Huawei has announced a new mid-ranger dubbed Huawei
Y9s, which is actually a rebranded Honor 9X Pro powered by the Kirin 710F SoC
instead of Kirin 810. The Huawei Y9s is built around a 6.59" notch-less display which
promises a screen-to-body ratio of 91%. It has a 1080p resolution and a pixel

Under the hood, the Y9s has a Kirin 710F SoC coupled
with 6GB RAM. The smartphone runs Android Pie-based EMUI 9.1 out of the box and
comes with 128GB of storage, which is expandable up to 512GB via microSD card.
For photography, the Y9s has a 16MP selfie camera
mounted on a pop-up mechanism, and a triple camera setup on the back comprising
of a 48MP main, 8MP ultrawide and 2MP depth sensor modules. The Y9s features a side-mounted
fingerprint reader which is embedded in the power button located on the right
side below the volume rocker. The smartphone comes in Midnight Black and
Breathing Crystal colors and packs a 4,000 mAh battery which draws power
through a USB-C port.
The Huawei Y9s is priced at US$ 239 (€ 215) in Iraq and
those who pre-order it will get gifts worth US$ 99. However, its sale date and
availability in other regions is currently unknown.
