The Huawei nova Y61 64GB 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 349.
The Huawei nova Y61 excels with its 5000mAh battery delivering multi-day use on a single charge and 22.5W wired charging that refills 50% in under 40 minutes. The 6.52-inch IPS LCD screen offers sharp 720x1600 resolution with 20:9 aspect ratio, ideal for extended video streaming. NFC support on the EVE-LX9N variant enables contactless payments in UAE. This phone targets budget-conscious buyers in urban areas who prioritize battery life over camera quality—5MP main sensor limits low-light performance. The absence of Google Play Services cripples app access, forcing reliance on AppGallery, which lacks key services like WhatsApp Web or banking apps. In UAE at AED 349, it’s competitive because no other 5000mAh phone under AED 400 offers NFC and 22.5W charging. In India, where pricing is unavailable, it’s not recommended due to Google service restrictions making daily use impractical without workarounds.
