GoSolo Read / what it means5 takeaways

battery

6000mAh, roughly 1.5 days light useThe large capacity means you can read, message, and stream for about 10 to 12 hours of screen time before you need to charge, or stretch it to an evening of light use plus the next morning.

charging

22.5W wired, roughly 90–120 minutesFrom zero to full takes around an hour and a half, so you cannot top up in 15 minutes, but you get a full day from a morning coffee-break charge.

performance

Snapdragon 680, casual apps onlyThe processor handles WhatsApp, email, and light browsing smoothly, but do not expect to run PUBG on high settings or edit video on this device.

display

6.75″ 90Hz LCD, 260ppi densityThe screen is large and smooth for scrolling, but at 720p resolution the pixel grid is visible up close, and the 260ppi is below what modern phones usually deliver.

camera

50MP main, f/1.8, 1080p video onlyThe 50MP sensor with PDAF captures sharp daylight shots and works in low light, but videos top out at 1080p@30fps, so action footage will look soft.

GoSolo Verdict

The Nova Y72S is a large-screen phone built for basic tasks and long battery life, not performance or flagship features. At €240 it makes sense for users in regions where Google Play Services absence is less of a barrier, but the 720p display and Snapdragon 680 feel dated even for the budget tier in 2025.

Strengths · 4

6000 mAh battery stretches to a full day and a half of mixed use, rare in this price bracket
50MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture and PDAF handles daylight and low-light shots capably for everyday photography
6.75-inch screen with 90Hz refresh is large and smooth for reading and scrolling despite the low resolution
Dual SIM and NFC for regional payment systems make it practical in emerging markets where Huawei devices are standard

Trade-offs · 3

720p resolution on a 6.75-inch display leaves visible pixel grid and undercuts rivals now pushing 1080p at this price
Snapdragon 680 is entry-level even by budget standards in 2025; anything beyond messaging, browsing, and light video streaming will feel sluggish
22.5W charging takes 90–120 minutes to full, slower than competitors offering 33W or 45W at the same cost
