Huawei nova 8 SE and HTC U20 5G, performance comparison
Huawei nova 8 SE and HTC U20 5G size comparison. Which to choose?
The size of the body has a big influence on the ease of carrying and one-handed operation. The narrower the width, the easier it is to firmly grasp and hold, but you also have to take into account the device's thickness. Also, if the width and height are smaller, its easier to operate one-handed since its easier to extend your fingers. On the contrary, if the width and height are large, it's difficult to fit in your pocket and is bulky even when put in a bag, and portability is impaired.
The Huawei nova 8 SE has a width of 2.9 inches (74.8 mm), a length of 6.3 inches (161.1 mm), and a thickness of 0.3 inches (7.5 mm). Also, the HTC U20 5G has a width of 3.1 inches (78.1 mm), a length of 6.7 inches (171.2 mm), and a thickness of 0.4 inches (9.4 mm).
Comparing the width and thickness of the body, the Huawei nova 8 SE is smaller and more compact compared to the HTC U20 5G. For that reason, the Huawei nova 8 SE is easier to grip firmly and carry one-handed than the HTC U20 5G. For that reason, we recommend the Huawei nova 8 SE.
Comparing the width and thickness of the body, there isn't a large difference in size between the Huawei nova 8 SE and the HTC U20 5G. For that reason their one-handed operability, portability, and bulkiness when carried is about the same. That's why I think it's better to compare them in terms of other aspects of performance and functionality.
