The Huawei nova Y71 128GB is Huawei Test's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.75 inches, 110.0 cm2 (~84.1% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 710A (14 nm) chipset. It comes with a 6000 mAh battery. Available in the UAE from AED 499.
The Huawei nova Y71 excels with its 6000mAh battery delivering multi-day use on a single charge and a 22.5W wired charger that refills quickly for its class. The 48MP main sensor captures usable detail in daylight, while the 120° ultrawide adds versatility. It’s built for users who prioritize battery endurance over speed—like delivery riders, field workers, or those with limited charging access. Its weakness is the lack of Google Play Services on EMUI 12, blocking essential apps like WhatsApp, Maps, and banking tools without workarounds. The 720p IPS LCD screen feels dated at 260 ppi, and the octa-core chipset struggles with multitasking. In UAE at AED 499, it’s competitive because no other phone under AED 550 offers a 6000mAh battery with 22.5W charging. In India, where pricing is unavailable but comparable models like the Redmi 12C start at ₹8,999 with Google support, the nova Y71’s app limitations make it hard to recommend unless Google alternatives are acceptable.
