Huawei Y9 (2018) goes official: 2 cameras front and back, 4,000mAh battery and Oreo

10 March 2018
A 5.93-inch 18:9 display sits on the front and the in-house Kirin 659 ticks inside.

Sort by:

Like Samsung`s EXYNOS, Huawei`s KIRIN midrange chipsets are not as good as Snapdragon series. Hope they will change their mind next year...



(I just don`t like their Kirin 659, SERIOUSLY.)

When you own a line of socs you don't want to put competitors chips into your phones because: 1. Is more expensive to you, 2. makes you depend of a third party for supply, 3. Invites to compare and contrast against your own product, 4. Make others think you lack faith on your own cpus

                    Looking awesome if the price will be right.
                    But if they ask 300+ eur for this mid ranger customers turn to xiaomi.

                          This phone is looking great & the cameras of both front & back are also good. But Huawei should use a new SoC insted of this old kirin 659 to make the device perfect.

                                1: Half a dozen of the same thing with a new name each time is abused
                                2:Because they are considered diffrent devices, they have their own FW, diffrent in house testing and long testing from carriers. So it makes slower updates, even if they change a thing or two (FP, camera)
                                3: "Hey what can your phone do?
                                It can change identity in a flash"
