Top 5 highlights of Huawei Y9 Prime 2019

1. Premium design - It is one of the most affordable smartphones with a true full-screen FHD+ display with a 91.006 percent screen-to-body ratio. It also has a 3D curved back design and slim bezels. To round it up, the pop-up selfie camera makes it look more stylish by eliminating the need for a notch.

It has a better AnTuTu score than the Nova 3i

2. Respectable performance - Having the Kirin 710F in its core, Huawei did not compromise performance for the Y9 Prime 2019's design-centric approach. The Huawei Y9 Prine 2019 scored 142k on AnTuTu which is a substantial lead over the Nova 3i. It also has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage which is plenty enough for multitasking and gaming.

The triple camera setup is impressive especially with the Super Night Mode

3. All-day battery life - The main concern with big-screen smartphones is battery life. Bigger screens need more power. The Y9 Prime 2019 can get you a full day with its 4,000mAh battery. During our PCMark battery benchmark, it garnered around 10 hours. 

That is under strenuous testing which is quite different from daily usage. This can easily get you through a day with power to spare once you get home especially with a power-efficient 12nm Kirin 710F processor. It also has USB-C connectivity which is still uncommon at this price range.

4.  Triple cameras with Super Night Mode - A triple camera setup at this price range is still not that common. The Y9 Prime 2019 has 16MP f/1.8 + 8MP f/2.4 120-degree ultra wide-angle lens + 2MP f/2.4 sensors with PDAF and LED flash. In addition, it utilizes AI and a dedicated Super Night Mode.

The pop-up selfie camera allowed the Y9 Prime 2019 to achieve a full-screen design

5. Affordable price - Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 one of 2019's bang-for-the-buck devices. The all-screen design, triple cameras, and capable specs along with a big battery make for a compelling package at PHP 12,990.

There are few phones with faster chips for the price, but all of them don't have the all-screen experience, pop-up cam, and triple-cam of the Y9 Prime 2019.
