Huawei Y9 (2019) - User Reviews

  • Is there any notification led on this phone?

  • Exactly....my first Huawei phone, very impressed by the quality of screen, cameras, speaker, battery, speed...wonderful phone for very cheap price.

  • Its's a very nice phone, so much nice picture in camera and no hang and have a good battery performance, everything is good.

  • can't react heart in messenger

  • Yes!

  • Have you updated to Android 9 pie?

  • report a complaint to your mobile operator, they can locate your phone by IMEI but they may also ask you for a police order, so you also have to report there and then wait 3 days in case they return it to you and then give you a search warrant , worth to try.

  • I've not noticed it at all

  • my y9 got stolen last night is the any one who can help me recover my phone plaese

  • Yeah Me too I realized this phone doesn't support FM RECORDINGS which is very very sad. So yeah, if anyone can help out, pls let us know

  • My Huawei y9 2019 don't sound recording and radio fm recording as well? Or if is as plz help me to download it because is very important for me

  • Unfortunately, my Y9 2019 (JKM-LX2 RAM4GB ROM64GB) cannot connect to a 5GHz wifi. It is better to fix the spec table. Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n(2.4GHz) is correct

  • its safe no need to worry about the ban as Y9 is not affected by the tradewars between US and CHINA. All phones released before the ban is perfectly safe and will not be affected by the ongoing issue. I have a Y9 as well and works fine with Google services and other Google things/apps.

  • Why do my phone y9 prime keeps on having ghost touch ang suddenly going to home screen

  • I didn't even know we can record on FM mode while on Android 8

  • Are you saying jokes? My friend, don't judge what you don't know

  • Guys Has anyone realized this Whenever I try to use DUAL SCREEN MODE, my recent apps become dark that I don't see any of them to choose. And after leaving it too, it then affects the entire recent apps that whenever I want to remove or open certain apps from background, it's all blank/black. I see nothing even though the apps are still in memory. Too bad

  • Update after bettery is training

  • Thanks! for the shairing huawei phones Y9 but i like huawei mate 10 lite because it can't be hang so i like this and work properly.

  • After I updated to Android version 9, I can no longer record on my FM RADIO. Is anybody else facing this issue?

  • Mine is even better than before. Right after I updated to Android 9 pie it drained just a slight faster than normal for about 2 days, then everything came back to normal. I even have the best of standby times these days on the version 9 Pie than the version 8 Oreo. So for me, everything is still in 100% condition even after 9months of usage. At about 60% brightness I can get a full day use with SCREEN ON TIME above 6hours including internet connection.

  • it does tho

  • me

  • Google services doesn't work on this phone

  • One of the best mid_range phones Great camera battery screen performance and will get Android 10 Everything you need in lowest price

  • This phone able to update to android 10.0?

  • restart the phone

  • Yes

  • After the upgrade emui 9.1.... The battery does not last even after the last update..... The drains fast. Who is facing the same problem?

  • Thanks

  • I am in Ghana and as of now only upcoming phones won't support the GoogleServices so feel free to buy. Even now I'll advise you to get the y9 PRIME 2019 since they're very very similar.

  • I am from Nigeria and a fan of Huawei phones. I want to buy Y9 but I am worried about the Google Ban cos of the Apps. So I want to know if it is safe for me to buy Huawei Y9 and If I can access Google play store despite the ban cos it's very important to me.

  • Next year 2020 from June to july

  • When?

  • Hi,I have a Y9 Prime 2019,trying to add 2 sim cards,but device does not show Sim when I go on settings >Wireless and networks.It only show that 1 sim is on but not showing. please help

  • How about The camera is it realistic compare to that of an IPhone???

  • I got the JKM-AL00a model Sapphire Blue from Flipkart which supports 5 GHz/802.11ac confirmed however the notification light on this phone is really tiny and under the speaker, it is not visible from a distance so it is as good as not having the LED at all. I tend to miss notifications about missed calls, SMS, WhatsApp because of the tiny LED unless I pick up the phone and hold it up close in which case the blinking LED is visible.

  • My finger print is not working when i update the latest version in y9 2019 any soloutin????

  • Hi guys! Please need to know: How much internal RAM space does the android pie update occupy on the device? Up to 3GB or more?

  • Ghana 🇬🇭 What of you?

  • Which country did u register Ur phone to? Because my phone is JKM-LX1 and I have not gotten the emui 9 update.

  • Impressive smartphone and budget friendly mid rangephone and its now andriod 9 pie

  • Had it for several months, now on android 9.1 Not a single problem, cameras excellent, there is even a screen recorder ! For 180 euros, can't get a better phone. A bit heavy though, but big battery...

  • plz tell me .. is the problem with USA effects this version ??.. because Iam still not unboxing it yet.

  • its not from the phone sometimes lightdl severs are slow, u can try tinymovies their server are quite fast

  • Is Gcam apk supported on this y9 2019? Have DOWNLOADED and INSTALLED directly but doesn't open. Or there's other stuffs I need to do first?

  • Is Wi-Fi+ not supposed to switch on my y9 wifi automatically, connect to available wifi networks (already connected one of course) and switch between cellular and wifi internet? My y9 is not doing these when I activate my Wi-Fi+. Is anyone experiencing this?

  • But for an unknown reason, my version which is JKM-LX1 has shown very poor download speeds whenever I visit LIGHT DOWNLOADS to get a movie or series, but at first too I really loved the speed. Even on 4G it takes forever to get to 1MB, but for every other site, everything speed works normal. Can anybody help me please. It's only the LIGHT DOWNLOADS site that has this issue. I need your help guyz

  • Just updated mine to Android 9 Pie and so far so good. Everything is still solid without a thing to complain of. I'm really happy finally. My version is the JKM-LX1

  • How to recording telephone conversations? Where to find the file of telephone conversations record?

  • Got my Huawei Y9 Sept 2 and I am over the moon with it! Awesome features, camera is crystal clear, thanks to its AI. Even the smallest detail is captured and enhanced. Huawei brings phone experience to the next level. Fast charging and internet is very reliable.

  • i have an update of 9.1 again this time 3GB but am sure the 10 will come

  • Are you sure

  • Can I get the source please!!

  • Yes it will get

  • Will y9 2019 be gettin the emui 10 update

  • A50 screen is among most fragile in midrange phones. Cheap gorilla glass is worse than no gorilla glass. Basics 101

  • And P30 Lite!

  • Forgot mention Nokia 7 Plus in price of A30!

  • Hm... Inaccurate colours rock? Take a selfie and view it on IPS LCD & Super AMOLED. You'll find IPS to show real colour of your shirt and everything while Super AMOLED makes it look different colours (darker or brighter). Couple that up with screen burn in issue, more expensive replacement and tendency to get easily damaged and IPS LCD already seems like a better choice. I've both Super AMOLED and IPS LCD phones :) And hell no. Only a fool would recommend any Samsung A, M or J series phone. Only Samsung phone worth buying are S series - starting from Samsung Galaxy S8. A50 is especially pathetic. This phone has much better camera and quality than A50. I can't think of any midrange phone with worst camera than A50 - I've owned A50! Only single thing about that phone is its gaming performance. Not. A. Single. Thing. Other. Than. That. A50 reviews have more complaints than Redmi Note 7. A30 and others are over priced garbage. They're beaten by phones half their price, be it camera, performance or quality. A30 costs same as Realme 3 Pro where I live, when even Realme 3 beats it in all categories. You can also get Nokia 8.1, Realme 3 Pro and Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 in price of A30. Like I said, only a clown would buy A30 or A50 over them. A70 has same performance as Realme 3 Pro and Nokia 8.1. But both of them beat A70 camera and battery timing. Their built quality is also much stronger than A70 which is as breakable as an egg. What is A70 price again?

  • i can get 2x Y9 compared to a40

  • Best phone for the price. No problem at all, perfect. Specifications of a flagship from just three years ago, for only 180 euros...amazing Huawei. Love it

  • There's this place called the "service center".

  • Those Samsung models are more expensive. Burn-in, ew. PWM, it's seizure time!!!

  • IPS LCD display is waste. AMOLED rocks. The crap Y9 model does not even have gorilla glass. Samsung A30, A50 and A70 are far more better.

  • It has a dedicated card slot. Amoled burn-in and PWM sucks.

  • Mine is super cool, I love mine and I can't just stop loving it.

  • I've had this phone for 6 months, and no problem, everything is great from cameras to battery. Best phone for the money. No S10 of course...but only 180 euros !

  • > No dedicated memory card slot > No sAMOLED display Y9 is a waste model

  • Try downloading Open Camera app. I'm not sure if it'll help but it gives you many camera features that your chipset supports but manufacturers didn't add support for.

  • Drop the Phone then smash it with hammer

  • So unlucky of me to accidentally dropped my phone in the pale of water.. and it gradually affecting it. The lcd has splash mark already. Teary eyed coz it still unpaid.. huhuhu

  • yes it have gpu turbo 3 named app assistant I'v

  • I bought huawei y9 2019 few days ago but it does'nt have slowmo feauture...can anyone tell me about this???

  • I have been using the Huawei Y9 2019 (Model JKM-LX1) for the past 4 months and its a great phone. I've so far not experienced any lags. But today I woke up used the phone for 5 mins then the phone went balckout on me. I've tried charging its not charging, I've tried long pressing the start button but the phone is not responding. Can anyone advise me what to do?

  • I just bought this last week and the battery is so superb.. I have played nba 2k19 and its playable.. Though there is some frame drops.. But its really good. Baterry also can last wholeday. The only issue here is the 10watts charging.. Im not sure if its support quick charging or even supert fast charging. Overall this phone is great. I played a game for hours it didnt fell so hot

  • Where is the comformation

  • It's seems you don't know to use the phone. There is a call log and I don't have problems like you mention. You probably have a defect phone.

  • It's confirm that this model will get Emui 10 update.

