Huawei keeps expanding its portfolio of smartphones
in all price categories, with the latest JKM-AL00 device, expected to be named
Huawei Y9 (2019), arriving on TENAA two weeks ago. Now the specs were also
outed and looking at them, Huawei is aiming even more at the midrange market
with another Kirin 710 smartphone.
The Huawei Y9 (2019) is listed with an octa-core CPU
going as high as 2.2 GHz. RAM will be either 4 GB or 6 GB, and storage will
also be available in two options - 64 GB and 128 GB, with a microSD slot on
board to provide more room for photos and music. There is a 6.5” screen with a
notch and Full HD+ resolution.
The main camera on the back, positioned vertically
in the upper left corner, will have a 20 MP primary snapper and a 2 MP shooter
for background blur and Portrait Mode effects. The selfie camera is 16 MP.
Unsurprisingly, the device will have Android Oreo 8.1, likely with EMUI 8.1 on
top.
We know this isn’t a rebranded Honor 8X because of
the different dimensions - here the Huawei Y9 (2019) is 162.4 x 77.1 mm x 8 mm
in size and weighs 173 grams. The battery is listed as 3,900 mAh, and even if
TENAA is not a reliable source for the capacity of the power cell, the number
sure looks intriguing.
