Design and Display

Huawei Y9 (2018) is a definition of what you call modern design, coming with bezel-less display, 18:9 aspect ratio and a metallic unibody. The top bezels have been trimmed down so that the much of the display can be accommodated.

This gives you a smartphone that has a large screen without the phone being unnecessarily large. However, am not really a fan of having a logo on both the front (below the display) and centrally at the back.

From a mid-range smartphone you don’t expect more than what you have on the Huawei Y9 (2018). It fits perfectly if you are a fan of large display towering up to 5.93-inch and has a crisp and decent colour representation. Featuring a 2160 X 1080 pixels resolution, you have a 407 ppi pixel density and decent viewing angle.

Battery and Camera

It also ticks the box for enough battery power with a 4, 000 mAh which is quite sufficient to last a day of normal usage which include chatting, surfing the internet, wi-fi connection and watching clips etc.

Also, it charges through a MicroUSB port using a quick charge feature that delivers more charge in a relatively short time.

As for taking pictures, you are provided with a not too common quad camera arrangement. Which means you have a dual camera at the back and another at the front making it four cameras in total.

There’s a 13MP and 2MP dual front camera and a 16MP plus 2MP dual camera on the rear panel. The small pixel camera is meant for background detail to make a better picture.
