The Huawei Nova Y90 is one of the latest smartphones from the company to launch in Kenya. The phone is currently available in retail stores for Ksh 35,000. At this price, the Nova Y90 is a direct competitor to the Redmi Note 11 Pro, Infinix Zero 20 among other devices. This is a very competitive segment with very good phones available to choose from.
We don’t see much from Huawei these days but the company still has some amazing devices on the market. The Nova Y90 is one of them. It does fit well into the company’s portfolio that is still expanding. This phone joins the Huawei Nova Y70 that was launched in the country back in July.
The Huawei Nova Y90 has some impressive specs but as expected, it does not support Google services. This has been the biggest hurdle for Huawei the past few years. With no Google services support, it does limit its adoption and expansion to most markets including Kenya. Even with that said, Huawei has been active and the Nova Y90 is evident of that.
Have a look at its specifications below.
