The Huawei Nova 3e set to launch on the 25th of May

Huawei is all set for the launch of the Huawei Nova 3e in Malaysia, which is a rebranded version of the Huawei P20 Lite. In fact, this is nothing but a rebranded Huawei P20 Lite, which was recently launched in India for Rs 19,999. Just like the Indian iteration (which offers 24 MP selfie camera), the Huawei Nova 3e is also expected to have a 24 MP front-facing camera.

The company is also including free goodies (until stocks last) like tripod selfie stick, which usually retails for a price of MYR68 ($17). Considering the specs list, the Huawei P20 Lite is expected to be priced less than $400.
