The Huawei nova Y72 128GB is Huawei Test's 2024 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 699.
The Huawei nova Y72 128GB excels with its 6000mAh battery delivering multi-day use on a single charge, 22.5W wired charging for rapid top-ups, and a 50MP main sensor capturing detailed daylight photos. It targets users in hot climates who need all-day endurance without frequent charging, such as delivery riders, field workers, or budget-conscious families in regions with unstable power grids. Its 6.75-inch TFT LCD screen offers decent size but suffers from low 260 ppi density, making text and video appear grainy under close inspection. The absence of Google Play Services limits app access, forcing reliance on Huawei’s AppGallery, which lacks key apps like WhatsApp or Instagram in some regions. In UAE at AED 699, it’s competitive because no other phone under AED 750 offers a 6000mAh battery and NFC. In India, where pricing is unavailable, it’s not recommended unless Google-free operation is acceptable—most users there depend on Play Store apps daily.
