Just yesterday, we reported that Huawei’s Y9 series will be getting a new member called the Huawei Y9s. Today, the phone’s full listing has appeared on Huawei’s official website.
The Huawei Y9s has the same 6.59-inch FHD+ Ultra FullView Display as the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 that launched in the first half of this year. It also retains the pop-up selfie camera design. However, there have been some changes in the design.
The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner buried under the power button and its triple rear cameras share the same housing. It also ditches the two-tone design for a single finish Midnight Black and a color-changing Breathing Crystal.
Huawei has swapped the 16MP sensor of the Prime model for a 48MP f/1.8 sensor. You still get an 8MP f/2.4 ultrawide angle camera with a 120° field of view and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. The selfie camera also remains a 16MP sensor but with an f/2.2 aperture now.
The Huawei Y9s is powered by the same Kirin 710F processor and it gets 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage which can be expanded via a MicroSD card slot (512GB max.). The phone packs a 4000mAh battery with support for 10W charging via a USB Type-C port.
Huawei will ship the phone with EMUI 9.1 out of the box based on Android 9 Pie. The Huawei Y9s should launch soon and should have a price tag higher than the Y9 Prime 2019 as a result of the upgraded camera and larger RAM.
