Huawei Mobile Kenya has announced that the NOVA Y70 will be available in the market from June 24th 2022. Pricing starts at KES 24,999. If you want to pre-order the device before the official launch, you can do so from June 17th. Pre-order customers will get free Bluetooth headphones.
The NOVA Y70 follows up on the NOVA Y60 that was introduced back in December 2021. You now get a larger display, a larger battery, faster charging and more storage.
Speaking of the latest phone in the market, Huawei Mobile Kenya Country Head, Jim Zhijue said, “Huawei NOVA Y70 has inherited the NOVA Y Series’ excellent DNA to bring a series of impressive features, including a 6.75-inch HUAWEI FullView Display, a large 6000mAh battery, 22.5W Huawei SuperCharge solution, 128GB large storage and the powerful EMUI 12 operating system, while continuing to bring consumers a more innovative, smoother, and smarter user experience.”
“Thanks to the optimised power consumption capabilities of apps, Huawei NOVA Y70 can identify and turn off the power consumption of non-user reserved applications and non-core applications, while turning on Low Battery mode when the battery is at 5% to standby up to 12 hours before shutting down. In addition, Huawei NOVA Y70 can provide an output of 5V/1A to support wired reverse charging for devices such as Huawei smartwatches, bands and smartphones wherever you are.” He concluded
