Huawei Nova 8 Unboxing, Review

 rjkrj3krjk3jrk

You can check our unboxing and first look here at our video below:

It was our first time to encounter Harmony OS on a phone and we got a huge update from EMUI 11 to 12. Control Center was one of the biggest changes that we saw as the brand chose to separate your usual needs (mobile data, WiFi, Bluetooth) to notifications. From the control center, you can even see the likes of Spotify player and the other must-needs like mobile hotspot, etc. Compared to the normal EMUI, we noticed that there were a bit more compatibility on the number of apps that we loaded thru Huawei Petal Search and AppGallery (which redirects with the likes of APK Pure and APK Monk) on the Harmony OS-powered Nova 8

Compared to Nova 7, yes we missed that we do not have 5G here but in 4G, we are getting fantastic mobile data signals from some of the remote areas that we went in Batangas thanks to Kirin 820 processor. WiFi, easy pairing and reconnecting to Bluetooth, calls, texts and hotspot mode were very good on this Nova 8. 

On battery, what we worry that in exchange of it's slim profile Huawei Nova 8 to put in 3800 mAh inside. Good thing with it's AMOLED display and some power saving options, we managed to be a 16-hour device. Yup, we can say that it's battery life is on the average side. Good thing that the box supplied with 66 watt charger which can fully charge this device in around 40 minutes.

On cameras, it was more than average for us in terms of normal and various photo modes that we explored in. The Hi Res mode was a pleasure, full of details for some cropping or zooming requirements. Image processing was very fast. It struggled a bit on selfies when we were in a very light enviroment for some reason, What are missing on this phone is you cannot shoot 60 fps in any of the available video resolutions 

Here are the camera samples:

Slim and curved display, more than average set of cameras, 66 watt charging support, their still excellence in connectivity and Harmony OS were the things that we like on Huawei Nova 8. Unless that there is a strong 5G connectivity in your area, going back to LTE might be an issue and if you have planning for an upgrade coming from Nova 7. The biggest downer for us is the incapable of shooting 60 fps videos which we missed on Nova 7. Good thing that it is more affordable at Php 19990. For us, it's 4 out of 5 for Huawei Nova 8

AGON by AOC: A New Gaming Brand Strategy to Inspire Gamers

 AOC is launching ‘AGON by AOC’ as the latest step of its global brand strategy to benefit gamers with an enhanced portfolio and more monitor choices. This global brand enhancement encapsulates an inclusive range of gaming ecosystems that welcomes players at all levels of ability, as they hone their skills and aspire to be their very best. 

This latest development in AOC’s brand strategy is a natural evolution, based on the recognition by analyst house IDC that AOC is now the world’s leading provider of gaming monitors by market share. In 2020, IDC announced that distinguished result for a second consecutive year.* “AGON”, it should be noted, is the ancient Greek word for intense competition and so defines a brand of gaming monitors designed to face all challenges in the pursuit of victory.

“Today, we can announce”, explained Kevin Wu, general manager of MMD Singapore, “that at AOC we have listened to our customers, and ‘AGON by AOC’ will offer so much more than simply great gaming monitors. We are already offering peripherals and ergonomic enhancements that deliver a mix of accuracy, efficiency and comfort. In this way we are building ecosystems for a variety of talents and gaming communities, as we extend portfolios and offer greater choice for levels of competition that are attracting huge numbers of new fans every day. ‘AGON by AOC’ is our response to the realization that gaming is evolving at a very fast rate. It’s an exciting time for all of us”.

Adventure is waiting

As AOC builds its gaming eco-systems with this launch, the hierarchy is now clear to see, with ‘AGON’, AGON PRO’ and ‘AOC Gaming’ sub-brands sitting under the ‘AGON by AOC’ brand, and each differentiated by its unique blend of features, designs and target users. No longer targeted simply at an exclusive audience of esports aficionados and professionals, ‘AGON by AOC’ equally reaches out to the more ambitious gaming enthusiasts, as well as the more casual, hobbyist type of gamer, and offers real value in monitors and accessories at any skill level. Harnessing the inherent quality common to all AGON offerings, the ‘AGON by AOC’ gaming lines appeal to audiences with a competitive spirit just waiting to be unleashed within the freedom to compete and grow on an individual basis. Even newcomers can now enter the learning circle of competitive gaming as a vital part of the AGON community, a growing universe of aspiration embodied by the AGON League.

Winning recognition: gaming community demands ‘AGON by AOC’

Saluted by both the gaming community as a whole, as well as by hardware reviewers, ‘AGON by AOC’ monitors continue to stand out for their superb ergonomics, winning features, and use of high-quality materials. Nevertheless, as part of AOC’s strategy for constant improvement and growth, the ‘AGON by AOC’ brand is poised for further evolution.
