Things have not been going well for Huawei, which was blacklisted in 2019 on the grounds that it has direct links with the Chinese state. The company, which faced various difficulties due to the sanctions and lost its weight in the sector to a great extent, is currently working hard to get back to its old days.
Huawei introduced the Nova Y9a model, which appeals to the middle segment a while ago. So what does the smartphone offer to users?
Huawei Nova Y9a features
Huawei Nova Y9a has a 6.63-inch IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The screen-to-body ratio of the device is 92 percent.
The smartphone is powered by the MediaTek Helio G80 processor. Produced with a 12 nm fabrication process, the chipset hosts Mali-G52 MC2 graphics unit in addition to two 2.0 GHz ARM Cortex-A75 and six 1.8 GHz ARM Cortex-A55 cores.
Nova Y9a is available to users with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage. If users wish, they can increase the storage with the NM card slot.
On the front, there is a 16 Megapixel pop-up selfie camera with f / 2.2 aperture, while on the back there is a quad camera setup consisting of a 64 Megapixel main camera, 8 Megapixel ultra wide angle, 2 Megapixel macro and 2 Megapixel depth sensor. It should be noted that features such as super night mode, EIS and 1080p video shooting are also available on the device.
Powered by a 4,300mAh battery that supports 40W SuperCharge fast charging technology that can be charged via USB-C, the smartphone runs Android 10 based EMUI 10.1 interface right out of the box. Apart from that, due to the sanctions imposed on Huawei, the smartphone does not have Google support.
