Been using the Y9A for about 3 weeks (South Africa, FRL-22, EMUI 10.0.1)

These are my personal opinions:

Pros:
• 40W Charging is a bonus
• Screen is huge and pretty bright
• Fingerprint scanner is very accurate
• Camera can be excellent in *certain cases
• EIS does a good job at smoothing out bumps
• App Gallery does a good job with adding new apps

Cons:
• No 4K video option (even though it should be there)
• No portrait mode (except with AI scene detection)
• No burst shot (even though it should be there)
• No light trails or slow motion
• The supposed Super Night Mode is absolutely terrible
• Auto camera is often overexposed and oversaturated
• Selfie camera over-beautifies even with Beauty on 0
• Helio SoC sometimes feels sluggish
• The lack of 60FPS video recording is concerning
• The geo-tagging is a little wonky

Overall an acceptable handset for the price, but you can find better alternatives in this price segment with a little patience. Don't expect wonders from this handset, as it is a lower tier mid-ranger at best.

You're wrong. 425$ is entering mid range territory. Go see what the r edmi note 10 pro does for only 294$ because it's clear you don't know what you are talking about

Huawei is really alienating the few supporters they have in South Africa with this crap. Releasing a Y Series phone (released in 2020) in our country under the Nova moniker, claiming it's a "new" addition. Very poor form, and hideously overpriced for the specs.
