Huawei nova 14i vs Huawei nova Y74
Comparison between Huawei nova 14i and Huawei nova Y74: camera, battery, fast charging, display, performance and colors, side by side. More phones from Huawei.
NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Huawei nova 14i suits buyers seeking a larger, sharper display and more battery capacity, while the nova Y74 is the better fit for fast charging and an ultrawide camera. The overall gap is narrow: each phone leads in different uses.
The nova 14i has a 6.95″ display versus 6.67″ and 376 ppi versus 264 ppi, with 1080 px × 2376 px instead of 720 px × 1604 px. It also leads the measured performance result, scoring 416 versus 352 in Geekbench 6 single-core. The Snapdragon 680 is ahead of the Kirin 710 on that result, while both phones have 8 GB of RAM, eMMC 5.1 storage and a maximum capacity of 256 GB.
The nova Y74 counters with an ultrawide camera that the nova 14i lacks, Bluetooth 5.1 versus 5.0 and 40 W charging versus 22.5 W; its body is also thinner at 8.3 mm versus 8.9 mm. The nova 14i keeps the battery-capacity advantage at 7,000 mAh versus 6,620 mAh and offers Wi-Fi 5 versus Wi-Fi 4 on the Y74. The choice is therefore display and capacity, or an ultrawide camera and faster charging.
