Huawei nova 8
RM 1,199.00
Price last checked: 13 Jun 2023. Confirm current price before buying.
Huawei nova 8 price in Malaysia starts from RM1199, putting a Kirin 820E chipset, 8GB RAM and 128GB storage into a mid-range package. The 6.57-inch OLED panel runs at 90Hz, which helps scrolling and games feel smoother than a typical 60Hz screen at this price point, and it's rated for HDR10 too.
The camera side is built around a 64MP main sensor paired with an 8MP ultrawide, a 2MP depth lens and a 2MP macro unit. Selfies get a 32MP front camera capable of 4K video, which is well above what most phones in this bracket offer.
Battery capacity sits at 3800mAh, on the smaller side for a 2021 phone, but Huawei compensates with 66W wired charging that gets you to 60% in 15 minutes. One thing worth flagging before you buy: it runs EMUI 12 on Android 11 without Google Play Services, so app access works differently than on a standard Android phone.
