Buying advice for Algeria

Both Huawei Mate 60 Pro and Huawei nova 12 are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Huawei nova 12 is 26% cheaper at 96,000 DZD versus 130,000 DZD for the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Huawei Mate 60 Pro packs a 5000 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Above 100,000 DZD you are paying for the chipset, camera tuning, and long-term software support, so weigh those against price.
