The Huawei P20 and P20 Pro are out in Malaysia for awhile now already, but they are top range devices. If you’re looking for a powerful device that looks just as good, the P20 Lite may be a better choice. Good news then, as the P20 Lite, which has been rebranded as the Huawei Nova 3e for the Malaysian market, is rumoured to arrive on May 22.
The Huawei Nova 3e is named as such as it is a combination of three Es. These Es are: Excellent craftsmanship; Evolution of Fullview Display and photography; and Efficient user experience. I know most people are wanting to see the specs so here you go:
- Processor: Huawei Kirin 659, octa-Core Processor
- Memory/Storage: 4GB/128GB
- Dimensions: 148.6 H x 71.2 W x 7.4 D
- Weight: 145g
- Display: 5.84″ FHD+ 2280 x 1080 19:9
- Cameras: 16MP + 2MP (rear), 24MP (front)
- Other miscellaneous features include fingerprint sensor, face unlock, AR Lens, Dual-SIM nano-SIM Card
- Connectivity: 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/a/ac 2.4GHz & 5GHz, Bluetooth 4.2, aptX and aptX HD
- OS: EMUI 8.0 based on Android 8.0 Oreo
- Battery: 3000mAh
It’s Huawei Nova’s first 24MP front camera, and the 128GB storage size is impressive as well. While the price is unconfirmed, speculation is that it would fall between RM1299 and RM1500, similar to its price in China. Furthermore, it would make sense that Huawei would put out a midranger to the market. Their P20 and P20 Pro are doing well in the top range category. Thus, Huawei can now turn its attention to the midrange segment.
Again, this remains rumours as well as informed speculation but rest assured, we will update when the time comes.
