch, which is rare these days, is just the right size to handle with one hand. Moreover, the fact that it is more compact than other 5-inch smartphones probably led to its high evaluation.

6-12 Summary of disadvantages seen from the reviews of HUAWEI nova 2

Not many people answered the disadvantages, but there were two opinions that the operation was a little sluggish.

This smartphone is a low-priced smartphone, so it does not have the latest CPU. Therefore, it can be said that there is no help for some sluggish movement.

There was also an opinion that it is scary to drop it in water because it is not waterproof. This is certainly true.

For those who are in an environment that gets wet often, non-waterproof smartphones should be scary. If you rarely get wet, that's not a problem.

7HUAWEI nova2 was the best compact smartphone in COSPA!

So far, we have seen the advantages and disadvantages, and the reviews of the people who actually used it. All in all, it's a smartphone that's pretty good and easy to use for the price. It can be said that the cost performance is an insanely good smartphone.

These are the people who especially recommend HUAWEI nova2.

Please consider switching to HUAWEI nova2 with reference to this!