  • this phone is shit , dont ever think to buy it, bad touch , no call log even after last update , alarm suck so bad u cant use it , even my last lenovo A7000 was better ,and no control option for touch or display , low volume speaker

  • Is it now safe to upgrade to android pie? Does it till have issues in emui 9.1?

  • I can't find the gpu turbo too

  • i got emui 9.1 today in tunisia

  • On the other phone like nova 3i the gpu turbo is listed on the changelog but on the huawei it is not. Try to check.

  • Hi... Did you say the GPU turbo 3.0 isn't on the update for Y9 2019? Are you sure? I ask becos I'm about to update mine & want to be clear on the matter.... Thanks

  • Pie update come from this moblie

  • its certainly true

Just concerned with the over 10gb internal memory consumed by its Firmware and stuff as well as the over 1.5gb RAM it runs on, leaving u with just about 2.5gb RAM to joggle with. Functionality and user interface 90%. Great phone again. Ull never regret it's purchase. Cheers.

  • is there any way to root huawei y9?

  • Please I want to know if your phone is huawei y9 2019 is it true that u have received the 9.1 update

  • When is huawei y9 2019 is going to be updated to Android Q I think huawei y9 prime will get the Android Q because it Android version is 9.1

  • After a week working good after the reset, My phone starts to freeze a little while multiple banner notifications. I deactivated these type of notification for whatsapp since when multiples messages come, the phone takes a long time to react.

  • i use Y9 2019 in 2 weeks ...i get update andro9 pie..still smooth working and battery also 2 days in regular use...its a good mob for midrangers...I suggested this mob

  • Yes

  • Does it support usb-OTG ?

  • Thank you for your candid assessment. I'm impressed because that's my experience too. The phone is very much enjoyable.

  • I've been using this awesome phone since February 2019 (July now and it's been 6 months now). I love how smooth this phone operates, never experienced any hang or black out until now. I don't know about other people, but I just love this phone.

  • The update of EMUI 9 for the LX3 version is worst one! The auto switch from WiFi to mobile data and mobile data to WiFi doesn't works, the battery drains more faster and doing multitasking it's horrible, constantly some of the apps get froze or the last app opened don't stop working and the next app you select feels very slow. The phone feels slower than before, so bad for having such the worst update for this grateful phone, the previous version was very nice!

  • I have a Huawei Y9 2019 JKM-LX3 and I received the Android Pie update a couple weeks ago. You should be getting it sooner or later.

  • I had similar problems like you until yesterday. I did a soft factory reset on the phone and now is working better. I suggest you to do the same.

  • I just wanted to know if it is possible to upgrade the huawei y9 2019 to android 9 pie.

  • Thanks for the help! I did the soft reset and now the phone is performing better. No more freezing after multiple notifications showing.

  • Is the gpu 3.0 really included in the 9.1 update? Coz it is not stated in the upgrade info. Just wanna ask.

  • try to factory reset after an upgrade

  • I updated my JKM-LX3 (Panama, Central America) to latest EMUI (9.0.1.162). The is having trouble when multiple notifications comes. I slide from the top of the screen and it takes an eternity to show everything. Sometimes the buttons or the slide bar disappears completely, until I reset the phone and then goes normal.

  • yeaah

  • Exactly. Most of the important updates are missing.

  • The update ONLY shows up if you use Hi-Care, and yes, the update notes that we got here in the Philippines did not state that GPU Turbo 3 was included. Only the EROFS system, July security patch and some minor updates are mentioned.

  • Why

  • How is the battery life. And heating experience. The camera quality

  • Its just disappointing that turbo 3.0 and huawei blog are missing.

  • Same here. Already got the update.

  • JKM-LX2. Philippines

  • I have my Y9 Prime and the Battery wise but so sad with the quality of the camera. Good for selfie people. But in terms of good resolution, so bad. I don't know if this is because of the phone or just my internet connection, but with my old phone I didn't meet anything such as super duper slow internet. I think this phone having a hard time picking up data together. LOL I don't know that's basing from my old phone. I only switch to this phone because I rooting for its memory capacity.

  • After I installed the new update 9.0.1....my phone has become very slow and laggy. The background apps aren't closing at all even after i kill them. What to do? Please help.

  • Thanks for the info, i was about to update to emui 9 but i guess better not because is not really big improvements on the new update.

  • Video at 60 fps got better but portrait mode worsened.

  • Undoubtedly, you're right about the earpiece. The earpiece sound quality is very poor. I've dumped mine somewhere and switched to a different one instead. The phone's sound quality deserves some compliments, by my personal opinion.

  • I have purchased new hawaei y9 but its sound system is very low and my earphone is very low capacity and it has very big phones which not insert in ear properly

  • Wrong. Ram not used is wasted...so the less free ram you have the better, android is very good at ram management

  • No app assistant!/game suite in huawei y9 2019?

  • Ok. Keep update ur phone to emui9

  • Is it okay for my huawei y9 2019 to upgrade to emui 9 even if my android version is oreo?

  • I'm here after Trump's withdrawal of the ban. Yipeeee!!!!

  • Correct

  • The earpiece serves as an antenna. If it's not positioned well sometimes the reception gets interrupted with the "shhh..." sound. Thus, it's not the fault of the phone but the frequency reception.

  • Have no idea what you talking about. All I know is once I insert my headphone 🎧 jack, the stations automatically scan, and like magic, the stations start to work. That's how it's done. I don't know what frequency you want me to check please

  • Just got the update. Me from the philippines

  • Huawei best brand no doubt

  • for now it is confirmed that we will get emui 9.1 and nothing was mentioned about android Q

  • Check your frequency reception, bro. Don't blame it on this sleek phone. 😎

  • I love this phone very much. Awesome battery life. Will it get Android Q?

  • Has anyone noticed the shhhh sound that's in the FM RADIO? Even my Infinix hot 3 and note 2 under 100 US dollars have better and clearer audio or sound feedback. Has anyone realized that?

  • Thank you for the enlightenment. 😎

  • Recived my 9.0 update via OTA jkm-lx1, battery life is decreased from 10hours+ screen on time to 7hours screen time, there are few bugs using Gboard typing urdu ,toggles whatsapp with other apps.dont like this update much, 8.2 was working far better

  • Completely agree with you. In gaming, since the updatenits too much laggy and sloww. Recommend going back to Oreo

  • Finally got the update on my phone today, phone feels smoother though but will use it for a day to finally confirm. Lagos Nigeria

  • thanks for y9 2019 I like the feature

  • Actually, there's nothing much to boast of except that it feels great to be part of those with the upgraded version. Y9 2019 is, by itself, an awesome phone in entirety even without the EMUI 9. Just enjoy it and don't fuss about the delayed update. Looking forward to the EMUI 9.1 though 😎

  • I got pie update on 24 June.. it's awesome.. jkm-lx1... PAKISTAN

  • Thanks for the feedback.. But I haven't seen the review on y9 2019... I just want to be shore before the update... Effort appreciated thanks

  • Hi i'm from iran i received the update 3 days ago. I have no problem with the update the battery usage is like before and this is not laggy. Just about camera i feel the pics are better now plus 60fps videos

  • Change the three animations from the developer option to 0.5

  • factory reset

  • Ohk. I contacted Huawei Ghana on twitter and they told me I need to be on Wi-Fi. Immediately I knew they were telling me lies. Thanks for your clarification.

  • I unstalled android 9 on huawei y9 but its slow and lagging. What to do ?

  • I used sim data not wifi

  • Check out these reviews...

  • Did you update it strictly by Wi-fi or you used your SIM data?

  • I was just checking for system update in my phone like always, unfortunately surprisingly i see the update to android 9.0. I have been checking it for the past one month now.

  • So is it safe to upgrade to Android 9.0??? I saw some negative stuff about it like usage of ram being too much?

  • How did you go about it? Please!

  • finally got emui 9 update on lx1 in Tunisia

  • Guys please let me know when everything is fixed

  • I just updated my phone tonight around 4pm from Nigeria, model number JKM-LX1

  • I have been online looking for reviews about this huawei Y9 8.1Oreo. Would you advice me to buy it or it has problems??

  • Hi bra Kofi pls what's your general accessment about the update? I just being afraid to update.. Kindly reply

  • No, what I meant here is request admin to update the information on platform for Y9 (2019). The android pie and EMUI 9 update is already available, so please add the info there.

  • Honestly, the upgrade is not all that, It has some really annoying issues so far 1. The update consumes much more RAM than before, back in oreo I usually had about 2.3gb or more free after a few heavy apps have been open, but in this update I get about 1.7gb or less even when only one non-heavy app is open 2. The split-screen is very buggy, in fact it is almost impossible to use, once you put an app in split-screen mode you cannot see the other apps you want to open and the recent apps list becomes invisible 3. The battery has seen a little bit of improvement, but not too significant 4. In gaming, I have not experienced any set back so far But overall I would rather roll back to oreo because it is more stable, until this emui 9 is fixed

  • Yes you right....that's some wise words brother...

  • You know what, the cost of too much expectation is disappointment. Just relax. Besides, you happily bought it when it was Android 8 EMUI 8, right?

  • i want to be honest with you ....im disappointed as well its been too long

  • are you sure will get it after two months we cant wait

  • Bros, I'm also in Ghana but haven't seen any update yet oo. What's up?

  • i have received mine about some days ago. enjoying it. from Nigeria

  • I have not received mine I am using the same model number from Nigeria

  • where are your brain bro ????? even through HUAWEI in the second spot , but they didnt earn more money than Apple and Samsung ,HUAWEI just sell low range smartphone to us

  • so do you want an outdated phone ?

  • How to screen cast Huawei Y9

  • how to update to android pie

  • Got EMUI 9 today (JKM-LX1) in Morocco.

