While value oriented smartphones are typically a compromise in performance and cost, the new HUAWEI nova 9 SE breaks from tradition as it offers outstanding value with features that typically appear only in high-end flagship phones. 

The HUAWEI nova 9 SE is one of the first phones in its price range to feature the massive and potent 108MP AI Quad Camera for superb photographs along with a large and smooth FullView display and blazing fast 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge tech. That’s just scratching the surface though. Here are 7 reasons why the HUAWEI nova 9 SE is a value-packed smartphone for Malaysians

HUAWEI nova 9 SE – Fantastic 108MP AI Quad Camera for great shots – day or night

One of the most important features on a smartphone are the quality of its cameras and the new HUAWEI nova 9 SE is armed to the teeth with an absolutely massive and powerful 108MP AI Quad Camera array.

Through some nifty engineering, HUAWEI has managed to include a potent 108MP main camera with a large 1/1.52-inch sensor into a chassis that’s just 7.94mm thin. The primary 108MP camera is further enhanced with HUAWEI’s Multi-Frame Fusion algorithm to enhance dynamic range in challenging light conditions, allowing the HUAWEI nova 9 SE to capture breathtakingly exceptional photos even under challenging low light conditions. 

Complementing the 108MP main camera is a 8MP Ultra Wide Angle Camera for great scenery and group shots along with a 2MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro camera for extremely detailed close-up shots that offer a magically different perspective on mundane items like flower petals and insects. 

Up front, the HUAWEI nova 9 SE is equipped with a 16MP Wide Angle Camera that also integrates 4-in-1 pixel binning shots for great selfies and video calls too. Combined, this solid array of cameras enables the HUAWEI nova 9 SE to tackle everything from epic holiday shots, selfies and food snaps with deft aplomb

HUAWEI nova 9 SE – Large and smooth HUAWEI FullView 90Hz Display 

When it comes to displays, the HUAWEI nova 9 SE packs a punch with a generously sized 6.78-inch FullView display that features breathtakingly slim bezels that are a mere 1.05mm thin to grant it a massive 94.85% screen-to-body ratio, meaning that it has one of the largest displays for its size in the market. 

Belying its slim dimensions, the HUAWEI nova 9 SE’s FullView display has a crisp 2,388 x 1080 pixels resolution along with a swift 90Hz refresh rate, ensuring that animations, web browsing and even gaming are silky smooth affairs.

In tandem with the fast 90Hz refresh rate, this enables the HUAWEI nova 9 SE’s large FullView display also features a 270 Hz touch sampling rate that ensures the display is exceptionally responsive to touch for a seamlessly interactive experience without lag.

HUAWEI nova 9 SE – Super Vlogging Experience with Dual-View Video

The HUAWEI nova 9 SE features the innovative Dual-View Video feature which allows users to simultaneously record video from both the front and rear cameras and save them on one file without the need for a complicated video editor (or an extra camera!) to combine and create quality footage.

With Dual-View video mode, you’re able to continuously record a smooth Full HD video from both cameras while being able to take full advantage of the HUAWEI nova 9 SE’s sophisticated camera features such as the ability to take advantage of up to 5X digital zoom and an ultra wide angle camera mode too. You can also take advantage of two alternative styles in Dual Video mode with a classic Picture-in-Picture mode or a dual camera view with equally sized video feeds from both the front and rear cameras. 

Combined, these potent features make the HUAWEI nova 9 SE a super vlogging phone that’s absolutely ideal for live streams and to offer more immersive videos on YouTube, Snapchat, WeChat or TikTok.

HUAWEI nova 9 SE – Elegant and Contemporary Design

The HUAWEI nova 9 SE features a timeless design that’s just 7.94mm thin while featuring curved edges and gently rounded corners to ensure optimum ergonomics and practicality with all important controls within easy reach and easy one-handed usage. 

Inspired by the aesthetics of nature, the backplate is sheathed in a smooth glass laminate akin to a rivers-smoothed rock  while the  rear AI Quad camera housing uses a new Star Orbit Ring design that is both distinctive and stylish while evoking the whirling orbit of the stars in the night sky as they race across the heavens.

Weighing just 191g, the HUAWEI nova 9 SE is also wonderfully light as well belying its large display, huge battery and powerful camera array. In Malaysia, the HUAWEI nova 9 SE is available in three breathtakingly fetching colourways – Crystal Blue, Pearl White and Midnight Black.

Fortunately, the HUAWEI nova 9 SE packs a generously sized 4,000mAh battery that’s up to the challenge and able to offer excellent endurance even with heavy use.
