As a result of such drive for new technology, leading brands such as Huawei are having
global premiere for their products in Malaysia. One such product is the Huawei Nova 5T.
Huawei Malaysia has sent out media invites for the launch event that is happening on 27th
August 2019.
Although the Nova 5 series was announced in China sometime in June, the upcoming Nova
5T is expected to be very similar to the Honor 20. This was revealed when the Nova 5T was
certified alongside the Honor flagship device on Google Play. Serial leakster Roland Quandt
has also confirmed the specs and it’s virtually identical to the Honor device except for some
minor differences in RAM configuration.
For an early look at the device, people can also visit the KL Fashion Week 2019 where
Huawei will be showcasing their product.
