HUAWEI Models Applicable For 1 Year Extended Warranty Promotion

HUAWEI nova Series : nova 4, nova 4e, nova 3i
HUAWEI MediaPad M5 Series : MediaPad M5, MediaPad M5 Pro

 

No Worries Experience With Extended Warranty!

The price cuts will definitely excite HUAWEI fans, and make the amazing HUAWEI P30 smartphones more affordable. But what about the extended warranty?

Many smartphone users often forget about the importance of warranty until, well, long after they purchase their devices.

Nothing Usually Happens In The First Year

Most users will agree that nothing usually happens in the first year, so no one really makes use of the usual 12-month warranty.

By extending the warranty for another 12 months, HUAWEI is basically offering 24 months of No Worries experience!

Repairs + Replacements Are Not Cheap!

Because smartphones are so powerful and sophisticated, they are very expensive to repair. Even if HUAWEI offers free repair services, the replacement parts can be prohibitively expensive.

With the extended warranty, you can get your HUAWEI smartphone repaired at no cost for two years. It sure beats paying for repairs, or worse, buying a new replacement phone!

Don’t Forget Minor Fixes!

Some people live with minor issues (like a hard-to-use Power button) that cropped up after their warranty expires, because it’s just not worth switching to a new smartphone.

With the extended warranty, you need not live with such inconveniences – just send in your HUAWEI smartphone for a free check-up and service or repair!

The Realme 2 Pro vs. HUAWEI nova 3i Comparison!

The new Realme 2 Pro smartphone directly targets the HUAWEI nova 3i smartphone with its combination of good looks and great features at an incredible price point. Let’s compare them both, and see which is the better deal!

 

Realme 2 Pro vs. HUAWEI nova 3i

The Realme 2 Pro (Malaysia | Indonesia) and the HUAWEI nova 3i (Malaysia | Indonesia) are both mid-range smartphones with large 6.3-inch displays, and a dual-lens main camera. They are similar in many ways, but very different beasts in other aspects. Let’s take a closer look and show you what we mean!

Display : Realme 2 Pro

Both Realme 2 Pro (MY | ID) and HUAWEI nova 3i (MY | ID) boast very large 6.3-inch IPS displays, with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, and a high pixel density of 409 pixels per inch.

However, the Realme 2 Pro’s display has two additional advantages

  • it has a tiny dewdrop notch, which is much more challenging to design and build. But it means you get more pixels for the same display size, with more space for notifications
  • it is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, which is tougher than the aluminosilicate glass used in the nova 3i.

Performance : Realme 2 Pro

The HUAWEI nova 3i’s Kirin 710 is a strong mid-range processor, but the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 used by Realme 2 Pro is still superior. It has a slight advantage in CPU speed, but where it really shines is its GPU performance.

Ultimately, you may not notice performance difference between the two models in work applications, but the Realme 2 Pro (MY | ID) will offer noticeably better gaming performance.

Memory : Realme 2 Pro

When we compare both models at the same price point, the Realme 2 Pro (MY | ID) offers 8 GB of faster LPDDR4x memory, while the HUAWEI nova 3i (MY | ID) only comes with 4 GB of LPDDR4 memory.

Storage : Realme 2 Pro

Both Realme 2 Pro and HUAWEI nova 3i come with 128 GB of storage at the same price point. However, what most people don’t know is that the nova 3i uses the older, slower eMMC 5.1 flash storage.

The Realme 2 Pro (MY | ID) uses the much faster UFS 2.1 flash storage, which is also more power-efficient.

Front Camera : HUAWEI nova 3i

The HUAWEI nova 3i boasts a very high-resolution 24 MP front camera, coupled with a 2 MP depth sensor. This allows it to apply very accurate bokeh effects for great selfies.

While the nova 3i definitely has a superior front camera, the Realme 2 Pro, which has a high-resolution 16 MP front camera, has an ace up its sleeve – a very bright f/1.7 lens. This allows it to outperform the nova 3i in low-light conditions.

Main Camera : Realme 2 Pro

Both smartphones have dual-lens cameras that pairs a high-resolution imaging camera, with a depth sensor. But the Realme 2 Pro (MY | ID) has undoubtedly the far superior main camera.

It is built around the excellent Sony IMX398, a Dual Pixel image sensor that delivers faster and more accurate autofocus. Paired with a very bright f/1.7 lens, it handily outperforms the nova 3i in low-light conditions.

Wireless Connectivity : Realme 2 Pro

Both smartphones have similar LTE performance, but the Realme 2 Pro (MY | ID) has the clear-cut advantage in other connectivity options :

  • it supports the newer 802.11ac WiFi standard, offering much higher transfer rates.
  • it supports dual-band connectivity, switching between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz to avoid interference, and deliver better range and faster transfer rates.
  • it supports Bluetooth 5.0, which offers higher speeds and longer range, while using less power than Bluetooth 4.2.

Battery : Realme 2 Pro

The HUAWEI nova 3i (MY | ID) has a 3,340 mAh battery, while the Realme 2 Pro (MY | ID) has a slightly larger 3,500 mAh battery.

Price : Realme 2 Pro

With its superior set of features, you would expect the Realme 2 Pro to be more expensive. Surprisingly, it is CHEAPER than the HUAWEI nova 3i!

The HUAWEI nova 3i (MY | ID) has an official retail price of RM 1,299 / ~US$ 311, while the Realme 2 Pro (MY | ID) only costs RM 1,099 / ~US$ 263!

Our Verdict : Realme 2 Pro Is The Obvious Choice

The HUAWEI nova 3i (MY | ID) was a great mid-range smartphone, offering a ton of features and great performance at an affordable price point. Until the Realme 2 Pro (MY | ID) came along and spoilt the party.

With the exception of the front camera, the Realme 2 Pro handily beat the nova 3i in all other aspects… while offering a lower price tag! Unbelievable, but that’s precisely why we gave the Realme 2 Pro our Editor’s Choice Award.
