Huawei nova 5T

Huawei nova 5T price in Malaysia starts from RM1388, putting a 2019 flagship-grade chipset within reach at a mid-range price point. The Kirin 980 (7nm) processor paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage handles daily multitasking and heavier apps without much fuss, and the Mali-G76 MP10 GPU gives it enough muscle for gaming too. Just note there's no memory card slot, so 128GB is what you're stuck with. The 6.26-inch IPS LCD screen runs at full HD+ resolution with a 19.5:9 ratio, tight enough at 412 ppi for sharp text and video.

On the back, you get a quad-camera setup: a 48MP main lens, a 16MP ultrawide, plus a dedicated 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots. Selfie duty goes to a 32MP front camera, which was a rare spec at this price when the phone launched. The 3750mAh battery isn't huge by today's standards, but 22.5W fast charging gets you to 50% in about 24 minutes, which helps offset that. It ships with Android 9 out of the box, upgradable to Android 10 with EMUI 10 on top.
