Buying advice for Algeria

Both Huawei nova 12 and Huawei Pura 70 are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Huawei nova 12 is 9% cheaper at 96,000 DZD versus 106,000 DZD for the Huawei Pura 70, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Huawei Pura 70 packs a 4900 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Above 100,000 DZD you are paying for the chipset, camera tuning, and long-term software support, so weigh those against price.
