In terms of design, HUAWEI nova 9 SE stands out. It features a 6.78-inch HUAWEI FullView Display that has 1.05mm ultra-narrow bezels. These thin bezels perfectly complement the 7.94mm ultra-slim body to create the perfect slim look.

Samsung Galaxy A52
There are four cameras on the Samsung A52. The main shooter and the ultrawide shooter are 64MP and 12MP, respectively. Then there is a macro camera and a depth camera, both of which are 5MP each. The low light capability of the camera system is decent for a mid-range phone. Coming to the battery situation, although the phone does have a large battery, it only supports 25W wired charging. The design of the A52 is similar to the playful design of other Samsung A series phones. The phone comes in a variety of colours with a thicker than average bezel size and a 6.5-inch screen.
At the time of release, this phone came with Samsung’s One UI 3.1 built on top of Android 11. But as of now, Samsung has started rolling out One UI 4 based on Android 12 to some Galaxy A52 models.
Conclusion
HUAWEI nova 9 SE comes with premium features like a fantastic camera system, fast charging speeds, and it is also a handsome smartphone. For that reason, we do think that it is the best phone you can get for the price.
