Huawei has silently announced the Huawei Nova Y9a smartphone in South Africa. The trend of pop-up selfie camera phones has almost gone since most smartphones available in the market either sport a punch-hole or a waterdrop notch display design.

Here is all the information on the specifications, features, and pricing of the Nova Y9a.
