Editor Rating
4.1/5

The Huawei Nova series is full of lots of good-looking and efficient smartphones that are available at affordable prices. The new Nova Y90 is no exception, with a striking new design that features a raised circular camera array in the back and a slightly shimmery texture on the back. On the front, you get a responsive 90Hz display with good colour accuracy and a full HD resolution. Everything is run off a Snapdragon 680 processor, which is powered by a massive 5000mah battery. Thankfully, you get 40W fast charge support, so it shouldn’t be too hard to keep it topped off.

Bottom Line

The Huawei Nova Y90 is a great entry-level smartphone that delivers enough reliable performance and sturdy build quality at a truly affordable price. Some corners have been cut when it comes to camera performance and charging capacities, but it should not hinder the overall user experience.