  • My friend already got his Android pie 9.0..Urghhh..I can't wait.. please hurry up

  • Excellent

  • I brought this mobile recently.Its voice sound very clear & Music sound is good. Picture quality is very sharp.

  • That is while I prefer Samsung phones, I will blame Huawei because they think that they are close to Samsung but they are far behind. It will take them ten years to come close to Samsung products

  • have gotten my pie update

  • Your comment is obviously a hate comment. The phone performs great in almost every aspect while maintain an affordable price tag. Huawei clearly stated that the Y9 2019 is eligible to get android pie but does not confirm it officially. So you hating on Huawei just because they did not release Android pie for your phone is absurb. If Android pie is all you want then get a phone that already comes with Android pie in stock. GSM and Huawei both has already clearly listed that it runs on Android 8. If anything at fault, it's clearly you who didn't check properly on the phone specs. Don't blame Huawei.

  • Bought it 2 weeks ago. Phone performed great! Definitely won't regret buying. Pros 1. Smooth system and UI 2. Loud speakers 3. Dual camera front and back. AI camera is a +1 4. Can play most heavy games on mid setting 5. Very good battery life 6. Fast fingerprint scan Cons 1. Phone is too big for my hand to hold it properly 2. The dual camera on the top of the screen is ugly imo 3. Camera doesn't not let you choose storage location 4. Phone back cover is made of plastic. Although it got a beautiful finish making it look like glass, i prefer it to be aluminium.

  • In Colombia that phone is magic!

  • When Huawei y9 Malaysia Version Android Pie upgrade?

  • Better than infinix indeed, what is the difference they delay in upgrading their phones so like wise with Huawei phones. I regret selling that my infinix note 4 pro because I buy that phone 70k and I sell it for nothing just to buy Huawei y9 2019 77k and this is what I am getting in return

  • Huawei became No. 1 since Mate 20 Pro being released... iPhone became 2nd in the markets... I don't know where is your so called Samsung... Ahahahahahahahaha

  • i have gotten mine and so will you. huawei is trying and is far better than infinix. calm dowm

  • Samsung will remain the number one in phone and electronic industry for the next Ten years to come. Huawei is too far behind them, in fact sooner Apple will take the second spot. At times I don't blame Trump for blacklist and banning them. I regret buying Huawei y9 2019 look at what they are doing with ordinary Pie upgrade, I will wait for five months just for Emui 9 and Android 9, I sell my infinix note 4 pro to buy this product, and this is. what I am getting in return, and you expect me to recommend this Huawei product to any of my friends, This will be my last Huawei phone since they only care for their flagship phones only.

  • Its quite good. The voice call is clear and the speaker was superb. Also the camera and the battery life was great. So i can recommend it.

  • hows this phone. how is quality of call and the speaker sound

  • I love my Y9 2019.. 8.1 or 9.0...It doesn't matter.. Ohh almost forgot.. they will update your status Android 9.0 this June or July. I've been working on my friend yT channel and I'll be informing you about the progress of 9.0~9.1..(Malaysia Only) and thank you. Keep in touch with HUAWEI device, you will never regret. ✌🏼☺️&­amp;#128522;✌🏼⚔&­amp;#65039;🔰🇲&#12748­6;❤️

Variants from a different region during the time got updates for the Nougat version but the variants from where my phone is, never got an update.

  • Are you a beta tester or just got the update?

  • The back part gets scratched easily..?

  • Huawei Y9.. So far so good. Camera superb. Gaming no lag. Battery also good. My huawei Y9 now is updated to android 9.0.

  • You're definitely right. It's cool and smooth

  • Who cares about android updates when you will still recieve emui updates?

  • I read some comments that it made the camera worse even if the update's purpose was to improve the camera.

  • No

  • Is the pie update on this phone still push through? Its sad when they will hold it. Hope huawei still push the update because they promise to update this phone mid may 2019.

  • Hi guys! My phone Y9 2019 automatically downloaded the emui update JKM-LX2 8.2.0.154(C636)-FULL. I'm thinking if it will make my phone better if I install it or no? Thanks for the help.

  • Guys , wait .. Huawei is not a just company and china will release new play store which Google will beg

  • Please help me decide which one to buy... huawei y9 or honor 10 lite

  • It's too bad we won't be having any more android updates and support due to google cutting ties with Huawei. They probably need to create an alternate version of android in the future. Goodbye Huawei. This is my first Huawei phone and probably the last.

  • I bet after the announcement that google has cut it's ties to Huawei, we won't be having any android updates after this.

  • Dis phone is really Kool, I luv it thanks to Huawei... Y9 is d boom

  • Try to turn off the beauty mode and see. If you are using the rear camera, try to turn off the AI function and see.

  • How can you imagine Y9 has better camera than flagship phones...Y9 is only 200 dollars.

  • My HUAWEI Y9 (2019) do not have such problem. I started to use the phone from 25 December 2018.

  • If you want an affordable and smooth phone, go to the HUAWEI Y9 (2019). If you want a phone with flagship processor and can take great photos, you can go to HUAWEI P20.

  • if you wrote that huawei y9 does not support dual band Wi-Fi, and 5 GHz, then you're right, since the honor 8x has dual band Wi-Fi and 5ghz and because of this Honor 8x has advantage that can check on device specifications.

  • I think no it doesn't

  • Yes

  • No, it’s not a dual band Wi-Fi, it doesn’t support 5 GHz.

  • I used to complain bitterly about the front camera until I removed the screen protector. Now it's far better Yet still, Huawei missed it on contrast and saturation. The pics are OK, but the colors aren't near to real life at all. So I ask, if you've used Galaxy s5, s6 series, note 4,note 5 and even the s7 edge and s8, can anyone boldly tell me if this y9 2019 is better with front camera than ANY of the above mentioned phones?

  • The micro USB on my phone fits well and not moving.

  • After many update (last update : jrm-lx1 8.2.0.160 c(185) ====== > * no led notification * no 60 fps video recording Someone is in the same situation as me? Any possible solution?

  • After many update (last update : jrm-lx1 8.2.0.160 c(185) ====== > * no led notification * no 60 fps video recording Someone is in the same situation as me? Any possible solution?

  • yes it does have triple tray for both SIM and SD card

  • It's not available yet. Should be soon though.

  • Can we put both sim card and a memory card together in this phone.

  • cant update my android version :(

  • When will the phone be updated to android pie (9.0 or 9.1) ?

  • I also face same issue

  • Is it normal that when the micro USB is in the charging port, it moves a little bit? When I move it it doesn't interrupt the charge. Does it happen to anyone else?

  • I had problems with Huawei y9 when downloading a large app ex pubg it always saying waiting for WiFi even though I have a WiFi I tried to fix the problem but it still saying waiting for WiFi is there anyone facing the same issue with the phone if there's know how to fix this pls help

  • Any news about emui 9.0??

  • Help Please! Y9 2019 vs Nova 3i vs P20.

  • Just sent your HUAWEI Y9 (2019) to the nearest HUAWEI authorised service centre for repair. The price is depend on which country you are staying now. Different country got different prices.

  • If you have free time, then bring your HUAWEI Y9 (2019) to the nearest HUAWEI authorised service centre yourself and it will faster to get repair than you bring the phone back to the store you bought.

  • My screen is broken. Where can I get an original screen 2 replace it.. N how much?? Thnx

  • A month after I purchased Y9 it won't turn on anymore. I brought it back to the store and they said they have to send it for service and will take a month or more for warranty repair.

  • Great phone. Hope they will make an improved one with a smaller notch, like oppo phones

  • I have set the volume of my HUAWEI Y9 (2019) to 80% (first of all, set to the maximum. Then press the volume down button twice) for media, the sound of the music and videos are quite loud and above average, can compete with the phone with two speakers.

  • Is it pretty bad?

  • Do you think that this phone will get android Q? Do huawei give 2 major updates to their phones?

  • does this phone have slow motion video recording capability ?

  • I hate the update of the phone, always blinking and fast battery drained

  • Yes! One Huawei Agent confirmed to me that Android 9.0 was released but maybe takes time to arrive for each country

  • Quite loud, enough for a phone

  • not good

  • Can someone tell me how loud is this phones speaker is for music?

  • yes it does

  • Y9 2019 vs. Honor 7X ???

  • Great phone, best you can buy for 200 dollars. It has a huge screen, girls love it,

  • torn between y9 2019 and nova 3i. enlighten me pls

  • is this phone update to android pie?

  • i make a blinking profile pictures..... when i use it as my profile pictures in imo apps... its not working..... what should i do.....

  • This has fantastic value at this price point, I hope it come to my country! O3O

  • Try hard reset

  • Guys please help, I have been enjoying my Y9 2019 since I bought it without issues. But immediately after I updated it, I must not receive calls if I want my music volume to be loud. Cos if I'm playing music and a call comes in, after the call my music volume reduced to barest minimum even though the volume indicator is high. Unless I turn my phone off and on it again before I can enjoy my music again. But mustn't receive call. If not back to square one. Please guys has anyone experienced this? If yes,,, how did you fix it?

  • Hey, that does happen with me as well, I've had the phone for since about late September and it used to work fine/no action center flickering on home screen, it started happening from like a month ago when I decided to install OS updates... Please let me know if you are somehow able to fix it

  • No NFC. No WiFi 802.11a/n - yes you heard it right, no 5Gbps on home wifi. No, thank you.

  • Oh wait! Try this also... Press the back button... Then once it goes black while you are still hearing the sound of the video... Try swiping the screen long up or down... It should work somehow to get back on your screen

  • Hello.. Try watching the video by only by itself without going fullscreen... But if you do watch in fullscreen, you are right that the screen goes black... But try this.. Watch the video in fullscreen.. Then press the back button once.. Then your screen will go back right? Then... Try to double tap and swipe your screen up or down.. It will go back.. It is like... You tap it first quickly, then you swipe it next up or down.. Go try it.. It is just a little solution

  • Update your app they did solve this problem

  • I'm having a problem on my huawei y9 2019..i have the latest update of Google Apps. Pressing the (...) button on bottom right (It was mark as MORE).... i noticed that only the ICONS appeared and the corresponding icon names are blank. I have tried to reset the Google Apps to its factory setting and re update the Google Apps but still the same result happens. is there any one here can give an idea about this?...thanks BTW the Google Factory settings works just fine, its the update that are causing me the problem.

