Top 5 highlights of Huawei Y7a

1. Top-center punch hole - Huawei Y7a, being priced for only PHP 8,999, is a rare entry-level smartphone to carry a top-center punch-hole design. This complements the smartphone's impressive 6.67-inch 2.5D curved LCD display with FHD+ 2400 x 1080 resolution.

2. BIG battery - The Y7a packs a huge 5,000mAh battery paired with a 22.5W SuperCharge charger.

3. 48MP quad AI cameras - For an under PHP 10K smartphone, Huawei Y7a's quad-camera setup is a great advantage for those who want an upgrade without spending too much. As reported in our unboxing, the Y7a has a night mode which is kind of rare for smartphones at this price point.

4. Capable internals - Huawei Y7a is packed with Kirin 710A CPU along with coupled with Mali G51 MP4 GPU, 4GB RAM, and 128GB storage. Our initial experience with the smartphone is smooth and fast.

5. Responsive security features - This smartphone is equipped with both face to unlock and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The latter is so fast and responsive as well as the face unlocks. One advantage of Huawei Y7a's face unlock is that it can read my face even if I am wearing a face mask. Cool, right?
