Launched alongside the Huawei Nova 8i and MatePad 11 in the Philippines, the Huawei Nova 8 is one of the company’s latest premium offerings and boasts flagship features for less money, including a curved OLED screen and a dual battery that can charge from zero to full in under an hour.

Yup, you can get a full charge in the same time it takes you to finish your breakfast or an episode of your favorite show on Netflix. That’s impressive indeed given that the Huawei Nova 8 is a sub-flagship smartphone.

Team REVU Founded by Alora Uy Guerrero and Ramon "Monch" Lopez, REVU Philippines is the product of 42 combined years in the media trenches — long enough to see gadgets rise, platforms fall, and deadlines multiply. Between them, they've shaped content for Yahoo, T3, Techie, TV5, MEGA, GadgetMatch, and Gadgets, with a few strategic side quests in retail, PR, and marketing. We're a lean team, which means no filler and no fluff, just the stories worth telling. Between chasing kids, specs, and the perfect camera angle, we brew coffee, shoot content, play video games, watch hoops, blast our favorite bands, and somehow still hit our deadlines. REVU is our passion project, built on the belief that tech journalism should have as much style as it does substance — and preferably enough caffeine to power a small server farm.