  • Hi there, just need your help. I'm having problem with my messenger app. everytime I click on the video to view it in full screen after playing it doesn't go back to the original screen..it goes black then it won't allow me to go back. I have to close the whole application for me to be able to use it again. Thank you

  • Sorry Sir, but Y9 doesn't have a Slowmo Feature 🙁

  • Please, does it support slow motion ?

  • That's exactly what I've said before..

  • Excuse me but, I already tried doing what you've said. Of course, shooting with the Beauty Mode on will set your Resolution to only 1280x720p, and disabling it will allow you to shoot at 1920x1080 (60fps), 1920x1080 (30fps), 1920x920, and 1280x720 (30fps). Yes, you could still select the option of choosing the 1920x1080p (60fps), but I am telling you, it doesn't shoot exactly at 60fps. Why don't you prove it to us? Because for me, I can prove it to you and to the whole people..

  • y9 2019 hopefully good smartphone. Thank you.

  • Okay, can you please do this for me?, I want you to record 2 videos at 1080 and 1080 60fps, send the video files to your pc and check the fps in the file properties. I'm 99% sure you'll find both recorded at 30 fps give or take 1 fps. I'm uncertain if the bug has touched all the updated devices because a while back they forwarded an update meant to optimize camera performance and the devs, being the geniuses they are broke the code whilst testing something and limited the video recording to 30fps.

  • For every one who can't use the 60 fps recording, just disable the beauty mode in video it will allow you to record in 60 fps (1080p). FYI the beauty icon is in the middle at top of the screen.

  • Just disable the beauty mode in video then you can shoot in 60 fps. FYI the beauty icon is in the middle on the top.

  • Like Mark I bought it mostly for its 60fps video recording, two updates and boom, it's gone!! Followed another 2-3 updates and they are yet to fix it.. Unless the update to 9.1 will fix it, if you are videographer I highly suggest to avoid it and go for other alternatives.

  • Yes! Was confirmed like one of 49 mobile Huawei phones that will receive the update

  • What capacity of OTG Flash Drive can be supported by Huawei y9 2019? Can it really read/detect a 1TB Flash disk? (Not harddisk)

  • we can use multi screen for Tv

  • which phone would be better? Note 7 pro or huawei y9(2019)?

  • For 200 euros it is a great budget phone. Fast and with big battery, goos speaker. Good cameras, but average at night. As good as A50 which costs twice the price.

  • Which do you recommend i get. The Nova 3i, Y9 2019?

  • J just want to know... Does the Huawei y9 2019 get the Android Pie? EMUI 9.1?

  • there are no such options, and if it were, then, if the 4G network was not provided, then it would lose any contact. Here's how it works, 3G or 4G connectivity depends on your operator, so if it has 4G then it automatically connects to 4G and if it does not then go to 3G and if there is no 3G then just 2G and finally if you choose airplane mode then you do not have any external link. however, check in wireless & networks -> mobile network-> preferet network mode and select -> 4G \ 3G \ 2G auto.

  • so it's almost identical but still the design of Honor 8x is in advantage, ''aluminum alloy + back 15 canvases glass'', vs ''aluminum alloy + polycarbonate'' - also advantage of Honor 8x is display covered with ''corning gorilla glass 3'' NFC + COF (cheap on flex), EMUI 9, Android Pie, WI-FI dual band and WI-FI-5GHz so I personally prefer the Honor 8x

  • the 3.5mm port doest not after the latest update

  • Please is there a way k can set my huawei y9 2019 to 4g only? Please help

  • Which one is better Honor 8x or Y9(2019)? Please share your opinion

  • HUAWEI Y9 (2019) is better.

  • Sent your phone to the HUAWEI service center.

  • If u like to watching movie kn youtube.. U can choose a30. A30 have super amoled screen. If u like take a photo i suggest y9. Gaming also y9 better than a30

  • Check comments on GPS in A30's Page. most of people saying that they had bad experience when using it, Else everything is okay

  • Honor 8x - model JSN-L21

  • Still no update emui 9.0?

  • I want to buy new mobile but can not decide , which is better between Samsung A30 and huawei y9 2019

  • Still no update emui 9.0?

  • i use y9 2019 but the mic its not working if some body call me or i call need use aloud speaker for the second hear me..

  • I use this phone for 6 weeks. It's a wonderful phone especially in performance and battery.

  • Y9 is mid range and M20 is low range...choice is easy. Really happy with my Y9, best budget phone...but the very new Realme 3 Pro seems hard to beat, if you can found one.

  • My y9 screen colour is uneven. The bottom part looks brownish and dimmer. Who's facing similar issue?

  • Buy Y9

  • Should i go for y9 (2019) or Samsung A20 .. Help which one to buy

  • I just got myself a new y9 and I've noticed something unusual. Anytime I swap down the notification bar, my screen flickers. Secondly, the bottom part of my phone's screen is darker than the topmost part.. who's facing similar issue?

  • My phone's screen is a lil bit darker at the bottom. Also, the screen flickers when I drop down the notification bar. Who's experiencing same issues?

  • When you post any document on whatsapp it loses its TITLE or NAME, It will appear UNTITLED. Kindly sort out this. The name of the document or file is supposed to show.

  • yes it will

  • I think noo

  • Will it have an update for android 9 ?

  • I still have the option in emui 8 just turn off beauty mode

  • I got Huawei Y9 2019.. I found a problem that when I change the theme the lock screen notification will not work..when I returned it back to the original theme it will work again.. Is there a way to fix?

  • So NO pie update from Huawei between 17-19th April as promised.

  • For the guys who already got the EMUI 9.0 Update, was the 60fps recording already working or fixed?

  • Download the free VLC for Android from Playstore, it can play every possible videos.

  • Huwaei pushed update EMUI 8.2.0.159(185) to my Jkm-Lx1 model yesterday while am awaiting the hyped EMUI 9.0.

  • HUAWEI Y9 (2019) do not have double tap to wake up the screen function, but it has life to wake up the screen function. You can use it with your face recognition.

  • Relax. Don't expect flagship performance for 170 euros. It is a great phone, but still a buget phone 99 % of people will be satisfied with. The resolution of the screen has nothing to do with the resolution of played videos, which depend on processor and memory.

  • EMUI 9.0, EMUI 9.1 was confirmed for this model but the beta is still unreleased for the phone

  • The camera better than p30 pro, cpu better than mate 20 pro, screen better than s10 plus, but still a huawei y9......

  • It's updated to EMUI 9.0 or EMUI 9.1?

  • How can one activate double tap to turn on and off the screen on the Huawei Y9 2009?

  • how is the pie like on your phone

  • All fine, outperform to p30, camera can zoom deeper.

  • Great.. Is it working fine?

  • I am pissed off with this unit, Im encountering problem repeatedly. I dont know how to play the 1080 pixel or 3d video/movies in my y9 2019. It said that it supported 2340x1080 FHD+ but none of the movies are playing. Can anyone tell help me with this.

  • Yes

  • Ya, Malaysia, pie updated

  • Nope

  • i haven't

  • It is because of great phones like this one that Samsung must now give us better phones for less money. Competition is good.

  • Anyone received the pie update today?

  • Can't believe this phone doesn't support 5G wifi despite it advertise its spec able to support it. False hope!

  • Obviously for Huawei Y9 the update will be released between April 17-19

  • My huawei Y9 ask me to update and when I updated it,I was later ask to enter the erecovey

  • there is no wi-fi 5ghz on device specifications

  • can i have the link please

  • hi.. i just got the phone today and i found out that i have the same problem as you... i see here at gmsarena says the Y9 2019 supports dual band wifi but mine can't detect the 5ghz network ,... only the 2.4ghz..

  • I am just wondering if anyone got this phone and have problem of the 5Ghz's Wifi not showing ? or does it not have any hardware that support that frequency? Thank You,

  • Huawei has confirmed that EMUI 9 will be released this week 🤩

  • How is multitasking with 3gb ram?

  • It's only 150 euros.

  • Specs are from high/mid range phones like screen, processor, memory, cameras, battery, fast charge...but with low range price. Best budget phone for 200 euros. My Y9 works really well, Should have USB C though.

  • Sent your phone to the service center.

  • How good is the camera quality

  • there is a black line (horizontal) center in my screen what to do?

  • I see. You must sent the phone to the service center to solve the problem.

  • Have you reset your phone after the update? If not, try now and see whether the problem has solved or not. If yes, but the function is still missing, then I think you need to sent the phone to the service center and ask them to install the original software version (same version as the new phone) for you. My habit is if the software of the phone out of the box does not have any problem, then I will never download and install any new software versions to the phone.

  • Yes HUAWEI Y9 (2019) has OTG support.

  • Always remember buy the HUAWEI phones from the HUAWEI official authorised dealer in your country.

  • I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the app. Does it list the beta updates along with the official releases or just the official ones?

  • Why are you even here?

  • Indeed

  • It sends me to the home screen and it is so annoying, I guess I'll have to send it to the service center as resetting did not work at all.

  • Pls why is not amoled screen

  • emui 9 started to roll out for jkm lx1 as seen in firmwarefinder it wont take long

  • Do you also happen to own a Y9 and did this also happen to you?

  • For me, yes, it is such a big problem. I am a fan of Mobile Videography, and frame rates are very important to me because I could do many things with it. I bought this phone because it was introduced to me that it can shoot at 60 frames per second. Why would they launch Huawei Y9 with such many functions and options then later it would turn out that one function is not working? Would they just even let the Y9 users think cluelessly if something is wrong with the phone? It is the responsibility of the Smart Phone Companies to assist and help their buyers and users because they will also be the one that could benefit from it to become more better.

