The Honor View 20 was recently released by Huawei’s Honor arm at China. Before this much hyped 48MP smartphone, another handset has been debuted by Huawei early in December 2018, with similar specs, and yeah we’re talking about the Huawei Nova 4.
The Nova 4 was released in China by the main company with a 48MP rear camera and a punch hole in the display for the front-facing camera. The device remained a Chinese exclusive smartphone for a while but now seems to be making its way to Malaysia.
Huawei Malaysia has sent out invites for a Nova 4 launch event on January 16th. There are actually two different versions of the handset in China. While the handset equipped with the 48MP got more attention, there’s a second variant with a 20MP camera that is cheaper. We don’t know if the two models will be available in Malaysia.
