Huawei nova Y91 - user opinions and reviews

If you want to preserve the battery, Huawei has industry-leading charging limiter, the only brand that allows 70 percent. I've been charging mine from 20-70 percent for two years and Accubattery app shows 96 percent battery health! A slower 1A charger for the night. And one that supports 5V 4.5A during the day. The healthiest charging at around 17W! Because the 10V 2.25A is more aggressive due to higher voltage. It takes around an hour to charge from 20 to 70. I plug it in every time before eating, or bathing. These simple tasks save a lot of money and headaches.

After full os update, install microG services. Then, just download the .APK and install it. Works better, especially for Gmail. Gbox didn't work as good as Gspace. But Gspace is somewhat glitchy and buggy, especially with Gmail. Letters would be paused and never sent, which made me lose an important interview. Google maps works like a charm with the gigantic 7 Ah battery and energy efficient SD 680 chipset. Gspace also didn't work well with tbi bank's app, where it fails to download invoices to be phone memory. USB audio player pro didn't recognise my licence in Gspace via Google Play store. Aside from that, the phone's incredible. Better display and speakers than Honor 200 Pro, who never did the white balance right for human photos and I sold it. Having tried a dozen phones, I keep coming back to Y91. To add eSim, just buy the full kit package of 9esim on AliExpress. Reddit has much info on that. 5ber stopped working, maybe they are out of business.

Werner, 02 Oct 2024Hi the Nova Y91 does the have Googls apps? Such as Google, Google maps? Does the phone support... moreAfter the new micro G services, it supports all of them. I installed Google maps from Aptoide and I tested it working. Before installing microG services,.it couldn't work with Google maps. This made it a godsend. U Ah battery, the biggest non-foldable display on the market...More than durable. A bunch of updates after manual checking, running Emui 14.2.0.166 and I agree. The phone's ahead of our times and phenomenal.

Battery life's phenomenal. Especially for such a big screen. Kudos to Gsmarena for presenting the phone display size in square cm. 4 days with light use! It's unheard of. I set the charging limit in battery health menu to 70 percent. And it lasts two days. That's how I will get 5-10 years out of it. I sold the Honor 200 Pro for the Y91, due to Horror having inferior speakers, inferior display (tinted in yellowish green, no matter what you do, pwm giving me a headache), getting hot easily, and having 5.2 Ah battery, while the Y91 has 7 Ah! I spent a week with both phones. I put professionally edited photos from a high resolution Sony camera in both, to compare the screens. That tint on the Horror and uneven sharpness - yuck. I didn't care if them crapoled is much brighter in sunlight, the LCD was decent. Y91 has awesome melodies, especially the Sunlit garden and Bell (for messages). Small tweaks in the OS were also decisive, like showing for how many seconds did the missed call ring...and the automatic manager, and so on. I used Gspace to emulate Google apps, worked better for me than Gbox. Since the phone comes without them. I got many other phones that do have them and I still return to the Huawei everytime.

I have trouble understanding the hate about this phone. It is unique. I returned a Honor 200 Pro, because of inferior speakers, poor battery life, smaller screen with fake crapOLED colours, and overall fragile look. I am a pro photographer, so I always tuned out the best I could, and I don`t need the camera, I always carry one with me. I am a light user, zero gaming, and I get two days battery life, charging it from 20-70%, and with a full charge, almost 4 days. Even in EU roaming! The big real estate of the screen makes it very enjoying to browse info, and the orange-yellow menu and wallpaper colours are plain beautiful. I tried Pura 70 Ultra in the store, but I have trouble seeing what more it can offer me. Since Huawei phones are stuck on Android 12 with inferior SoC. Nevertheless, this is absolutely the best phone for me, and I get regular updates. It was a very hard week until I get used and tweak everything, I was very sorry that I bought it. Now, I just love it. I regularly use Brave browser with some 30 tabs opened, and it does not slow down. The Huawei Find and cloud stuff, I prefer them to Google`s solutions. Some clever software tweaks make this even more enjoyable, like when it shows a missed calls - it informs you for how many seconds the phone ran. Also the built-in optimizer that asks you to delete junk from time to time, unobtrusive. I cannot wait for the successor.

This phone has the unique feature to custom limit charging at 70%. This is incredibly healthy, so is the 5V / 4.5A charging, that works with Kuulaa chargers and with Anker 323. It takes less than an hour from 20-70% and it is still enough for me for two days of light use. It also survived quite a flight from my electric scooter on asphalt, only the screen protector broke. Best speakers in the business, like a home stereo, tall and wide display, low price...need I say more? So many unique features of Harmony OS, like the notification how many seconds did the caller ring for...I could go on and on. I am thinking of buying another one.I would not let go any of these features, let alone the low price, for a 1000 dollars laundry-blueish crapOLED and a glass body expensive phone.
