Huawei is going strong in the quest for becoming the
second biggest smartphone maker in the world. Just days after the launch of
Huawei P Smart (2019) in Europe, its more affordable sibling called Huawei Y7
Pro (2019) made an appearance in Vietnam.
The Y7 Pro (2019) is visually very similar to the P
Smart (2019), but with very different internals. The chipset is Qualcomm
Snapdragon 450, while the screen is 6.26” LCD panel with HD+ resolution,
waterdrop notch and a 19:9 ratio. The phone has only 3 GB RAM and 32 GB
storage, but microSD slot is on board.
The dual camera on the back has a 13 MP shooter with
f/1.8 aperture and a 2 MP depth sensor. The selfie shooter, tucked in the notch
does 16 MP stills. The phone boots EMUI 8.2, based on Android Oreo. Connectivity is limited to
Bluetooth 4.2 and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi standards, but there's a massive 4,000 mAh
battery on the inside. Since there is no fingerprint scanner, Huawei has
implemented some basic facial unlock as an alternative to the old-school
patterns, PINs and passwords.
Huawei Y7 Pro (2019) can be found on the Vietnamese
page of Huawei, as well as the online retailer Lazada. The price is
VND 3,990,000, or about US$ 170/€ 150. The device will be available in Blue or Black
on January 5 and early birds can get a Bluetooth speaker as a gift.
