Huawei nova 8 Launches In Malaysia; Now Available At RM1899

A variety of free gifts also await those who purchase the phone via the brand's official online store.

As per its announcement that was made last week, Huawei today has officially launched its brand new nova 8 smartphone in Malaysia. It is worth noting that although most of the specifications of the device are mostly no different from the original Chinese release, it does feature a different Kirin chipset. More on that later.

The Huawei nova 8 comes with a curved 6.57-inch FHD+ OLED display with a refresh rate of 90Hz, under-display fingerprint sensor, and a punch-hole cutout for its selfie camera. As mentioned earlier, it is also equipped with a Kirin 820E chipset instead of the Kirin 985 that was included together with the model that was launched in China last year. Despite exhibiting lower performance than the latter, Huawei touts the chip to produce less heat under intense processing situations such as gaming. Along with the Kirin SoC is paired with a RAM capacity of 8GB and storage space of 128GB.
