Editorial report

Huawei nova Y72 technical sheet

The Huawei nova Y72 suits buyers who want a large display and a high-capacity battery, but its screen detail and performance are weaker than those of most phones of its time. Its 6000 mAh battery has more capacity than most; 22.5 W charging is typical. That combination puts the emphasis on battery capacity rather than especially fast charging.

The TFT LCD display measures 6.75″ and has a pixel density of 260 ppi, among the lowest of phones of its time. The Huawei Kirin 710A and 128 GB storage are also weaker than most, while its AnTuTu score is among the lowest. The phone has 8 GB RAM, a 50 MP camera, Android 12 and stereo speakers. NFC, dual Nano-SIM and Bluetooth 5.1 round out a typically placed connectivity setup. The camera overall is worse than most phones of its time, though it includes HDR and records video at 1080p and 30 fps. Overall, the Huawei nova Y72 is worse than most phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 4.7. It is best suited to buyers who prioritize a 6000 mAh battery and can accept less display detail and weaker performance.
