decent for the price.

published

Great screen, pretty good speakers, works well for calls, messages, emails, social media etc.. however the camera quality is very very poor, and the phone over heats extremely fast in summer, even when just sitting on a table indoors. Brightness is still bright at its lowest, so I wouldn't recommend for someone who uses their phone a lot in a dark room. Overall a good starter phone for tweens who don't need anything serious.

The worst customer service ever!

published

We sent our Nova 3E into be fixed as after 4 months it would only make SOS calls. Were told that it had water damage and we know for sure it didn't. They wouldn't honour the warranty and tried to charge us $205 to be fixed for a phone that is worth $350. So disappointed with the service in Australia.

The camera is really bad, I brought it thinking it would be great but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

Terrible camera, good processing speed, sometimes this phone freezes. Brightness is ok. Definately not a phone for people who want to take nice photos, the colours are not accurate in the photos and the images are very poor.

Huawei nova 3e

published

Overall phone works and does what is asked of it. I find when typing in the pass code it's like it can't keep up and the pass code will be in but it won't open. The most annoying feature of this phone is it won't hide caller ID. I originally bought the phone went to work turned the phone onto hide caller ID. 3 days later I went to turn caller ID off and it says network error. Took the phone to optus, telstra, jb hi fi and nobody can explain the issue. I took the phone back good guys and they believed it was software issued and gave me a new phone. The replacement phone still does the same thing.

Huawei Nova 3E

published

This is great phone for it value. It has a really good camera and some great features. The speed and memory space is amazing and has a memory card slot to add extra space. There is only 1 negative I have found and that has been how fragile the back and front screens are. Even with glass protectors and high quality cases they shatter very easily. I have replaced the screens twice already and refuse to do it again as it has cost more then the handset to replace them.

Good budget phone

published

I bought this phone to my mum on mother's day. Both selfie and rear cameras are great for casual photos. Screen is bright enough for outdoor use. She uses it mainly for facebook and messenger, despite Huawei being banned it will have little effect on the usage of phone.

Value for Money and Good Screen

published

Value for money. Phone screen is exceed expectation on this price range. App very responsive, 4GB ram is big enough for day to day use. Regular security update from manufacture is another bonus. Camera is a bit weak especially on low light but is acceptable.

Having had a few bad experiences with the iPhone 6s I decided to return to an Android phone. I have few regrets. Great camera, easy to use and good size screen.

Good for price

Only 300 dollars, works better than an Iphone, great blue colour, love it as it's multicrome, although I must admit, I was afraid because of the scandal involving them and spying on customers. All countrys do it under the security act.

Has the performance expected of a much more expensive phone

published

Really satisfied with this phone, particularly considering the price. Great screen size and it is easy to use. Long battery life and very easy to install the apps and contacts etc from my old phone onto this one. Basic plastic cover was included. The only downside to this phone is the charger, as it is specific to Huawei and I can't use usual chargers if I am at somebody else's place and don't bring my own.

Worst phone I've ever owned

published

I have had trouble with Huawei since day 1.
Problems with making calls. Have to repeatedly press the phone icon. Calls disconnect during a conversation whilst in a high mobile reception area. Phone won't hot-spot. Huawei response was to do full factory reset, but save it to HiSuite Huawei program for $9.99 massive inconvenience lost information. Phone still under warranty I have to send pH interstate to be looked at. No loan phone. Service is 1/10 like its phone.

Love the phone

published

I have always used Huawei phones because they are cheap and seem to last. This is the most expensive one I've purchased and so far I'm pretty happy with it. Battery lasts well, screen is large and clear, it's fast too. The only bad things all the nonsense Huawei Apps that are pre installed - I have no idea what they are and all require you to sign up. Also the C-type charging cable - although it is an improvement, now I have many older style charging cables that are not compatible. I have noticed that when using wifi, the signal is not as strong as my old phone. I have downloaded a wifi booster app which seems to help.

Fantastic phone for price

published

Due to unforseen circumstances my beautiful Samsung S5 was no longer able to be used. The Huawei Nova 3e was recommended by my IT man. What a lovely phone. It has so many similar features but with double capacity and other new features my S5 did not have. So very happy and for an amazing price of $339.00. Loving it!

Best phone I've owned.

published

Bought from Office Works for $320. 64Gb Ram. Octacore. Works very well. Battery is very long lasting. WiFi to Mobile Data switches efficiently and relatively easy to configure. Has some nice inbuilt features such as face down to go silent. If only one could remove the inbuilt Huawei apps. Protective clear vinyl shroud was a nice addition.

Does nova 3e have an indicator light.

Yes, there is an indicator light that lights up when charging, when a call has been missed, when a text message has come in (and not read yet) and I think when I have a calendar reminder. There may be other indications that I can't remember or haven't noticed.

Sorry - I am not sure. I have had a look through my settings and can't see where you could change the timing for your incoming calls. Perhaps post a message on the Huawei site?
