      Pop Up camera is a bad choice on the long run...

                    GeeMan ZA, 21 Apr 2022Been using the Y9A for about 3 weeks (South Africa, FRL-22,... moreI’m surprised in the end you bought it lol. I went rather for the nova y70 plus. It’s more recent and actually costs cheaper than this phone.

                      Been using the Y9A for about 3 weeks (South Africa, FRL-22, EMUI 10.0.1)

                      These are my personal opinions:

                      Pros:
                      • 40W Charging is a bonus
                      • Screen is huge and pretty bright
                      • Fingerprint scanner is very accurate
                      • Camera can be excellent in *certain cases
                      • EIS does a good job at smoothing out bumps
                      • App Gallery does a good job with adding new apps

                      Cons:
                      • No 4K video option (even though it should be there)
                      • No portrait mode (except with AI scene detection)
                      • No burst shot (even though it should be there)
                      • No light trails or slow motion
                      • The supposed Super Night Mode is absolutely terrible
                      • Auto camera is often overexposed and oversaturated
                      • Selfie camera over-beautifies even with Beauty on 0
                      • Helio SoC sometimes feels sluggish
                      • The lack of 60FPS video recording is concerning
                      • The geo-tagging is a little wonky

                      Overall an acceptable handset for the price, but you can find better alternatives in this price segment with a little patience. Don't expect wonders from this handset, as it is a lower tier mid-ranger at best.

                        Y9a is a good phone, it's what I'm using to reply.

                                    Which phone is the best to buy? Huawei Nova Y9A or Huawei Nova 8i? According to specs

                                      Kuzgun, 20 Jan 2022What did you expect for an entry level phone? A Huawei Mate... moreFor 400$ you think this is pretty good? You're wrong. 425$ is entering mid range territory. Go see what the r edmi note 10 pro does for only 294$ because it's clear you don't know what you are talking about

                                        Huawei is really alienating the few supporters they have in South Africa with this crap. Releasing a Y Series phone (released in 2020) in our country under the Nova moniker, claiming it's a "new" addition. Very poor form, and hideously overpriced for the specs.
