Huawei nova 12s
RM 1,219.00
Price last checked: 10 May 2025. Confirm current price before buying.
Huawei nova 12s price in Malaysia starts from RM1219, putting it in the mid-range bracket alongside a Snapdragon 778G chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. There's no microSD slot, so that storage figure is fixed. The 6.7-inch OLED panel runs at 120Hz, which keeps scrolling and games looking smooth, and it's wrapped in a slim 6.9mm body weighing 168g.
Camera-wise, the rear setup pairs a 50MP f/1.9 main sensor with an 8MP ultrawide, decent numbers for this price bracket. The front camera is where things get unusual: a 60MP f/2.4 ultrawide selfie shooter, higher resolution than most rivals bother putting on the back.
Battery capacity sits at 4500mAh, and 66W wired charging means a near-empty phone can reportedly hit full charge in about 30 minutes. One thing worth flagging before you buy: this runs EMUI 14 without Google Play Services, so app compatibility needs checking if you rely on the Play Store ecosystem.
