What CompareTab says about Huawei nova 16 SE vs Alcatel Pop C9

Huawei nova 16 SE has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over Pop C9, with 8 GB of RAM versus 1 GB, 128 GB of storage versus 4 GB, a 8500 mAh battery versus 2500 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 (32 MP versus 1.9 MP), NFC, and 66W charging. Alcatel Pop C9, however, is around $94.00 cheaper and lighter at 189 g versus 229 g. The main trade-off is the nova 16 SE’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus the Pop C9’s lower price and lighter build.
