Huawei launched three midrangers, part of the
new Enjoy 8 series. The phones might look like new, but we already saw two of
them arrive with different monikers.
The biggest one - Enjoy 8 Plus, was recently
launched as Huawei Y9 (2018) in Thailand. The regular Enjoy 8 is called Y7
Prime (2018) elsewhere, with the most affordable one - Huawei Enjoy 8e being
the only new face.
All three phones arrive with dual camera setups and
18:9 displays. We already covered the Enjoy 8 Plus arrival and the Enjoy 8
appearance - you can follow the links above to know all about them. So here’s
what the new, most affordable member of the lineup brings us.
The Enjoy 8e has a 5.7” LCD screen with HD
resolution. The chipset is Snapdragon 430 by Qualcomm with octa-core CPU,
clocked at up to 1.4 GHz. It is offered in only one memory variation - 3 GB RAM
+ 32 GB storage (microSD slot is available though). The dual camera on the back
has a 13 MP primary sensor and a 2 MP secondary one for depth information.
Selfies are taken with the front 5 MP camera, positioned right next to the
earpiece.
There is a fingerprint scanner on the back, while
all the hardware buttons are positioned on the right side. Connectivity
includes Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. Battery onboard is 3,000 mAh,
charged through the micro USB.The phone comes with EMUI 8.0, based on Android
Oreo, but lacks Google services, since it is a China-exclusive phone.
With such basic specs, the price is anything but
pretentious - CNY 1,099 or about US$ 175 for the Enjoy 8e. In comparison, the Enjoy
8 has a price tag of at least CNY 1,299 (US$ 207), while the Enjoy 8 Plus with the
4,000 mAh battery costs no less than CNY 1,699 (US$ 270). All three phones are
offered in either Blue, Gold, Pink, or Black color.
