DETAILS
The nova 12 SE features a headliner 108-megapixel triple cameras, a Snapdragon chipset inside, and supports a blazing fast 66W charging rate — all wrapped in this stylish package. The first thing that strikes me about the nova 12 SE is its understated design. This phone goes for a sophisticated matte finish on the back — which also makes it fairly smudge resistant. It also has a subtle texture that reveals these tiny sparkles wherever light hits the surface.
Looking at the sides, we are greeted by a flat frame that comes in satin-like finish. This design choice, coupled with the phone’s slim profile (at a mere 7.39 mm), makes the nova 12 SE surprisingly comfortable to hold — even with a flat screen as well. Soft edges and rounded corners complete the picture, ensuring a phone that feels as good as it looks. The nova 12 SE rocks a 6.67-inch Full HD+ OLED screen. The bezels are almost equally thin, but you guessed it, the chin is still a bit thicker than the rest. A hole punch notch sits at the top housing its 32-megapixel selfie shooter.
Navigating the device is also smooth albeit capped at only 90Hz refresh rate. The nova 12 SE’s main highlight: triple rear cameras led by a 108-megapixel main sensor. No depth sensor is found here, but the other two lenses consist of an 8-megapixel ultrawide and a 2-megapixel macro lens. The phone relies on the dated Qualcomm Snapdragon 680, a 2021 SoC built on a 6-nanometer process.
