Huawei nova Y72

Despite challenges faced by Huawei, their smartphones continue to impress with innovative features. The Nova Y72 is one such device, boasting a 6.75-inch display, Kirin 7108 processor, and dual main camera with a 50-megapixel sensor. We put this phone to the test to see if it lives up to its promise as a daily driver. Our review will explore its design, display, performance, battery life, cameras, and more, giving you an in-depth look at whether the Nova Y72 is a good choice for your needs.

Honor X7

The Honor X7 is a mid-range smartphone that arrived on the market in April 2022. Despite its relatively modest specs, including a 720p display and Android 11, I found it to be surprisingly good for everyday use. The phone's performance was more than sufficient for social media, camera usage, and light gaming. However, some areas of the device fell short, particularly the inconsistent focus on the main camera and lackluster selfie camera quality.
