Display and OS
The big disadvantage of Nova Y60 is a poor display. Nova Y60 used TFT technology and limited to HD+ resolution, not delivering Full HD+ content.
Android 11 comes pre-installed with EMUI 11.0.1. You got better navigation, dynamic media controls, built-in screen recorder, greater control over conversation, notification history (recalling cleared notifications), and temporary permission for apps for a better privacy. An amazing feature is a Schedule Dark Theme. As the name shows, it lets you choose when your phone should adapt to Dark mode. Unfortunately, it does not support Google Mobile Services like Play Store, YouTube. All of them got replaced with HMS core. Huawei Mobile Services give you alternative for all GMS applications.
