Hisilicon Kirin 710Chipset 4GB RAM, 128GB ROMRAM & Storage Dual: 16 MP, f/2.2, PDAF +Rear Camera Non-removable Li-Ion 3340 mAh batteryBattery

Huawei nova 3i price in Malaysia starts from RM599, and for that you get a Kirin 710 chipset paired with 4GB RAM and 128GB of storage, plus a microSD slot for adding up to 256GB more if you need it. The 6.3-inch IPS LCD panel runs a 1080 x 2340 resolution at 409 ppi, so text and video look sharp for a phone in this price range. It's a 2018 release, so you won't find a high refresh rate screen here, just a standard panel with a tall 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

Camera-wise, the rear setup pairs a 16MP main sensor (f/2.2, PDAF) with a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots, while the front camera goes bigger with a 24MP main lens and its own 2MP depth sensor, useful if selfies matter more to you than the back camera. Video tops out at 1080p@30fps on both ends, nothing 4K here.

The 3340 mAh battery is modest by today's standards but reasonable for the screen size and hardware on board. It ships with Android 8.1 Oreo under Huawei's EMUI 8.2 skin, and comes in Black, Pearl White, or Iris Purple.
