Pros and Cons

Huawei nova Y90

Strengths

The mid-range smartphone category is hotting up and one of the new contenders is this boasting nice design impressive battery at an affordable price.
The industrial and boxy look for the phone in line with the look for 2022 you'll notice the chamfered edges on the polycarbonate frame
A clean look that seems familiar that space ring camera design as Huawei call it but more on the camera later
An impressive 6.7 inch edgeless full you display giving you an impressive 94 screen to body ratio yes at this price point it's not OLED but it still does an incredibly good job with the fhd plus and 90 Hertz refresh
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

Huawei nova Y90

The mid-range smartphone category has heated up with the arrival of the Huawei Nova Y90. This device boasts an impressive design, robust battery life, and an affordable price tag. The industrial and boxy look is a departure from traditional aesthetics, while the 6.7-inch edgeless display offers stunning visuals. A 5,000mAh battery ensures all-day power, paired with fast charging capabilities. With its dual SIM support and headphone jack, this phone checks off many boxes for those seeking an affordable yet feature-rich device.

Xiaomi Redmi 9T

The Xiaomi Redmi 9T is an entry-level phone that shares many similarities with its counterpart, the Poco M3. However, there are some notable differences that set it apart. The design, for instance, boasts a glossy metallic finish and a splash-proof build, making it a great option for those who want peace of mind. The device also features NFC support, which is not available on the Poco M3. Under the hood, the Redmi 9T sports a Snapdragon 662 chipset, which provides decent performance but falls short in GPU-intensive tasks. This is likely due to the phone's 1080p display, which can be demanding on the processor. Despite this, the device manages to deliver excellent battery life, with our proprietary tests yielding an impressive 150 hours of usage. The cameras on the Redmi 9T are a mixed bag. The 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera is a welcome addition, but its photos lack detail and sharpness. The main camera takes good photos during the day, but struggles in low light conditions. Night mode does improve the quality, but it's still not up to par with other phones in this price range. In conclusion, the Xiaomi Redmi 9T offers a great balance of features for its price. While it may not excel in every department, it makes up for it with its splash-proof build, NFC support, and excellent battery life. For those looking for an entry-level phone that ticks all the right boxes, the Redmi 9T is definitely worth considering.
