The battery life on this is one of the standout features, a 5 000 milliamp hour battery does an excellent job keeping up with you know all-day battery use giving me solid 8 hours plus of on-screen time
A 40 watt Huawei supercharge included in the box that also gives me up to 50 charge in just under 30 minutes and while we've done all of this without damaging the overall battery health
The Nova y90 comes with a 6GB or as I have here an 8GB version paired with 128 gigabytes of storage, which is decent for daily use and gaming at low to medium settings
