Huawei Y9 launched with an 18:9 display, Kirin 659 SoC and 4 cameras

The Huawei Y9 (2018) is the latest smartphone that seems to be a derivative of the existing Huawei Mate 10 Lite and Honor 9 Lite.

The Y9 (2018) sports a 5.93-inch IPS display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and a 2160 x 1080 resolution. Above the display are dual 16 MP and 2 MP cameras, while the rear sports a 13 MP and 2 MP combo. Because of their low megapixel counts, the 2 MP sensors are only used for depth information.

Below the two rear cameras is a circular fingerprint sensor, with Huawei branding on the front and back, for some reason.

Inside the Y9 (2018) are Huawei’s in-house Kirin 659 processor, 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of expandable storage. The phone also features a huge 4,000 mAh battery that should allow for at least a full day of use, if not more.

A nice bonus is EMUI 8.0 on top of Android 8.0 Oreo being available out of the box. Along with autofill and picture-in-picture (PiP), Oreo introduces persistent notifications, adaptive icons, app-specific launcher shortcuts, and more.

Finally, the Y9 (2018) comes in black, blue, and gold. Pricing and availability information are still scarce, though rumors allege a price point hovering around $250. Also, the phone was introduced in Thailand few days ago and will presumably launch in Nepal in the next few months.
