As with other smartphones in the Nova series, the Huawei Nova 9 SE is made for young millennial and Generation Z content creators. Its stunning design already indicates that. But the highlight here is the device’s 108-megapixel main camera on the back — a first for the company. The primary sensor is assisted by one 8-megapixel and two 2-megapixel shooters for ultra-wide, portrait, and macro shots. The selfie camera, on the other hand, is 16 megapixels.

Expect features that can help vloggers and other creatives make the best content possible, such as Super Night Shot, AI Snapshot, Super Night Selfie, and continuous front/rear recording, among others.

The Nova 9 SE likewise packs a big screen that measures 6.78 inches and boasts ultra-narrow bezels; a 4,000mAh battery that supports 66 watts of fast charging; EMUI 12; and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chip coupled with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.

In Malaysia, the Huawei Nova 9 SE is priced at RM1,099, which is roughly P13,704 in Philippine pesos and $262 in U.S. dollars.
