Huawei nova 4 price in Malaysia starts from RM999, and for that you get a Kirin 970 chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, no microSD slot though, so what you buy is what you keep. The 6.4-inch LTPS IPS LCD panel runs at 1080 x 2310 resolution with a sharp 398 ppi density, decent for streaming or scrolling even if it's not the newest chipset on the block by 2024 standards.

On the back sits a triple camera setup: a 20MP main lens at f/1.8 with PDAF, a 16MP secondary, and a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots. Selfie duty goes to a 25MP f/2.0 shooter, which was a standout spec when this phone launched. Video tops out at 4K30fps on the rear camera.

Battery capacity sits at 3750 mAh, reasonable for a phone this thin at 7.8mm and 172g. It ships with Android 9.0 Pie under EMUI 9, and you get a rear fingerprint sensor plus dual SIM support. Colour options include Aurora Blue, Red, White and Black.
