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.

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.
