While Huawei hasn’t revealed all the details just yet, early leaks and official specs are already giving us a solid first look. This sleek mid-range device appears to prioritise design and performance and it's positioning itself as a serious contender in the budget-friendly smartphone space.We’re taking a deeper look at everything we know about the Huawei nova Y73 features so far, and whether it’s one to keep on your radar. (Spoiler: We vote yes!)But here’s why it gets our vote.The Huawei nova Y73 looks to be a global version of the Enjoy 80, Huawei’s China-only release. While the core specs appear similar, there are a few changes to look out for, including a reduced range of colour options. It’s not a complete one-to-one rebrand and these tiny adjustments could impact how the phone is received in different markets. Let’s check out what has already been shared about the global release of the Huawei nova Y73 so far.Design and DisplayWhile the original Enjoy 80 launched in four colours, the Huawei nova Y73 is expected to keep things minimal with just two options here in South Africa. Light Blue and Black. This limited range might be disappointing but Huawei’s nova line is known for sleek design, premium feel and great build quality and the Huawei nova Y73 looks set to follow suit.The Huawei nova Y73 comes with a 6.67-inch display, offering plenty of screen space for streaming, scrolling and gaming, while still feeling comfortable to use one-handed. It also features aluminosilicate glass for added durability and an always-on display for quick access to key info.Camera QualitySo far, it looks like the Huawei nova Y73 will come equipped with a 50MP main camera, giving you the tools to capture detailed shots whether you're out in bright daylight or snapping quick moments on the go.On the front, there’s an 8MP selfie camera that can handle video calls, selfies and content creation with ease. While this setup won’t compete with flagship cameras, it’s a decent offering for users who want cameras that get the job done in style but without the heavy price tag that often comes with phones that produce that quality.Battery and PerformanceThe Huawei nova Y73 packs a lot of power into its body thanks to the 6 620 mAh battery with 40W fast charging. It’s built to keep up whether you’re a casual scroller or a dedicated streamer binge-watching your favourite shows. It’s paired with 8GB of RAM, delivering smooth performance for everyday tasks, light multitasking and app switching without a hitch.While storage hasn’t been officially confirmed, it’s expected to launch with either 128GB or 256GB. It will be a win either way because these are both great options for users who store plenty of photos, apps and offline content.On the software side, the Huawei nova Y73 will run EMUI 15, based on Android 12, offering a familiar Android experience with Huawei’s own custom features and optimisations.Overall ValueThe Huawei nova Y73 delivers solid value for money, especially for users prioritising battery life, sleek design and reliable day-to-day performance without breaking the bank. However, it’s worth noting the phone does not include a microSD card slot, so you’ll need to make do with the internal storage available. If storage is important to you, the 256GB version is definitely the better choice to avoid running out of space.Of course, like other recent Huawei models, the Huawei nova Y73 does not support Google services. While Huawei’s AppGallery continues to grow and improve, the absence of Google apps may be a dealbreaker if you rely heavily on Google’s ecosystem.But if you’re using your phone for all the basics – picture taking, calls, social scrolling – you’ll still be able to with the Huawei AppGallery’s offerings.Verdict While the Huawei nova Y73 won’t blow you away with flagship-level specs like say a Huawei Mate X model might, it’s also not going to throw your budget out the window.Its 50MP camera, large 6.67-inch display and huge 6 620 mAh battery make it a strong contender for anyone wanting a quality specs out of their new device but don’t want to compromise on having a dependable, easy to use and easy to afford device.From the released details, it looks like the Huawei nova Y73 balances solid performance and stylish design with features that matter most to users. If you’re looking for an affordable phone that covers the essentials and offers reliable battery life, the Huawei nova Y73 definitely deserves a closer look before you make your next smartphone decision.FAQsWhen will the Huawei nova Y73 be released globally?
