Huawei nova 9
RM 1,099.00
Price last checked: 10 Jul 2024. Confirm current price before buying.
Snapdragon 778G handles day-to-day tasks without much fuss, and pairs with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, so space shouldn't be an issue even without a microSD slot. The 6.57-inch OLED panel runs at 120Hz with HDR10 support, which makes scrolling and video playback noticeably smoother than a standard 60Hz screen. Huawei nova 9 price in Malaysia starts from RM1099.
On the camera side, you get a 50MP main sensor backed by an 8MP ultrawide, plus 2MP depth and macro lenses. The 32MP front camera is on the higher end for selfies in this bracket. Battery capacity sits at 4300mAh, and 66W fast charging gets you to full in about 38 minutes, which is handy if you're often topping up on the go.
One thing to flag before buying: this runs EMUI 12 (or HarmonyOS 2.0 in China) without Google Play Services, so app access works differently than on a typical Android phone. Worth checking if the apps you rely on are available before committing.
