In case you haven't heard, Huawei Malaysia has just rolled out a new EMUI 8.0 update for the Nova Lite, Nova 2 Plus and P10 lite phones. There are a couple of updates for the three phones, but all the same thing and mainly focuses on the user interface experience. You can now download it in the settings via Over-the-Air (OTA).

In conjunction with the 29th SEA Games, Huawei Malaysia has invited gold medallists Zylane Lee Yhing Huey and Gan Hua Wei (seriously, that's her name lol) to their HQ and presented each of them a brand new Nova 2 Plus smartphone. The duo won in the synchronised swimming competition after winning 76.3000 points in the duet free event at the National Aquatic Centre in Bukit Jalil.

As previously predicted, the Huawei Nova 2 Plus is indeed making its way to Malaysia shores this coming August. The Nova 2 Plus is Huawei's answer to the selfie trend coming with a huge 20MP front camera, not only that, it's also backed up by 12MP + 8MP dual rear camera setup and other camera features.

After a teaser about a Huawei Nova phone with a 20MP front camera was recently released by Huawei Malaysia, it turns out that this could be the Huawei Nova Plus 2 as it was also recently listed on the US FCC. Other tech specs for the Nova 2 Plus include an octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 659 processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage (wow!) , 5.5-inch FHD display and 3340 mAh battery. It will also feature a 12MP + 8MP dual rear camera to go with the aforementioned 20MP front camera and eLux tech. No exact Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet but it is going for 2899 yuan or about RM1838 (which could mean an RM1899 price tag here) in China.

So here's some news, Huawei Malaysia has hinted a new smartphone is coming to Malaysia. You must be thinking what smartphone could it be, since the P10 series are already here, and we aren't expecting to see the upcoming Mate 10 that soon yet.
