Background and Identification

The Huawei Nova 5T was released in September 2019 and manufactured by Huawei. The Nova 5T includes models YAL-L21, YAL-L61, YAL-L71, and YAL-L61D.

The Huawei Nova 5T includes a 6.26-inch display with a resolution of 1080 by 2340 pixels. It features Dual-SIM capabilities, meaning it contains two Nano-SIM cards and operates with one SIM card while the other is on standby. The Nova 5T was released with 128 GB of internal storage and either 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM. It features a quad camera with a 48-megapixel wide lens, a 16-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth lens. It also includes a 32-megapixel front-facing camera. The phone contains a 3750 mAh non-removable battery, meaning the battery’s adhesive is permanent, making repair and replacement difficult, but not necessarily impossible.

The Huawei Nova 5T was released in black, blue, purple, and green body colors. Its quad cameras are located in the phone’s back upper left-hand corner with the lenses oriented vertically. The name “Huawei” is printed in capital letters in the lower left-hand corner of the phone, also oriented vertically. On some Nova 5T models, the name “Huawei” is located next to the phone’s cameras rather than in the bottom left-hand corner. Some models include the letters “OOCA” with the “OO” above the “CA.”
