Let’s have a look at Huawei Nova 8 SE 4G full specifications:

Huawei Nova 8 SE 4G sports a 6.5-inch OLED panel that offers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, measure 161.6 x 74.8 x 7.5mm, and weigh 180 grams. This phone runs on HarmonyOS 2 operating system and is powered by a Kirin 710A processor.

In storage configurations, it offers 6GB of RAM, 128GB of inbuilt storage, and packs with a 3,800mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging through a USB-C port. On the rear side, it has  64-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.9 aperture, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth assist lens.

On the other hand, the from the side has a 16MP camera for selfies. The sensors include Fingerprint (under display, optical), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass.

About Kirin 710A:

The HiSilicon Kirin 710A is an ARM-based mid-range Octa-Core-SoC manufactured in 14nm FinFET and is also the first one for the company to be manufactured by Shanghai-based Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC).

It was announced mid-2020 and contains 8 processor cores including 4x Cortex-A73 at up to 2 GHz, 4x Cortex-A53 at up to 1.7 GHz, BigLITTLE, an ARM Mali G51 MP4, a dual-channel LPDDR4 memory controller, and an LTE radio (600 Mbps down, 150 Mbps up).

Therefore, the CPU part is similar to the Kirin 960 and 970 (both higher clocked), but the graphics card is a lot slower.
