The Huawei Nova Y72S 256GB is Huawei Test's 2025 smartphone featuring a 6.75 inches, 110.0 cm2 (~84.1% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM6225 Snapdragon 680 4G (6 nm) chipset. It comes with a 6000 mAh battery. Available in the UAE from AED 699.
The Huawei Nova Y72S 256GB excels with its 6000mAh battery delivering multi-day use on a single charge, 22.5W wired charging for rapid top-ups, and NFC for contactless payments—rare at this price. It targets budget-conscious buyers in UAE who prioritize battery longevity over performance, such as delivery riders or elderly users needing reliable all-day operation without frequent charging. Its 720p IPS LCD screen and Octa-core Kryo 265 chipset struggle with multitasking and gaming, causing noticeable lag in apps like WhatsApp or YouTube. The lack of Google Play Services limits app access, forcing reliance on Huawei’s AppGallery. In UAE at AED 699, it’s competitive because no other 6000mAh phone under AED 750 offers NFC and 22.5W charging. In India, where pricing is unavailable, it would likely be overpriced if above ₹12,999, given Xiaomi and Realme offer similar batteries with Google support at lower costs.