  • Is that such a big problem in your life...?

  • Our best hope is to wait for the 9.0 update and hope for the best. Huawei could eventually fix this issue or nix the functionality completely and pretend it never existed to begin with.. Update is expected to release on mid to end of July since they delayed the nova e3 update and they are testing the same functionality on the y9 2019...

  • Does Huawei Y9(2019) have wireless charging? Thanks.

  • You know its big,why buy it in the first place? You can always check specs online, why buy it if its not what you prefer?

  • Actually, there is a 1920x1080 60fps included inside the options in Huawei Y9. I don't know why gsmarena.com didn't state that clearly. Attention, Huawei Y9 do also have a 60fps recording.

  • in specifications is only 30fps there is no 60fps for this device

  • yes

  • After the EMUI 8.2.0 Update, the 1920x1080 60fps Recording does not work. Yes, I could still record, but the frame rate is not 60, it always turns to 30. The 60fps Recording is still good before the Update. Guys, if anyone who owns a Y9, could you also test it out for yourself? Check if your EMUI System is at 8.2.0, then try recording at 60fps at 1920x1080, then try checking the Frame Rate of the Video if it is at 60 or 30. I really want to resolve this problem, I already sent this issue to Huawei, still, no responds yet. I really think it has to do something about the EMUI System Update. Share your thoughts, guys.

  • Something is very strange for me that happened after the EMUI 8.2.0 Update. Straightly to my point, the 1920x1080 60fps Recording is not working. I tried everything and resetting all of the settings and the phone, but it is still like that. I record videos that are set in 60fps, but when I take a look at the information of File Video, its frame rate is constantly at 30. It is very weird for me, and I'd like to resolve this problem as soon as possible. I know I'm not the only one who encountered this that owns Huawei Y9. Please, anyone who owns Y9, please tell your thoughts if this also happened to your phone. Please, I want to bring back the 60fps Recording... =(

  • Is y9 have otg supporr

  • Is an awful phone. Camera is low quality. Is very big. I want smaller phones to carry in my bags. I really want my money back

  • I have a questions. is this phone owrking in latin america the model number: JkM-lx2 becausse I sknow normali for latin america is the model number: JKM-LX3

  • The camera quality is very bad comparing with my old Meizu M3 Note, it feels like a very low quality plastic phone!! I was very disappointed, to get a good picture you need a very sunny day light... I regret buying this phone :(

  • Which phone do you have?

  • Of course it does support OTG, this phone has all the functions anybody would want, like OTG, screen mirroring, notification light, wifi direct, and everything...top quality. Really.

  • It does,nt Support On the go (otg)

  • HUAWEI Y9 (2019) is better.

  • You said the camera closed after 12 seconds you took a picture. That means the phone camera app close itself and go back to the home screen? Or you still in the camera app with the camera on the standby mode and you need to touch the screen to activate it? If is the former one (back to the home screen), then you need to sent the phone to service center. Reset cannot settle the issue. I have tested it on my Y9 (2019). After taking the first photo, I still in the camera app and can take second photo. After more than 30 seconds without taking any photos, the camera app will go to standby mode. I just need to tap the screen to activate the camera only.

  • I am in love with this phone. Best mid range and best price thanks Huawei ❤️❤️­❤️

  • For 200 euros, great mid range phone. No problem at all, everything is top quality. Better than A30 or even A50

  • Yes... USB joypad doesn't work though. I tried connecting a joypad via OTG to play some emulator games, it didn't work

  • yes

  • Which phone should i buy Samsung A30 or Huawei Y9 prime 2019

  • i have a question. Does Huawei Y9 2019 support pendrive on phone (OTG)? Does who knows please let me know.

  • yes..

  • Can we use USB on the go? OTG cable and connect to a pendrive?

  • I only use the phone camera and that is where the issue is, I have reset the phone 3 times already and it works just fine at first and after a few days the issue starts again, at the moment the camera closes after 12 seconds after I take the first picture.

  • Patients can come at any moment

  • Still waiting for Android pie ,🤨🤨🤔

  • a30

  • A30 is the overall package of you could tolerate some frame drops here and there

  • Will it get android 9?

  • what should I buy Samsung a30 vs Huawei y9

  • i am using this pgone from 2 months.i found no single issue tiwh this phone.its performance is ok with its price.

  • Mine works great tho.. My front camera is better.. Not over saturated

  • Mine is still working

  • After updating with latest version notification led stop working..Have u any solution for me..? Or anybody facing like this problem..?

  • Too many similarly-specced Huawei/Honor phones on the market, not even sure which is best. Honor 10 lite Huawei Y9 2019 Honor 8X Huawei Nova 3i Honor 10i Huawei Nova 4e All these phones above are running on Kirin 710, has Full HD display and more or less similarly designed. How to choose the best one? Stand-out features among these: - Nova 4e has Type-C - Nova 4e and Honor 10i has triple camera with wide angle lens - Nova 4e and Honor 10i has fast charging - Huawei Y9 has 4,000 mAh battery - Honor 8x has 3,750 mAH battery (rest of them has less than 3,400 mAH) - Huawei Y9 and Honor 10 lite are made of plastic (rest are metal and glass) I wish someone can make a proper comparison on these and rank them.

  • I have one in msa goes for 13k still boxed

  • It's now app twin

  • nope..u lied..i used this phone every day with normal use and always got 6,7,8 sot every day..u such a big liar

  • bought it a month ago..very good in every aspect..but not the video recording..i hope this model will receive EIS for better video recording..by the way i get 7,8 hours on SOT in daily use😁

  • Honor 10 Lite, Huawei y9 2019, Honor 8x & Huawei Nova 3i All these are priced very closed to each other ((RM700 - 800) and very similar specs. How to choose which is best? If i top up another RM200 - 300, can get the Honor Play or the Huawei Nova 4e.

  • I thought I was the only one suffering with mine, everything about this device is far far far #superb. The only downside is the front camera which you rightly said. And it makes me unable to talk much whenever I'm around my peers and like we wanna take pics. I do #boast a lot about #this_device in all aspects, except their front camera which over saturates and at times too whitens the image.

  • The screen is not ''Amoled'', neither has ''cornning gorilla glass'' scratch resistant no COF (chip-on-flex) but only ''LTPS''- ''2.5D curved''.

  • Is it only my phone or is the y9 selfie camera showing a lots of saturation when taking selfies

  • But surprisingly the y9 is more expensive in my area

  • Is it only my phone or does the y9 over-saturate pictures especially with the selfie camera

  • i need one im in kisumu

  • How about the original camera app in Y9 (2019)? It has the same issue or not? If the original camera app in the phone do not have the issue, then the problem is coming from the camera app that you downloaded. Y9 (2019) is AI camera, the downloaded camera app does not support AI functions.

  • Not really amoled is not that expensive

  • after the latest update i lost my mirror app. has anyone face the same issue after the latest update

  • With your logic,Y9 should be cheap as well since huawei makes lots of garbage phones Jim

  • anyone have a working gcam v6 ??

  • It's expensive because it got an amoled display Einstein

  • No problem, great phone for 200 euros...very fast. Huawei surely number one this year, the last phones from Samsung cannot compete. Crappy A30 even more expensive than Y9.

  • It does work fine with other apps, the issue is after I take the first picture, it closes right after 8-10 seconds, I have no idea of what's wrong with it.

  • does the camera work fine when you use another camera app?

  • Then you need to sent the phone to HUAWEI service center.

  • I did a factory reset and I already have the latest update, please help.

  • I did both things and it got better but it's doing it again :(

  • i have tried to long in, in the beta app but its ahowing long fail

  • anyone got emui 9 beta for JKM-LX1 ?? if yes tell us in which region. and thanks

  • new update pops up

  • First thing i did after buying the phone is updating software and apps. No problem, everything perfect. Love it, i was a Samsung fan but Y9 4GB/64GB for only 200 euros is amazing. The screen is huge and so nice.

  • I like your hp a lot even Hua Wei the pictures look attractive I don't know what too say but it look nice for my birthday present

  • Oh my god !! the best battery back up ever..I dont know why you are lying and what is your purpose..this is shameful.

  • very very worst i am putting always with me powerr bank to charge mobile....

  • very worst battery back up

  • The person means that even the device have 4gb RAM, it was not fully utilized and feel slow than the expected that you can seen on different device (Honor 8X?). I feel the same thing and also the phone feels laggy when you press the multi-task/recent app button.

  • Not me

  • very lovely, from the camera to the screen, to the battery to the speaker, everything about it is awesome, got mine about 4days ago

  • No it doesnt make any sense.. can you explain it more clearer?

  • hi! have you update your phone to the latest version(jkm-lx2 8.2.0.154(c636)full) already. i bought mine 2 days ago. and haven't yet update it to the latest version i mentioned. because some users of y9 posted their problems about after updating their phones. what's your experience about the update if ever you made it already. thank you!

  • hi! have you update your phone to the latest version(jkm-lx2 8.2.0.154(c636)full) already. i bought mine 2 days ago. and haven't yet update it to the latest version i mentioned. because some users of y9 posted their problems about after updating their phones. what's your experience about the update if ever you made it already. thank you!

  • i bought mine, just 2 days ago. and its totally awesome. i just worried about to update my phone to JKM-LX2 8.2.0.154(C636)full. because i read some comments here that they encountered some problems after updating to latest version i was mentioned. anyone can help me please or give some advice what to do? i hope too GSMARENA can give me answer about this. thanks in advanced.

  • Absolutely right.I think it's a marketing issue .giving an edge here another one there for the honour 8x..

  • Amazing how technology is fast getting better...this 200 euros phone would have been a 800 euros flagship three years ago.

