First Impressions
- With its star effect finishing, the HUAWEI Nova Y61 sports a completely new appearance. Midnight Black, Sapphire Blue, and Mint Green are the three shiny hues available for the phone. It’s a pleasure to look at and hold, thanks to the refined beveling design. Flat and matte in texture, with all the necessary buttons and functionality, the phone exudes an air of refined simplicity.
- The camera’s module is fashioned like a square, and it includes three separate cameras. The 50-megapixel main camera has a powerful F1.8 aperture to capture daily situations in HD magnificence, the 4-centimeter macro camera brings microscopic worlds into focus for awe-inspiring close-ups, and the depth camera applies amazing bokeh effects.
- You can take stunning portraits with the camera thanks to its Super Night Mode, AI SnapShot (which adjusts the shutter speed automatically to catch moving scenes), Large Aperture Bokeh, Light Painting Mode, Slow Motion, Continuous Front/Rear Recording, and a variety of Selfie Modes.
- Because the phone comes equipped with a 5000 mAh battery3, you will be able to stream all of your preferred movies without having to worry about running out of power before the end of the day.
- The HUAWEI 22.5 W SuperCharge2 is equipped with Battery Safety Assistant and 20-Layer Battery Protection, allowing you to quickly and safely top off your battery when you need to.
- It also has a silky smooth screen that can be dimmed to your liking with the built-in Smooth Screen Dimming Control and quickly switched to E-books Mode or Eye Comfort Mode to reduce eye strain while reading or surfing the web.
- With 8x Ultra High-Resolution Touching, the phone’s touch controls are even more precise than the screen resolution.
From what I can tell, the Huawei Nova Y61 is the right phone for you if you want a high-end aesthetic at a reasonable price with a powerful battery that will last all day. When compared to other budget smartphones, the Huawei Nova Y6 offers competitive, if not superior, performance in terms of usability, camera quality, and general design.
