The Huawei P Smart Z is Huawei’s first smartphone with a pop-up selfie camera. It was seen on the official Huawei Spain and Huawei Italy websites last week but is yet to go on sale. However, it isn’t the only pop-up selfie camera phone from the Chinese phone maker. There is the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 and it is almost the same phone as the P Smart Z but with an extra rear camera.
The Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 has been listed on Huawei’s official website, baring all its specs.
We said it shares nearly the same specs and even design as the Huawei P Smart Z. So you get a 6.59-inch Ultra FullView Display with a 2340 x 1080 resolution in front and a two-toned finish on the back. There is a Kirin 710F processor under the hood and it is paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Unlike the P Smart Z, it also has a 128GB version and both variants have a MicroSD card slot for up to 512GB of additional storage
The pop-up selfie camera is a 16MP sensor, while the rear cameras, which are 16MP + 2MP dual camera sensors on the P Smart Z, add an 8MP ultra wide-angle lens to make a triple camera setup. There are lots of camera features including 3D Portrait retouching (for front and rear cameras) and AI scene recognition.
The Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 has a 4000mAh battery which charges via a USB Type-C port. There is a fingerprint scanner on the back but there is no NFC which the P Smart Z has. The phone runs EMUI 9.0 based on Android Pie and comes in Midnight Black, Emerald Green, and Sapphire Blue.

Huawei is yet to announce availability and pricing for the Huawei Y9 Prime (2019). Nevertheless, we are eager to know if you are willing to add a little more to the €279 price tag of the P Smart Z for an extra camera?
