Design

Even with both of our models covered in black, it’s not that hard to differentiate specially with Huawei written on the chin of the Nova 2i. Front cameras also differ in placement, one for the F5 youth and two for the Nova 2i.

Finger print scanners are both placed at the back with their individual cameras close to it. Again, one for the Oppo and 2 for the Huawei. At the bottom bunk of the phones are the speakers and head phone jacks and charging ports.

Display

The F5 youth’s screen is at 6” while the Nova 2i is at 5.9” both having 1080 x 2160 IPS LCD display. Colors look more dynamic on the Nova 2i compared to the somewhat over saturated look of the F5 youth’s colors.

Camera

The youth has a 13 MP rear camera while the Nova 2i has a dual 16MP + 2MP rear camera. Day-lit assisted shots were more vibrant on the Huawei with the Oppo sticking to a cooler toned result. But with both having as much detail clarity.

This next shot proves the same case as the previous shot, although it seems that the Oppo has more detail sharpness on this one.

Next is a test how well the phone’s shooters can take lighting sources on a closer length. Although on a slightly different angle, both phones show the exact same result as of the previous shots with a cooler tone on the youth and warmer on the Nova 2i. Most noticeable through the far left end of the photos.

Depth-effect only applies to the Nova 2i although not that accurate, it still produces great results.

Night-time landscape shots have a darker result on the Oppo which is surprising since its higher variant, the F5 performs well on this category in our other videos. The Nova 2i also has a night-mode which produces bright and detailed result if done correctly.

 

 

Selfies has brighter and pinking result on the Nova 2i while the F5 youth was able to balance color between the face and neck to chest area.

Depth effect on the Oppo may sometimes result to a blurry edge compared to the Nova 2i which was still capable of showing small details on edges.

When it comes to low-lit and night-time shots the F5 has brighter results than the Nova 2i, see and judge for yourselves.

Video recording on both phones can also go up to 1080p at 30 fps. When it comes to details, see for yourselves.
