What CompareTab says about Huawei nova 14 vs Alcatel Idol S
Huawei nova 14 has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over Idol S, with 12 GB of RAM versus 1 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 4 GB, a 5500 mAh battery versus 2000 mAh, and a 120 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (50 MP versus 8 MP), a higher-resolution front camera (50 MP versus 1.3 MP), an ultrawide rear camera, and 100W charging. Alcatel Idol S, however, is around $100 cheaper and lighter at 110 g versus 192 g. The main trade-off is the nova 14’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus the Idol S’s lower price and lighter build.
