The Huawei nova 5T counts with a better camera than Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not favorable for capturing photos and/or video in poorly lited situations, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution and the same video frame rate, the Huawei nova 5T also counts with a back-facing camera with a lot higher 48 mega-pixels resolution and a bigger sensor capturing higher quality photographs and videos.
Although Huawei nova 5T is a better device, it costs more money than Galaxy S7 edge, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Galaxy S7 edge. If you want to save some money, you can buy the Galaxy S7 edge, letting go a couple features, but you will get the most out of your savings.
