Huawei has launched Y9 Prime (2019), the company’s latest mid-end smartphone in Asia. Much like the Y9 (2019) that was introduced in January, it has a 6.5-inch Full HD+ display and is powered by a HiSilicon Kirin 710 chipset, coupled with 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage. It also comes with a 4000mAh battery.
However, the Y9 Prime (2019) does not have a notch unlike the Y9 (2019), it instead uses an elevating mechanism for the 16MP selfie camera. Furthermore, the phone comes equipped with triple rear-facing camera and not dual camera as seen on the former – the main camera has a 16MP sensor, the secondary is an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, while the tertiary 2MP camera is meant for capturing the depth of field.
