Nova Y72 MGA-LX3 Dual SIM Green 8GB RAM 128GB 4G Review – Middle East Version
Introduction
The Huawei Nova Y72 MGA-LX3 has arrived, promising a compelling blend of affordability, large screen real estate, and impressive battery life. This review dives deep into my experience using the Middle East version of this dual-SIM Android smartphone, exploring its strengths and weaknesses in detail. I’ve put it through its paces over the past few weeks, testing everything from its camera capabilities to its daily performance under demanding workloads.
Features and Design
The Nova Y72 immediately impresses with its 6.75-inch OLED display. The screen is vibrant, offering crisp colors and good viewing angles. The stated 720×1560 resolution is adequate for everyday use, though not the highest resolution available in this price range. The “Eye Comfort” and “E-book” modes are genuinely helpful for reducing eye strain during extended use. The frosted textured body feels premium and provides excellent grip, preventing accidental drops.
The design is sleek and modern, though admittedly somewhat generic. The “starry circle” design element is subtle but adds a nice touch. The phone feels substantial in the hand thanks to its large battery, but it’s not overly bulky or heavy.

Performance and Battery Life
The 8GB of RAM coupled with the Android operating system provides smooth multitasking capabilities for most users. I didn’t experience any significant lag or stuttering during normal use, including running multiple apps simultaneously. However, more demanding games might push the limits occasionally. The 6000mAh battery is a star performer. I consistently got over two days of moderate use on a single charge, which is exceptional. The HUAWEI SuperCharge feature also speeds up charging significantly.
Camera Performance
The 50MP+2MP primary camera system delivers decent image quality in good lighting conditions. Photos are generally sharp and well-exposed. Low-light performance is acceptable, but not outstanding. The 8-11.9MP secondary camera is adequate for selfies and video calls. Overall, the camera system is a solid performer for its price point, although it’s not a flagship-level camera by any means. Video recording quality is decent for everyday use but lacks advanced features found on more premium devices.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent battery life, large and vibrant display, smooth performance for daily tasks, comfortable grip, affordable price.
- Cons: Display resolution could be higher, camera performance is not top-tier, lack of expandable storage.
Final Verdict
The Huawei Nova Y72 MGA-LX3 is a solid budget smartphone offering exceptional battery life and a pleasant user experience. While the camera and display resolution aren’t cutting-edge, the overall package is hard to beat at its price point. If you prioritize long battery life and smooth daily performance, the Nova Y72 is a worthy contender. I would recommend this phone to anyone looking for a reliable and long-lasting device without breaking the bank.
