HUAWEI has officially unveiled its new line of mid-rangers set to hit the shelves here in Malaysia. The nova 12 Series are already up for pre-order, with prices starting from RM1,299.

The spotlight ultimately falls on the nova 12s and nova 12 SE, each priced at RM1,999 and RM1,499 respectively. There’s also the toned-down nova 12i, which retails at RM1,299.

Pre-orders for the nova 12s and nova 12 SE begin today, although the pre-order end dates and the complimentary gifts offered differ. Customers can pre-order the nova 12s up until 12th April, where orders within the period will include free gifts worth RM988. For the nova 12 SE, pre-orders will run only until 5th April, with free gifts worth RM308 coming with it.

Interested buyers can put down their orders on HUAWEI’s official website; or on HUAWEI’s official store on Shopee and Lazada.

HUAWEI nova 12s specs

Starting off first with the headliner of the series, the nova 12s is recognizable through two very distinct design elements. The first being the unique petal texture on the rear panel; and the second its Star Orbit Ring Design camera module which houses the 50MP main camera and the 8MP ultra-wide lens.

Over at the front, there’s an impressive 60MP high resolution front camera for selfies.

This model comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage and is powered by the Snapdragon 778 4G processor. It sports a 6.7″ OLED display, offering FHD+ resolution (2412×1084) and up to 120Hz refresh rates.

For batteries, the nova 12s relies on a 4,500mAh battery supporting 66W wired charging.

You will have the choice of Blue, White, and Black. Do note that the Black clourway misses out on the petal texture elements.

HUAWEI nova 12 SE specs

Onto the nova 12 SE, this model has a much cleaner look compared to the nova 12s. Camera modules are much simpler with two circular bumps, one of which houses the 108MP main camera, and the other fitting in both the 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro lens.

Flip the phone to the front and you’ll find a 32MP selfie camera.

Like the nova 12s, this model comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. However, processors differ with the nova 12 SE utilizing the Snapdragon 680. For displays, the nova 12 SE is a tad bit smaller with a 6.67″ OLED panel, and only comes with 90Hz refresh rates. It still offers FHD+ (2400×1080) resolution.

Like before, the nova 12 SE packs the same 4,500mAh battery with support for 66W wired charging.

If you plan to get this model, you will have the choice of Green and Black.

HUAWEI nova 12i specs

Over now to the last offering in the series, the nova 12i has a far more distinct look compared to the other two. Huawei has switched up the camera module to a large circular bump now at the centre of the panel. Despite its size, it houses only two cameras: a 108MP main and a 2MP depth camera.

The nova 12i is similar to the nova 12 SE in a few areas. First, it keeps to an 8GB RAM and 256GB memory configuration, again powered by the Snapdragon 680 processor. Although it is slightly larger at 6.7″, it offers FHD+ (1080×2388) resolution, and refresh rates only goes up to 90Hz.

Among the three in the series, the nova 12i has the most subdued front camera at only 8MP.

Nevertheless, it has the largest battery capacity at 5,000mAh, but fast charging reaches up to only 40W.
