Qualcomm SM6225 Snapdragon 680 4G (6 nm)Chipset 128GB 8GB RAMRAM & Storage Quad: 108 MP, f/1.9, (wide), 1/1.52", 0.7µm, PDAF +Rear Camera Li-Po 4000 mAh, non-removable batteryBattery

A 108MP main sensor headlines the quad-camera setup here, backed by an 8MP ultrawide, plus 2MP macro and depth sensors. It's paired with a 16MP front camera for selfies and video calls. The 6.78-inch IPS LCD runs at 90Hz, which keeps scrolling and casual gaming smoother than a standard 60Hz panel, and at 387 ppi text and icons stay sharp.

Power comes from Qualcomm's Snapdragon 680 4G, an efficiency-focused chipset rather than a performance one, so this leans toward everyday use over heavy gaming. 8GB RAM and 128GB storage give enough room for apps and photos, with microSDXC expansion if you need more. The 4000mAh battery supports 66W fast charging, Huawei's claiming 75% in 20 minutes, which is quick for this price bracket.

One thing worth flagging: it runs EMUI 12 on Android 11 without Google Play Services, so app installs work differently than on a standard Android phone. Huawei nova 9 SE price in Malaysia starts from RM989, and it comes in Midnight Black, Pearl White, and Crystal Blue.
