With an impressive pixel count, the 108MP ultra-high-definition main camera allows users to unleash their creativity in sublime detail. The larger sensor and advanced imaging technology allow the smartphone to deliver extremely clear shots in High-Res mode, creating lossless images even when they are zoomed in three times.
The HUAWEI nova 9 SE can capture pictures in dark environments and increase the brightness while reducing noise and improving the photo's dynamic range. You can also snap perfect selfies in low light as the Super Night Shot feature can accurately recognize human faces and optimize the background while filtering out noise.
