Nova Y61 immediately makes a wow effect with its star-effect finishing, a dazzling outfit available in Midnight Black, Sapphire Blue, and Mint Green — each one sporting a glossy, eye-catching appearance that is proportionately elegant and young at heart.
It’s a slim, stylish package that comes in at 164.28 mm × 75.8 mm × 8.94 mm and weighs approximately 188 g, so it’s a comfortable one-handed Huawei.
The Display & Performance Snapshot
- Screen: 6.52-inch IPS LCD, HD+ resolution (1600 × 720 pixels), 60 Hz refresh rate. Nice and clear for everyday use like browsing, scrolling, and streaming (Huawei Consumer).
- Processor: Powering this show is the Kirin 710 (12 nm), an octa-core chip with 4×2.2 GHz Cortex-A73 + 4×1.7 GHz Cortex-A53, paired with a Mali-G51 MP4 GPU—enough to meet daily needs and casual gaming (Device Specifications, Mobos Data).
- Memory: Configurations include 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, or 6 GB RAM + 64 GB in select Asia-Pacific markets. And yes, you can expand with microSD! (Huawei Consumer, Mobos Data).
Shootin’ with Style: Camera Rundown
This little champ rocks a 50 MP AI triple rear camera, complete with:
- 50 MP main shooter (f/1.8) – sharp and bright for stunning shots (Huawei Consumer, Gizmochina).
- Macro lens – get up-close and capture tiny details with clarity (Huawei Consumer).
- Depth sensor – adds that creamy, dreamy bokeh to your portraits (Huawei Consumer).
- Video: Up to 1080p@30fps.
- Front camera: A modest 5 MP (f/2.2), still good for casual selfies and video calls.
Battery & Charging—All Day Power
Packing a 5000 mAh battery, this device easily cruises through your day.
And here’s the kicker: 22.5 W SuperCharge means you get a notable power top-up in just 30 minutes—think about 6 extra hours of video or browsing in a flash (Gizmochina, gadgetcentral.co.ke, IMEI.org).
Software & Extras
- UI: Ships with EMUI 12 based on Android 11—but without Google Play Services (Huawei fans know the drill) (Wikipedia, Mobile Kishop).
- Connectivity highlights include USB-C, 3.5 mm headphone jack, NFC, GPS (A-GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo), a side fingerprint sensor, and essential sensors like proximity, light, and accelerometer (Mobos Data).
Flashback: Y61 vs. Its Predecessor (Y60)
The Huawei Nova Y60 (2021) was not necessarily a top-tiered device, with the main back a 13 MP still and video camera and an ultra-wide 5 MP, with a depth sensor of 2 MP on there as well, and on the front was a mere 8 MP camera for selfies, while the outside was a plain that sported plain inside specs.
Its follow up, the Nova Y61 (2022), stepped things up a level with a 50 MP main camera backed up by macro and depth sensors, a refreshed, vibrant design, the same huge battery with faster charging and a software upgrade to EMUI 12.
In other words, the Y61 offers a meaner mug and a major upgrade in imaging muscle.
Final Geek-Out Thoughts
Let’s scale down the hype: the Huawei Nova Y61 is a wonderfully balanced budget phone that brings modern flair and practical punch.
Its design is youthful and reflective, the battery lasts all day, the charging is speedy, and the cameras? A definite delight for the price tier.
Perfect for someone who wants oomph in style and functionality—without breaking the bank.
