The Huawei nova Y61 128GB is Huawei Test's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.52 inches, 102.6 cm2 (~82.4% screen-to-body ratio) display. It comes with a 5000 mAh battery. Available in the UAE from AED 399.
The Huawei nova Y61 excels with its 50MP main camera delivering detailed daylight shots, a 5000mAh battery lasting two full days on moderate use, and 22.5W wired charging that refills 50% in under 45 minutes. It’s built for budget-conscious buyers in UAE needing long battery life and reliable 4G connectivity without Google services, especially those who rely on Huawei’s AppGallery and use their phone primarily for messaging, browsing, and photos. Its 720p display and EMUI 12 lack smoothness, and the 2MP macro lens adds no real utility. NFC works only on the EVE-LX9N variant, limiting contactless payments. In UAE at AED 399, it’s competitive because no other 5000mAh phone under AED 450 offers NFC and 50MP main camera. In India, where pricing is unavailable, it’s not recommended—similar 5000mAh Android phones with Google support and 90Hz displays are available at comparable prices.
