The Huawei nova 12 Lite 64GB is Huawei Test's 2024 smartphone featuring a 6.7 inches, 108.3 cm2 (~89.5% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM7325 Snapdragon 778G 4G (6 nm) chipset. It comes with a 4500 mAh battery. Available in the UAE from AED 499.
The Huawei nova 12 Lite 64GB excels with its 66W wired charging, replenishing 30% to 60% in just 31 minutes, and its 50MP main sensor with PDAF delivers sharp daytime shots. The 4500mAh battery sustains full-day use, and NFC enables contactless payments in UAE’s cashless ecosystem. It’s built for urban commuters in Dubai or Delhi who need fast charging, reliable 4G LTE, and a 6.7-inch 20:9 display for scrolling and video—without flagship pricing. Its weakness? The Snapdragon 778G 4G chip lacks 5G support and struggles with sustained gaming loads, causing thermal throttling after 20 minutes of intensive use. In UAE at AED 499, it’s competitive because no other 66W charger under AED 600 offers NFC and a 50MP main camera. In India, where pricing is unavailable, it’s unviable without a clear ₹20,000 or lower price point to justify skipping 5G-enabled rivals like the Poco X6 Pro.