  • for some reason huawei is not making advantage of the full 4gb ram; it starts killing older tasks as it fills 2.5 gb as a result there is always a free 1.5gb not used and thats really grinds my gears like honor 8x allows for many apps in memory but y9 2019 only stores 8 apps. Huawei is not taking advantages of the hardware and limiting it by software as the processor can record slow mo as seen in honor 8x but y9 doesnt support it also there is no software video stabilisation and the biggest problem for me is that i cant root thr phone. So in my experience the phone has really great hardware with abnormally long battery life but it is limited by the software. i hope i made sense.

  • And large memory 4GB/64 GB with big battery...love it

  • Upgrade you phone to the last software and do a hard reset. It should do the trick.

  • Very satisfied with the phone. Screen, speaker, speed, camera, UI,...everything is top quality. Only 200 euros, Samsung is way behind...It is big and heavy but the girls love it.

  • try to factory reset your phone?

  • hi please what about loudspeaker is that good for old people?

  • As per my experience regarding this phone, laggy for Multi-Tasking... Can you give an advise to make it smoother?

  • I need help with my Y9 2019, for some reason when I take a picture with either camera (front or back), the camera closes on its own after 9-10 seconds, even with me changing settings or just waiting for the timer to take another picture, it's quite annoying and there is nothing online about this, not sure if it's a bug. I never use it from the lock screen, so I don't know what is wrong with it, anyone else having the same issue?

  • it depends how you use it.

  • Excellent battery backup..average 9 hours SOT.sometimes it is 7 hours with very heavy games and others it can reach 11 hours with facebook whatsapp youtube browsing and mild games.I am talking wifi.didnt try it on 4g..standby time let u lose 5 to 8% every 24 hours depending on the active apps opened in the background while screen is sleeping.

  • just want to know about battery back up

  • I use to charge this phone after 48 hours of last charge! It’s a wonderful phone! Loves it. I recommend anyone who is looking for a mobile to fit for tomorrow.

  • this phone is good but its price is little higher in market ,compared to samsung m20 almost same but cheaper than it

  • This phone is cheaper than my nova 3i, has a 6.5 inch display while mine has 6.3, really good battery and display, overall is an excellent phone. Should have bought this one instead.

  • As at now, I have 39% of battery left and The phone has been away from charger for about 17-18hours already and I've used the screen too for 6hours and 45minutes. So you can imagine

  • This phone is a beast when it comes to BATTERY LIFE. If you're a Heavy User, you can easily get 7Hours of screen use, As a normal user, I get more than 24hours of this phone's usage with about 9-11hours of screen use. But the screen usage time may reduce a bit depending on your usage.

  • It has bren rumoured that the y9 2019 will get the pie update in may .a beta version of the update is already released in China which means the final stable one is coming.

  • Hi everyone Advise will this phone get updated to Android pie and when Thanks

  • is it worth to buy? the battery drain fast or no? Anyone please answer and suggest me any worth phone too 😢 i want to buy new phone soon

  • Battery performance quite ok,i can get sot more than 8 hours +almost 24 hours of standby time iinm (wifi) Just the turn down for me is the camera,to much contrast..hope huawei can fix in future firmware update..

  • Yh Everything works fine, EXCEPT the FRONT CAMERA. Even after update, it's CONTRAST is still blown away.

  • I'm surprised to hear this. I have updated mine also to the latest version and for about two weeks now, everything still works the same. No sign of what you're saying on yours. And I'm still able to get a full day's usage with sometimes about (8.5, 9 - 11)hours of SCREEN USE easily, I'm sure it's LUCK, If you're lucky you get all the benefits of the upgrade, but not everyone. And mine is the JKM-LX1 model. Sorry for you tho.

  • Great smartphone, bright and full hd display very smooth performance and great camera.

  • Excellence

  • One of the best value.for money phone. Powerful phone at a cheap.price need to double the sum to get the same technologies in another

  • I buy vivo y95 2 days ago cell was overall good except its camera features i want to buy huawei y9 plz someone guide me about the camera of the cell

  • Bought a y9 1 month before,display is good,performance also fine only problem is camera. Worst camera found in 2019

  • Same with me here. I will just ignore the notification about a new version of software is available.

  • If you need a new phone immediately, then HUAWEI Y9 (2019) is a better choice.

  • When you update your phone it'll downgrade some features and cause it to be all buggy. That's why NEVER UPDATE YOUR PHONE. It happens to all phones, so that's why I'd reccomend to get phones with pre installed updates.

  • it doesnt support 5ghz wifi. "c" is not there.

  • If you not in a hurry to buy a new phone, I suggest you should wait for the new HUAWEI P30 Lite (HUAWEI nova 4e in some countries). This device sure can fulfil your needs. It has 24MP (wide angle) + 8MP (120 degrees ultra wide angle) + 2MP (depth) triple rear camera sensor. The price is around 300 Dollar.

  • Wth after the recent update my notification bar vanished T.T I have to swipe down in order to look at my bat and notification

  • no 4G+

  • Best mobile of mid range

  • Hi there, want to buy a phone with camera having wide angle feature for real estate shots (when can't use my DSLR). Budget USD200-300. The samsung M20 was just released with this feature and price but the reviews are not good at all. Was wondering about the Huawei Y9. Can anyone advise on how good the camera is? and if there is wide angle feature? Which one would you go for between Huawei Y9 and Samsung M20? Thanks

  • Do a factory reset

  • I want to buy a phone with camera that does well with wide angle shots for real estate pictures within a certain budget like USD200-300. I am hesitating between the Huawei Y9 and the Samsung M20 just released with that feature. Yet reviews on M20 not so good... Any feedback on Y9 camera features especially wide angle would be greatly appreciated!

  • Nice phone.. This phone is indeed a best.. Better than most of the high end phones..

  • Im using this phone and there is no log when it comes to gaming. best for gaming like PUBG. There is no issue or anything.

  • after recent update 60fps video racording not working.............. but before update it wored fine...is that any bug??

  • Nice phone, very strong battery, superb camera, have not had any issues at all.. The phone is a beast and better than most of high end phones.

  • Yes you can, kirin 710 is comparable to sd660, maybe the latter is slightly better, but it gives you an idea about the performance of this smartphone.

  • Can you guys please tell me if this phone is good for games like Mobile Legends? Thanks in advance for those who will help. I am looking to buy this phone but I am still looking for other options. Also are there any issues you are experiencing with this device?

  • I can't wait to have this phone. I went to the retail outlet, bit I was disappointed to found out that, the product is out of stock. I was asked to drop my contact. They promise to make it available before Friday

  • I can't wait to have this phone. I went to the retail outlet, bit I was disappointed to found out that, the product is out of stock. I was asked to drop my contact. They promise to make it available before Friday

  • Great phone high tec ... match easily with all the A series of Samsung and much cheaper and much better design that Samsung or Nokia

  • can't seek forward or rewind while playing any video!!

  • Please is the notification shade/ toggle still dark and blue? I like the white notification shade in the nova 3i and other android smartphones

  • after recent update 60fps video racording not working.............. but before update it wored fine...is that any bug??

  • 8x has 20 megapixel camera and polymer battery. y9 has ion battery but a little bigger capacity. 8x used LTPS technology . I compared y9 screen has better view from sides. 8x a little darker but it's not important. Colors are the same Both have same cpu

  • is the 128gb available here in the philippines? I love this phone also the specs but i think the 128gb is not available here in the phlippines

  • can somebody please tell me the detailed difference of y9 and 8x? still confused of what phone to buy

  • My front camera is giving me superb selfies and no complain so far. Am enjoying my phone

  • after 1st update 60fps video racording not working..which was priviously worked fine before update

  • Anyone facing bluetooth issues??.my y9 is not recognizing the Lenovo k4 note..while the k4 note recognizes it.and if I have to send any document from the y9 I have to pair it from the lenovo..very strange.

  • Phone is smooth, camerra is ok for posting in social media, battery is strong and can last all the day with permanent use. What I don't like is that you need to download a 3rd party app to see the always om clock and notifications on a locked screen. Also my led pulse notification does not glow enough to see it and you can not control tone notifications. For exemple if you download the outlook app for mail and you want to let each mail address tone different for each new mail. It does not work. I used to have an S7 that used to be able to setup the tones and led light for each app. Other than that, it is great phone for the price.

  • You are welcome. At least the problem is solved.

  • all 3 of us are living in the same roof coz we're sisters. and yes, my simcard is a 4g sim card. I would not have asked for a 4g signal if I know that my simcard is only a 3g one. and there you go, suggesting the same suggestion as of silverdare. yes, I've already brought my y9 2019 in a service center and I'm more than a happy now. the phone is great, no, SUPERB, in EVERYTHING about it since I got 4g signal now using the same simcard I have for more than a year now. anyhow, I still thank you. atleast you cared to help out.

  • Yes, there are dedicated slots for the two sims and the SD Card

  • You said three of us using the same network provider but with different phone brands. You are the only one just get the H+ with Y9 (2019). First of all, H+ is 3G. All the phones will show H+ on the screen instead of 3G. Second, have you mentioned that whether your SIM card is a 4G SIM card or not? No! Maybe your SIM card is still a 3G SIM. If you already have a 4G SIM, then have you checked whether your current area got 4G services from your network provider or not? If there are 4G services for all the areas that you stay and work but you still cannot get the 4G, then there is something wrong with your Y9 (2019). You need to send the phone to service center.

  • Can I used 2 sim card n sd card? Does battery drain faster or not, because I want buy it,. What is your suggestion?

  • Great Great Great smartphone. Beautiful, silky and smooth

  • Tell.me.if.any problem.found

  • oh, really now. I am looking for a factual solution on my phone's problem not a strong belief of yours. but thanks anyhow "mr. know it all". you should've read the previous message carefully before posting your "not helping" opinion.

