• Mediocre rear camera shots

The Huawei Y9 2019 features a 6.5-inch display, 13 MP f/1.8 + 2 MP depth f/2.4 rear cameras, at least 3GB of RAM, and a 4000 mAh battery capacity. Could these specs make the Huawei Y9 2019 a fitting competitor over the likes of Vivo Y19 and Oppo A9? Let's find out in our review below.

Performance

The Huawei Y9 2019 is powered by a HiSilicon Kirin 710 chipset that pairs with 3GB of RAM and Mali-G51 MP4 GPU. As such, you can expect that the device will handle both light and moderate smartphone tasks with ease. As for storage memory, the Huawei Y9 2019 comes in 64GB and 128GB storage variants.

When it comes to the Huawei Y9 2019’s custom Android skin - EMUI 8.2, it offers great UI features including the following:

• Integrated the Huawei GPU Turbo acceleration technology.
• Now supported with Artificial Image Stabilization
• UserAgent supported for Airtel
• Stability issues fixed for Swift app, Party mode app, and Watermark
• Security Patch
• Improved Security System

Battery Life

In the battery department, the Huawei Y9 2019 is fitted with a 4000 mAh cell that allows the device to last all day with mixed casual use, including social media, online streaming, GPS, and watching YouTube videos, as well as playing low-and-mid-spec mobile games.

As for connectivity features, the Huawei Y9 2019 has all the usual ones including Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS, and 4G LTE. It has dual SIM support that makes switching from one network to another possible. The Y9 2019 also has a gyroscope sensor that makes it possible for users to play AR games.

For a budget phone with a sizeable battery, it would make sense for the Huawei Y9 to use a USB-C port. Not because many competing smartphone manufacturers have started integrating that into their budget devices, but because it would make the Y9’s charging time a bit faster.

Display

The Huawei Y9 2019 is fitted with a 6.5-inch IPS LCD (1080 x 2340 pixels) display which boasts good visuals and a balanced contrast. With this display quality, the Huawei Y9 2019 delivers great viewing and gaming experience, making it a good device for media binging.

Design

In terms of the build, the Huawei Y9 2019 comes with a glass front, plastic back, and plastic frame. On the front, the device features a 6.5-inch display and dual 16 MP + 2 MP selfie cameras. Its back panel is equipped with two rear cameras: 13 MP f/1.8 + 2 MP depth f/2.4 sensors. Besides that, the device comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and is available in three colors: Midnight Black, Sapphire Blue, and Aurora Purple.

Camera

The Huawei Y9 2019 is technically impressive, as it is fitted with two rear sensors. You'll get 13 MP f/1.8 + 2 MP depth f/2.4 sensors that will step up your photography game. You can also expect vibrant and crisp selfies, as the Huawei Y9 2019 comes with 16 MP f/2.0 + 2 MP depth f/2.4 selfie cameras.

Meanwhile, the photos taken during night time, under sufficient lighting, come out with the right amount of color and detail. But under low light, there’s a lack of detail and discernible noise. This is already expected since the Huawei Y9 2019 lacks a dedicated night mode, so users have no choice but to stick with the standard photo mode if they want to capture images in low light.

The Huawei Y9 2019 is one of Huawei’s budget phones, so it is expected that the cameras on this device are decent, at the very least. However, the shots produced by the rear cameras, while appearing good, come out with monotonous color reproduction which is similar to selfies.

Huawei Y9 Price Philippines

Today, the lowest price for Huawei Y9 2019 can be found at leading online marketplaces like Amazon, Lazada, Shopee, and Galleon. The mobile phone comes in three colors – Midnight Black, Sapphire Blue, Aurora Purple. Besides Y9 2019, check out other smartphones from Huawei including Huawei Nova 3i, Huawei Y6, Huawei P30, Huawei P30 Pro, Huawei Y9, Huawei Y6 Pro 2019, Huawei P30 Lite, and Huawei Mate 20 Pro.

The Huawei Y9 2019 is a great deal for those looking for an affordable phone, but it comes with some specs that don’t fall far from other budget phones, as well as new features that don’t live up to expectations.
