Huawei has launched a couple of entry-level phones with a lot of battery, fast charging and a 50-megapixel triple camera
The Huawei Nova Y70 and Huawei Nova Y61 in 2022, but that hasn’t stopped Huawei from now launching a new pair of models in the series: the new Huawei Nova Y62 and Huawei Nova Y62 Plus.
Despite what the names might suggest, the two Huawei Nova Y62 are practically the same except for the RAM, being also very similar to the Nova Y61 of the previous generation, being their main strengths the big battery and the careful design with flat edges.

50 MP camera and plenty of battery
Huawei has launched a couple of mobile phones in the fine line that separates the entry range from the mid-range under the name Huawei Nova Y62 and Huawei Nova Y62 Plus. As is unfortunately usual in the latest releases, Huawei does not reveal the processor to us although the fact that it is at 2.2 GHz and remains on Wi-Fi b/g/n are small, unconfirmed indications that it could be the already legendary (and old) Kirin 710.
What we do know is the memory and storage, which is at the same time the only difference between the Y62 model and the Y62 Plus and, furthermore, with respect to the previous Huawei Y61. Here the Huawei Y62 arrives with a 4+128 GB version, while the Huawei Nova Y62 Plus goes up to 8+128 GB. The Huawei Nova Y61 had 64 GB of storage.
The screen of both terminals is 6.52-inch LCD with HD+ resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate, with a drop-shaped notch to house the 5-megapixel front camera.
Behind, Huawei repeats the same camera of the Y61, with a triple camera with 50 megapixel main lensand a bokeh lens and another macro lens as companions.
A strong point of the Huawei Nova Y62 is its battery with 5,000 mAh capacity and that supports 22.5W fast charging. The phones go on sale with EMUI 12 and have the fingerprint reader on the power button on the side.
Versions and prices of the Huawei Nova Y62
The Huawei Nova Y62 and Nova Y62 Plus are listed on the Huawei website in South Africa, but their price or whether they will be sold in other regions has not yet been revealed. What we do know is that they will be available in blue and black.