  • I don't like to play soccer games, sorry.

  • Nope. It'll be awhile before they deploy a fix. We're probably gonna have to wait for the Emui 9.0 update

  • See if your camera can still record @60fps. Pretty sure it can't anymore.

  • i can't record video at 60 fps after update 154 LX2 what's the problem !!!

  • Have you gotten a fix for it yet?

  • My phone is slowing down and been logging all the time.

  • Plz can it play PES 18 and 19 plzzz

  • You should contact your service provider first before you send the HUAWEI Y9 (2019) to the service center. I strongly believe that the problem is with your service provider or maybe you need to replace a new SIM card.

  • thanks for the info. but I'm still hoping for a 4g. coz it feels like I'm still using my old phone. that is one of the reasons why I've changed my old mobile phone to a new one.

  • After my upgrade to 8.2.0.155((185), I haven't seen any changes at all with my phone. My FRONT CAMERA is still not performing at all, it gets the picture all right, but the picture appears faded or somehow greyish/brownish( just like what came out of the box). I'm having some sliiiight decrease in my battery performance, it's sad, but not that big of a difference so in a way I'm not complaining 😢. Let me know the changes you also have seen after your upgrade. Especially the front camera 🎦 Thank you!

  • After the update my twin app was messed up. Cloned messenger suddenly disappears after every app update. Also the are two sets of cloned FB. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • H+ is basically faster than 3G.

  • but should I still try to reset the network settings first before bringing it to the service center?. thanks.

  • This is not normal.you should take it to a service center.

  • not yet. how can I do that?. nope, not even 4g. as I have said I can't even have 3g. the maximum signal strength I can get is just h+.

  • how to do that?

  • Did you try to reset the network settings?.what about the 4g??

  • signal sucks. I can't even have 3g on my y9. there are 3 of us using same network provider, different phone brands though, yet I am the only one who is facing signal problem. I can just get H+ with my y9 2019. so very disappointing.

  • The 5ghz is only available in the 6/128 gb version.

  • i cant get 5Ghz wifi on my y9 can i know what's the issue ?

  • I just updated my Huawei Y9 2019. I will come back to give my full experience about the camera, performance and battery. 🙏

  • I can still record videos at 60 fps after update.

  • Gorilla Glass

  • That's how updates mess your phone up and make it less powerful, like what I said below...

  • Plz help y9 or galaxy a7 2018?

  • What's so funny about this is that the latest update was supposed to "Optimize camera performance"

  • Yes!! I thought I was the only one having that issue. Hope it gets fixed in an upcoming update

  • The new update (8.2.0.154) messed up the video settings. I can't record videos at 60 fps anymore.

  • You are right. If you can take care of the phone, it's actually do not need what gorilla glass and tempered glass protector on it. If you cannot, then all of them are useless and your phone will be broken during the time you drop it.

  • gsmarena is wrong? then why you come here to post your coment, do you think you are smarter then gsm arena,or androidbeat ? digit.in?device specifications?

  • it gets hot when pubg run in medium graphics

  • Does this device support Google camera

  • Huawai y9 2019 What a lovely device i m using it and very well satisfied long battery wonderful display

  • hauwei y9 19 superb device excellent battery timing great display 6.5 inches 4 gb ram 64 gb rom i am using it since 20 days and am quite happy with the performance of my device

  • Again.I dont know why you are being so upset.there is nothing to be jealous about .I saw both devices.and "used" them for 10 minutes.and I selected the y9 for 2 main reasons: 1-The 4000 mah battery which gives me around 50 minutes additional screen on time. 2-The polycarbonate back which is much much safer than the glass .if you tell me that youre gonna protect it with a fiber or plastic cover.then both devices will look the same! I agree and wrote it in my post.that the 8x look and design are of a high profile . I assure you once again that the 8 x does not have gorilla glass.and what is posted on gsmarena is wrong and they should rectify it.you can check androidbeat and many others on google. I agreed as well about the camera and video shooting.the main one.but the front one especially after the new 155 update on the y9 is equivalent and even better because already you have 2 front cameras vs one for the 8x. Wifi direct and hotspot are available too on the y9.I dunno why you claimed they arent As for the 5ghz I said in other posts that it is not available on the y9 64/4gb version.but you can find it on the 128/6 version that is being sold in few selective markets and/or online. No need to be aggressive.both devices are great.in my country the y9 64gb is sold for 230 $( with an sd 32gb memory card as a gift) and the 8x 128gb for 288$. And I selected the y9 because of the safer polycarbonate back.4000 mah battery vs 3750.and better and louder audio.esoecially during calls..both devices are a success.it is a matter of taste and priorities.

  • You are right. In my opinion, if you want a phone with Pie, better buy a new one with Pie pre-installed inside.

  • People keep complaining about no android 9 upgrade, well did you know that upgrading phones OS might actually weaken some functions of the phones. Like when some phones get upgraded the charging time will increase... And what's so wrong about Android 8.1 that you are so desperate to upgrade???

  • Here's an advantage for Honor 8x Honor 8X Y9 video fps 60 vs fps30 wi-fi 5GHz vs no wi-fi dual band vs no WI-fi ac vs no Wi-fi direct vs no 2X2 mimo vs no gorilla glass 3 vs no COF (Chip-on-Flex) - no Have a nice day

  • your answer is not accurate, because you do not own this phone, the screen is with ''gorilla glass 3'' for more , go to - device specifications and type'' honor 8x'' to get the full device specifications and you will get the answers for your understanding, But for rear part of Honor 8x who comes with'' 16 canvas glass'' you can not even imagine how nice it is. I'm only looking at jealousy in your commentary

  • Yes..go ahead and updare.nothing to worry about.the camera will improve.new lighting features..files and battery wont be affected .

  • Got the update already and i can say its good. The phone is smooth. Plus the update in camera is good too.

  • Is it worth the Jkm-lx2 8.2.0.154-FULL update?

  • Please guys I want to know if any of you has received the new update? The update is JKM-LXI 8.2.0.155(C185). It says it will improve the camera function, 3D lighing effect, new security patch etc. Is it safe to update.? Please help

  • VoLTE will turn on automatically when your service provider has this service.

  • Is the Android Pie update coming here in the Philippines?

  • When is Huawei y9 2019 going to have android 9 and emui 9.1

  • Sorry.but no gorilla glass whatsover on the honor 8x..while its camera is slightly better than the y9.and the design as you said is of a high profile..the y9 battery is 4000 mah vs 3750 for the 8x..the polycarbonate back in the y9 is much safer than the glass in the 8x..and finally the audio is better on the y9 in media or calls.

  • The 6/128 gb version is real .but it is sold only in China and few selective markets.it dupports also the 5ghz beside the 2.4..unfortunately it is not marketed worldwide..

  • I am using this Y9 (2019) for more than two months already. No freeze, no lag but smooth like butter.

  • I saw the mentioned that the RAM is 6GB (at top right corner), why I go to shop and asked on 4GB RAM? Which one is true? Is that with RAM 6GB is fake handset?

  • How to activate volts on huawei y9 2019

  • Bought this phone 2 days ago and the screen is already freezing

  • on papers, they are almost identical, with small differences, about camera honor 8x has a special mode to improve the image quality on low light conditions, and video fps60 in relation to Y9 has only fps30. but the Honor 8's look is dramatically improved and it looks like an 800-1000 eur device, it also has an advantage on the screen that is Gorilla Glass 3 protected, and the rear part with 16 canvas glass gives it a special luxury look. but choice is yours and if you have the opportunity to feel good of this two models in hand I think that honor 8x will take you. good luck.

  • Huawei Fanboy its not a lie. that's why a change to POCO phone. coz this y9 having a problem on max setting fram drops and also I has an heat issue. 4000mah just only last with in 5hrs hard gaming trash !!

  • We need android p on Huawei y9 2019

  • Don't lie man. I also paly PUBG. Works fine to me at max settings. And battry is the best. 10hr++ screen on time.

  • Which is better, Y9 2019 or Honor 8x in terms of camera, especially in low light, and speaker quality.

  • Can anyone confirm me, while screen mirroring to Samsung led TV, it is not fitting from 3 edges, on other hand all phones including huawei p8 providing perfect screen mirroring, I have tried my Y9 2019 on another led TV but having same problem, please note Samsung led TV screen aspect ratio used to disabled while on screen mirroring, I think it is cause of 6.5inch screen and pure bug of huawei.

  • yeah ! coz they are bunch of selfish people. they love there own product!

  • this phone while paying PUG ?? well super slow !! frame drops !! camera not terrible 4000mah only last like 6 to 5hrs WTF !! no on this trash

  • There are plenty of reasons that will make the battery of your phone drain faster. 1. The apps you have downloaded are not fully optimise. 2. Your home is far away from your service provider's tower. 3. Your phone using habits and many more.

  • The best smartphone in this price range, superb display, longer battery backup, and great camera. I updated it abd it works great. NO doubt about it a great device in all aspects.

  • Good day Am also having the same problem with my battery, quick to drain doesn't last up to 2days, any solution?

  • Hi Dan, I have the same problem you mentioned. I bought it at Dubai Free Shop, I installed my SIM card on it, and is not possible to conect to 2G & 3G network of my Carrier,and my SIM card works in my old phone.ds I tried also with another carrier, and works with out problem, the funny thing is that both carrier use the same network band for 2G & 3G network and the phone support the 4 frecuency bands. Could you find a solution to your problem?, seems to be the same problem I have..... Regards

  • after updating my phone sw the notification LED stopped working

  • Not support 5 Ghz frecuency. EMUI 8.2.0

  • Kindly update the system to help us record live radio directly

  • We need android p on Huawei y9 2019

  • That is the problem of WhatsApp. You have to contact them and let them know the problem so that they can fix it with new version.

  • When this will get Android 9 pie ?!!

