This is a compact 5-inch phone built around a Snapdragon 625 chipset paired with Adreno 506 graphics and 3GB of RAM, enough for everyday apps and light multitasking rather than heavy gaming. Storage sits at 32GB, but there's a microSD slot for expansion up to 256GB if you shoot a lot of photos or keep large files on hand. The display is a Full HD IPS LCD panel at 441 ppi, sharp for its size, and the whole device weighs a manageable 146g.
The 12MP rear camera has phase detection autofocus and an LED flash, useful for quicker focus in daily shooting, while the 8MP front camera covers selfies and video calls. A 3020 mAh battery keeps things running, and USB Type-C handles charging and data transfer, a nice touch for a phone from this era.
Huawei Nova price in Malaysia starts from RM909. It ships in Prestige Gold, Mystic Silver, Titanium Grey and Obsidian Black, running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with an upgrade path to Nougat.
