Huawei Nova Y60 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Huawei Nova Y60 - long-lasting boredom

The borderline of low and middle price segments for the Chinese company Huawei can hardly be called profitable, because it is not easy to single out standing smartphones of a corporation in the indicated cost range. The hero of today's review is unlikely to fundamentally correct the situation due to outright technological backwardness and problems with photographic capabilities. But many opponents will envy its autonomy.

The appearance of the novelty is easy to positively note for the transfer of the fingerprint sensor to the side face, the block of three cameras, which is actual in its design, as well as the pretty black and green colors of the cases. The back panel itself is made of inexpensive plastic that quickly collects numerous scratches, the display bezels are quite wide, the form factor of the 8-megapixel selfie camera was outdated a couple of years ago. The aforementioned shortcomings of the exterior are unlikely to please the buyer, as well as the modest resolution of the IPS- display at 1600x720 pixels. Small fonts cannot be considered clear, the displayed image seems to be friable. Brightness and contrast of the OGS-panel are standard for devices of this price tag.

Do not overwhelm the imagination with performance or energy efficiency and specifications. For the asking price, I would like to see something more interesting than the Mediatek Helio P35 CPU, 4GB of RAM and the PowerVR GE8320 graphics adapter, because such a bundle cannot cope with resource-intensive games, and sometimes even with the Android 11 interface. Jamming of the proprietary shell will not be a frequent occurrence, however, it is impossible not to notice the delay when launching applications. At the same time, a 5000mAh battery, thanks to its increased capacity, is still capable of giving more than a dozen hours of active screen time from a single charge. The volume of internal storage of 64GB is not upsetting either. If the ROM is not enough, then no one will prohibit the use of MicroSD cards .

The main 13-, 5- and 2-megapixel modules would be nice in 2018, but now there is nothing to praise them for. Such sensors can provide satisfactory results of photo sessions in daylight and immobility of objects. Noise, smears, unnatural color rendition - this is an incomplete list of what a photographer expects under different shooting conditions. Stereo sound or NFC contactless payment could improve the final impression of the gadget, but they are simply not in the phablet. As a result, we have before us a not particularly remarkable budget Android smartphone, the number of equally functional alternatives to which tends to infinity.
