Nova 7i is a good phone but Nova 5T is way better value for the money.... moreWhere do you live? You're lucky if you can buy Nova 5T in same price as Nova 7i.
5T costs about twice that of Nova 7i where I live.

Anonymous, 14 Jun 2020Gsmarena tells that you can't install some apps no matter whatKind of apps like uber that relay on google services won't work maybe they will bring that to app gallery because near my areas local uber like services launched there app with hereby maps. And also there is some banking apps that won't work. Maybe that also they will launch in future. But for banking apps you can use there website and bookmark there website from browser to homescreen. Same with youtube you can bookmark youtube website directly to homescreen.
So thats why if you really want uber and banking apps for time being i will say go with other smartphone brands. You can check which all apps are there in huawei app gallery website.

For those who buy this and want apps. You can download some apps from Huawei app gallery.
For other apps goto to apk pure website download there app and you will get almost every app and updates and its safe so don't worry about security. Still you can't use gmail and youtube as it need gms that is Google services in order to sign in. But there are ways.
For google alternative:
For maps you can go with "here we go maps" that you will get from Huawei app gallery thats pretty good.
For youtube just use browser creating a youtube shortcut will really help.
For gmail you can use many apps that sync with gmail itself like yahoo mail app,......etc
Other all apps like facebook, insta and whatsapp will work excellent if you are really concerned with security you can download apk directly from there websites.
Anyway apk pure will really help because it has every playstore apps thats direct from playstore and safe. And alternatively you can use amazon store also because they have some major apps like facebook.
If anyone needs help just post here. I will check like almost every week so if i can help i will definitely do.
Feel free to ask.

Nova 7i is a good phone but Nova 5T is way better value for the money.
I'll be following through your points;
1. Best performance:
Nova 5T packs a Kirin 980 chipset; the same chipset that was in the last year's flagships Huawei P30 and P30 Pro. Inside the Nova 7i is a Kirin 810; a mid range chipset.
"Best gaming performance after Pocofone F1 - but with better battery & less heating!"
This award actually goes to the Nova 5T ; considering it's flagship level specs
2. Best camera:
Both the Nova 7i and the 5T uses a 48MP sensor, 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor but when it comes to the wide angle lens, the Nova 7i falls short with its 8MP wide angle lens before the 16MP wide angle lens of the Nova 5T
3. Most battery efficient & Least heating phone:
Nova 5T's Kirin 980 is also a 7nm chip which improves battery efficiency by 40% compared to the previous 10nm architecture. So pretty much the same as the Nova 7i if not better.
4. Extremely fast charging:
Now, I actually agree with this. Comapred to Nova 5T's 22W charging speed, Nova 7i's 40W charging speed is simply amazing.
4200mah battery of the Nova 7i is equally amazing so yea
5. 8GB RAM: Nova 5T
"Nova 7i is the only phone that gives you 8GB RAM with a extremely powerful chipset."
Wrong. There are actually more than a handful of really powerful phones with 8GB RAM from companies like Xiaomi, Oppo and ofc, Huawei;
Nova 5T comes with 8GB ram and a more powerful chipset than the Nova 7i's Kirin 810
6. LTPS Display:
"LTPS IPS LCD offers better viewing angles than IPS LCD.
It's even better than Super AMOLED Display."
True and True.
Although there's one known flaw of LTPS displays; They deteriorates faster than the standard IPS panels. So, compared to an IPS which can last for years and years and LTPS displays has a rather low life span. It's not as bad as AMOLED's burn in issues or PWM flickering which can cause mild headaches and dizziness. SO,
Choosing between Regular IPS vs LTPS is entirely up to usage and personal preference.
In my opinion, if you're planning to use your phone for at least 4 years, it's best to go with the regular IPS. And if you change your phone every year or so then it's safe to go for the LTPS.
Nova 5T has a Regular IPS panel.
7. It's easier to put it this way:
"If Huawei Nova 7i had Google Play Services, it would cost 200% more than it does right now. It's the closest phone to flagship phones in this price."
Nova 5T comes with full Google Play Services support and it doesn't cost 200% more than the 7i.
Also, I'd think Nova 5T, a phone with an actual flagship chipset would be much closer to a flagship phone than a phone with a mid-range chipset like the Nova 7i.

This is the best phone for anyone who understands that you can safely download & install almost all apps using APK Pure and other Google Play alternatives. It's a one-time process, so it's not much of a problem.
Here's how it compares to other phones:
1. Best performance:
- According to Notebook tests:
CPU wise, it's as powerful as Snapdragon 765G.
GPU wise, it's as powerful as Snapdragon 730G.
- According to Gsmarena tests, it's more powerful than:
Helio G90T phones like Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Snapdragon 730G phones like Samsung Galaxy A71.
- Best gaming performance after Pocofone F1 - but with better battery & less heating!
2. Best camera:
- The cheapest phone that beats its camera is probably OnePlus 6 for 63,000 PKR.
Read its official camera review by Gsmarena and check camera samples. It's literally way better than phones like Redmi Note 9 Pro/s, Realme 6 Pro, Galaxy A51, Pocofone F1 and so on.
3. Most battery efficient & Least heating phone:
- It has 7nm chipset, which heats much less & is much more battery efficient than other phones in this price.
Most of them have 10-12nm chipsets.
4. Extremely fast charging:
- 70% battery charged in only 30 minute - charges at 40W.
That's much higher than any phone in even twice its price.
5. 8GB RAM:
Nova 7i is the only phone that gives you 8GB RAM with a extremely powerful chipset.
- Other phones with 8GB RAM have very weak chipsets that can't even make use of 8GB RAM. So they only have it to trick people into buying them.
6. LTPS Display:
LTPS IPS LCD offers better viewing angles than IPS LCD.
It's even better than Super AMOLED Display.
7. It's easier to put it this way:
If Huawei Nova 7i had Google Play Services, it would cost 200% more than it does right now.
It's the closest phone to flagship phones in this price.

So far performance is just a little better (because it has always been amazing). Like the multi window feature too.

This phone before the google ban is excellent. Unfortunately after the google ban it loses 50% of its value especially for people who are heavily reliable on google.

If you are ready to live without Google , then this device is perfect.
Otherwise it's just a toy with more specs.
No resale value.
