Editorial report
Huawei Nova Y72S technical sheet
The Huawei Nova Y72S suits people looking for a large-screen phone with a 6000 mAh battery; the trade-off is a display with modest resolution and pixel density. Its 6.75-inch IPS LCD has 720 × 1600 px resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The 260 ppi density and refresh rate are both worse than those of most phones of its time, making the screen a clear limitation. It also has Always-On Display and an 84.1% screen-to-body ratio.
The 6000 mAh battery supports 22.5 W charging. Both figures are typical among phones launched around the same time, rather than comparative strengths. The Snapdragon 680, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of eMMC 5.1 storage put its performance and hardware at a typical level. Storage is not expandable.
Its 50 MP camera is worse overall than that of most phones of its time, and it has no optical image stabilization. Connectivity also stands worse than most phones launched around the same time, although the phone includes NFC, USB Type-C, Dual SIM and Bluetooth 5.0. It runs Android 12 and does not receive direct OS updates.
With a NeoScore of 5.1 and an overall standing worse than most phones launched around the same time, the Huawei Nova Y72S is a better fit for people who prioritize a large display and high battery capacity than for those who put image detail, camera features or connectivity first.
