    Huawei Y7 2019: Review, Price, Specs, Features and Best Deals

    China’s smartphone giant is trying to capture each specific payscale in regards to Ghana’s smartphone market. Their flagship the Mate 20 Pro received a great deal of praise Internationally and domestically.

    The Y7 Prime 2019 is another attempt to stay in touch with the mid-tier smartphone market. Whether the phone has the capability to do that, we shall see but first, let’s take a look at the device.

    With a 4,000 mAh battery, 6.26 inch LCD display, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chip, 3 GB RAM, 13MP dual camera and a 16MP selfie camera.

    Huawei Y7 2019 Specs Highlight

    • Display: 6.26-inch
    • Resolution: 720×1520 pixels
    • Chipset: Qualcomm SDM450 Snapdragon 450 (14 nm)
    • RAM: 3GB
    • OS: Android 8.1(Oreo) with EMUI 8.2
    • Storage: 32GB
    • Front Camera: 16 MP; HDR,
    • Rear Camera: 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel
    • Battery Capacity: 4000mAh
    • Price Range: $150

    Design

    With rounded edges on the backside of the device, the 6.26-inch display seems surprisingly bigger than it actually is. The width of the device wider than most screen examples out there.

    The display could have been even larger if the full-screen model was applied but with the way the width is extended, it doesn’t seem like a miss. The screen is also always slightly bigger than that of the Y7 Prime 2018. (5.99-inch)

    The LCD display, of course, doesn’t have the resolution of an OLED display but that’s not something we expected.

    A downside of the design includes the lack of a USB-C port. Fast charging is slowly becoming a necessity for most smartphone users. Other competitors for devices of this price range have not yet taken the USB-C step so far so the company doesn’t lose much in this regard but users would ideally want the fast charging option.

    The Aurora blue colour is a delight to see. The shine and gloss on the backside of the smartphone make it an aesthetically attractive smartphone. It may be a little susceptible to a few smudges given the shine but that’s just something that cant be avoided. Huawei has always experimented with visually attractive colours that are different from the more commonly applied colours.

    Performance

    With 3GB of RAM and the Snapdragon 450 chipset, the device boasts a good performance level. We would have liked to have a 4GB RAM in the device but 3GB seems to be the norm given the price range.

    The EMUI 8.2 skin certainly supplements the Android Oreo software pretty well.

    One interesting feature includes the Face recognition software installed. Usually, you wouldn’t expect Face ID for a device of this price range, however, Huawei has managed to get some of more high-end features into mid-tier devices. Performance as a whole remains decent although we expected a few more changes to the usual norm set recently.

    Camera

    With a 16MP + 2MP AI camera with f/1.8 aperture, the device boasts a decent photo output. With an AI impact, the picture quality improves based on the subject. Of course, the camera isn’t as good as some of Huawei’s high-end models but for its tier, the quality is decent.

    There is a certain emphasis on low-light and HDR performance in line with the general direction Huawei has taken towards its Camera quality. The camera keeps that trend intact with the pictures that were taken in low light standing out.

    Pricing and Availability of the Huawei Y7 2019

    The Huawei Y7 2019 is available to pre-order in Ghana at GHS 829 from now till the 28th of February 2019.

    Conclusion

    The device checks most of the right boxes for its price. the problem for us is the change in perception.

    A year ago, we would be satisfied with this device but for anyone who has used the Mate 20 Pro or the P20 Pro will struggle to understand Huawei’s mid-range devices and will always find faults just because they’ve been exposed to something better. It simply means Huawei can’t be classified as a mid-tier expert anymore with the company seriously improving their high-end game.

    All in all, for the Y7 Prime 2019, the price definitely helps the company stay in touch with the mid-tier smartphone market.

    Features of the Infinix Hot 7

    Design and Display

    The Infinix Hot 7 maintains the trendy slim bezel design like the Hot 6 series. The design is compact so it feels firm in the hands when held. This phone is, however, one for people on a budget hence the plastic design of the outer.

    The screen has the 18:9 aspect ratio with the very visible notch at the top. The screen to body ratio is thin, hence providing a large area of the screen to feed the eyes.

    At the back of the phone, the camera setup with the dual flashlight is quite visible. The rear camera and flashlight are arranged at the top left section of the phone with the fingerprint sensor placed a few millimetres away to the right of the dual flashlight.

    Battery

    One of the areas, the Infinix Hot 7 impresses is the battery capacity which is not really an over the top capacity but is enough for extensive usage on the device. The 4,000 mAh battery fitted in the Hot 7is efficient and comes with quick charging to get the phone powered up in no time.

    Camera

    Rather than go the way of the Hot 6 to bring dual cameras to the Hot 7, Infinix put up a single 13 MP Camera with an autofocus Dual flash light at the rear of the phone.

    The front of the Hot 7 sports an 8 megapixel FF Camera with flash light. Enough to brighten up most of the selfies you will be taking on a budget phone.

    Performance

    Welcome back, MediaTek Processors. The Hot 7 comes with the MediaTek MT6580P chipset. The CPU is a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 type with a maximum CPU Frequency of 1.3GHz.

    The phone should be able to handle most multitasking duties as well as deliver properly on playing games.
