Last week, Huawei launched three new phones in Sri
Lanka. They are the Huawei Y9 (2019), Huawei Y7 Pro (2019), and Huawei Y6 Pro
(2019). The Y6
Pro (2019) is a spanking new device and an interesting one at that.
The
phone has a 6.09-inch 1520 x 720 Dewdrop FullView display. The dewdrop or
waterdrop notch may not excite you but you will be happy to know that Huawei
has given the phone a textured leather finish on the back to make it stand out
from other phones.
We are not sure if it is genuine leather like that
of the P20 Pro but it is nice to see a mid-range phone that doesn’t have
polycarbonate or metal back. The Y6 Pro 2019 will be available in Amber Brown
and Midnight Black.
The phone comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage
but there is no mention of its processor. The Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 has a single
13MP sensor on its back while an 8MP sensor is housed inside the notch. There
is no fingerprint scanner but there is Face Unlock which also works in
low-light.
Unlike the Y7 Pro 2019 which runs EMUI 8.2 based on
Android 8.1 Oreo, the Y6 Pro 2019 runs EMUI 9.0 based on Android 9 Pie out of
the box. Under its leather rear is a 3,000mAh battery. The phone will be sold by the
online store, Singer. However, it wasn’t yet listed as at the time of writing.
There is also no info on the phone’s price.
Zyad did say that the phone will launch in Egypt too
though it may ditch the “Pro” for “Prime” since the Y7 Pro 2019 is sold as the
Y7 Prime 2019 there.
