Huawei's most affordable smartphone in PH yet

Despite its ultra-budget price tag, the Huawei Y5p appears to be a decent smartphone on paper.

The device sports a shifting-color coat effect at the back with a square camera hump in Mint Green, Midnight Black, and Phantom Blue colors. In the front, it comes with a large enough 5.45-inch HD+ screen with an 18:9 screen aspect ratio and no notch.

Inside, it uses the same 2.0GHz 12nm Helio P22 octa-core processor found on the Y6p. Understandably, it is just paired with lower 2GB RAM, 32GB expandable storage, and 3,020mAh battery.

For cameras, it goes with an 8MP f/2.0 shooter at the back. In front, there's a 5MP f/2.0 selfie camera with AI face unlock.

The phone also has 700MHz LTE and Android 10-based EMUI 10.1 skin with HMS and AppGallery.