  • I have an issue youtube video crashes when i play the video on whats up

  • Its support 4g normal

  • Is it true that Huawei Y9 (2019) with 128GB storage available in China only?

  • Can china version be used in Africa? Pls

  • How many hours do you take to get fully charged? My HUAWEI Y9 (2019) takes two hours ten minutes to get fully charged from 20% during lock screen mode. If you are using the phone during charging time, it will take longer time to get fully charged.

  • Contact your service provider.

  • why the battery take long time in charging from 0 to 100%?

  • Very slow Internet signal. Photos of news channels are not reflecting better, as compared to low cost devices. Screen is not clear in sunlight. Battery consumption is fast.

  • Mine doesn't support 4g. Tried doing it through playstore setting still not working. So. Done pls help with a better alternative

  • I updated it and no issue work very smoothly both 4g active. Battery good

  • Does it has alway on display?

  • thanks for the info.. such a relief coz I'm planning to buy one..:)

  • fake news. its available in phils

  • it is. i just bought one from a huawei store 2 weeks ago.

  • Thanks dear i got it, a very micro green light

  • Does this phone allow change of font

  • is it true that y9 2019 isn't available in the Philippines?.. omg..

  • The notification light has already been activated, Light is in the right corner of your earpiece.

  • No need to activate. It will blink automatically if there is unread message or miss call.

  • If you can take a good care of the phone, then no need such gorilla glass screen. If you cannot take care of your phone, no matter is gorilla glass screen or diamond screen, it will crack also.

  • Plz tell me where we should active notifications light.

  • I plan on buying this phone ( huawei y9 2019), but am worried about the lack of corning gorilla screen

  • like what a friend already posted it is exactly similar to cast screen.

  • My HUAWEI Y9 (2019) do not encounter this problem in Malaysia.

  • This is my opinion only. If I found that there is no problems with the software and user interface, I totally will not download and install any of the new version of software until I change a new phone. So my HUAWEI Y9 (2019) is still maintaining the same version of software when it is out of the box.

  • mirrorshare is as same as cast screen. with this function, you will be able to connect y9 2019 on your smart tv.

  • Guyz, what has been the difference in camera quality and battery times, after your newest system updates on this device, (y9 2019).

  • what is the mirrorshare?

  • have you notice the red yellow and green color in screen when u scroll down in home screen. or i am the one who encounter this?

  • very good budget phone

  • It has MirrorShare function .

  • does it have a cast screen or can you connect it to a smart tv?

  • Unfortunately.it does not have this feature.you have to download it from the playstore or other source.

  • Can anybody plz tell me that, huawai y9 2019 is having auto call recording feature? If yes then plz suggest me the way to active this feature.

  • Hi guys which one should I buy? Y9 2019 or p20 lite? I use it mainly for taking photos and social media, right now I’m using iPhone SE

  • It's P10. Seems to have bigger price than y9 even its decice from 2017.

  • Yes, The phone has the LED notification light,

  • Please guys, i have had some experience with some phones that after update, some vitals things will be removed from the device. E.g= like 4g on single sim instead of double 4g, like removing fonts e.t.c. I want to if anyone has updated his huawei y9 2019? Should i update mine if i recieve update?

  • have led notifications light or not? is it a good phone?

  • LOL

  • Hi there There is notification about a New update availble but i am warry about updating it cause my bad experience with samsung mobile software update.. Do anyone update it?? And how it works after update??

  • Magnificent smartphone very speedy, large bright display solid battery backup, and silky smooth touch.

  • tq bro

  • Different models support different network bands. So which model you choose depends on your region (or network provider). You should check which 4G bands your network provider supports.

  • My Mega 6.3 from 5 years ago was enormously gigantic...but now Y9 is about the same size and seems standard. Hope folding phones will be the solution to that size race.

  • The battery is protected from overcharging, Huawei makes millions of phones they know how to do...and every phone in the market will also reduce the camera resolution if you want full screen camera and a rectangular size picture.

  • Not true.it does autocut power when it shows on the screen the word "charged" and the charger becomes cold.but the led light doesnt turn off .this could be fixed through an update in the future.

  • redmi note 6 pro..for gaming snapdragon chipset its perfect..want camera full screen xiaomi..Y9 not support high Mp fullscreen display 18:9..only 4:3 display

  • i dissapointment about Y9..cause main camera display cannot fullscreen when use..camera to fullscreen must down to low Mp to fullscreen display..and when overcharge until 100%, this phones not autocut off..this y9 still charge untill you pull out cable..i hope no autocut off overcharge, the battery can use in longterms..

  • I recommended huawai y9 2019.

  • thx bro

  • Which one is best to buy? Redmi note 6 pro Huawei Nova 3i Huawei y9 2019

  • Probably the other 2 versions : 6gb/64gb and 6g/128 gb...the 128 supports 5ghz band

  • Excellent smartphone in all aspects. Soft and silky device. Super fast, lovely display and long battery backup.

  • available sa cmk for P12,300

  • Its great phone. I love it

  • Wut is JKM-LX1 ,JKML2 and JKM LX3 different on huawei y9 2019 .And which is the better model

  • yes

  • is it 5g suport mobile

  • it has face id and it is just amazing

  • You no need to worry about that. HUAWEI Y9 (2019) has a LED notification light.

  • How to video call on y9 2019??

  • Do you have P10 or P10 lite?

  • Does Y9 2019 have LED notification light..??? blinking light on front.????

  • its not for sale in the Philippines where can I buy one?

  • Thanks dear, its great features i activated these wonderful features.

  • I replied yesterday.but dunno why it was not posted.Ill repeat .it doesnt have the double tap but it has an even better feature : pick to wake or lift to wake .it can be activared from the settings.

  • Thanks dear, yes this smartphone is super hit. I am using it great phone.

  • It doesn't have it but the phone is super good. I'm using it

  • HUAWEI Y9 (2019) do not have double tap to wake up the screen. But it has a better option : pick up the phone to wake up the screen function. You can use this feature with face unlock function. Just go to Settings, then Smart Assistance, then Motion Control, you will see the function inside the Motion Control there.

  • No it does not have..but it has the lift to wake feature..you have to activate it in the settings

  • Any one plz answer that huawai y9 2019 is having doubke tap screen on option or not? If it hasthenplz suggest methe way to active

  • 2 hour 30 min

  • No fast charging but very solid battery back up.

  • I saw another review that said Y9 2019 does not have fast charging. Is this true?

  • HUAWEI Y9 (2019) is better.

  • Actually I'm using Ram4GB/Rom64GB Y9 device. Im happy with it and the price it have. But im curious if there is better performance for under 100$ 6/128 device ? Btw im still using my Huawei P10 which comes to be faster than the Y9 even the Ram/ Rom is same 4/64.

  • Does anyone have experience with Ram6GB/128Rom device ? Please some feedback for that if anyone have.

  • I am using this device huawai y9 2019, overall a great smartphone, excellent speed, voice quality, signals strength and camera. I used Samsung for the last 8 years and first time i perchased huawai and i am very much satisfied with the performance of huawai. In Pakistan the price of huawai y9 2019 is 37 to 38k, in this range this devise is a must perchase, forget samsung mid range phone they are now cheating with people.

  • Which is better Huawei Y7 2019 or Huawei Y9 ?

  • I checked my Messenger one time theb the app froze. Then i tapped home button to exit the app. However the screen turned black but navigation buttons were still visible. I locked then unlocked the unit then it went back to normal. Days after, i was using my phone fir Facebook when it suddenly locked on its own (since the screen of my phone is 5 secs to lock). Then after unlocking, the screen went black again. But this time no navigatiins butting but it went back to Facebook. Does this really sometimes happen? Thanks!

  • But the differences between them are few, right ?

  • The F9 is in a higher price range, so ofcourse it's better, better cameras + fast charging + a modern water drop notch. But the Y9 is still a good value for the price.

  • Which is better, Huawei Y9 or OPPO F9 and why ? thanks in advance

  • yes

  • Great budget phone...Huawei has made tremendous progress in just two years. But that rectangular notch is ugly, a simple waterdrop notch would have been much better. Who needs two cameras on the front anyway ?

  • accessories?

  • When will this problem happen? If this happen before you download any of the apps from Play Store, then is the software problem of the phone. If this happen after you download the apps from Play Store, then is the problem of the apps you downloaded. You need to check it one by one and find out which app that cause the screen flickering. Anyway my Y9 (2019) do not have such problem. I am from Malaysia and I do not download and update any of the new version of the software after I bought the device.

  • Does it support OTG?

  • Unfortinately.a major inconvenience.but I was told that the 6gb/128gb version does in fact support the 5ghz.but it is only sold in specific markets.

  • Your screen is also flickering when you drop down the notification bar?

  • This phone does NOT support 5ghz wifi band so no support of 802.11a. Can you imagine??? With so many bells and whistles on board it could be a killer device, but no 802.11a... Seriously???? Major black point

  • No problem dude. That's already happened me too. It's the new version problem dude. After update it will be ok

  • My y9 screen was always flickering when I drop down notification bar so I went for replacement. I'm facing the same problem with the new one. Who is also facing similar problem?

  • Yes, it does

  • Yes, there are different slots for SIM 1, SIM 2 and memory card.

  • One is using Android while the other one is using IOS. Not comparable.

  • Can anyone tell me that does Y9 have a dedicated memory slot?

  • can any one tell which is better y9 or iphone7

  • Settings- Smart assistance- Motion control- Pick up- wake up device. You click by this order and youre there.

  • Go to Settings, then click the Smart Assistance and go to turn the function on in Motion Control there.

  • Probably smart assistance.

  • Where can i find lifto light screen function

  • which one I should buy,Honor 8x or y9 2019?

  • HUAWEI Y9 (2019) has a function called lift to light the screen. You can pick up the phone and raise to your face to unlock it with face recognition. Even if you don't use the face recognition, you can also use it to wake up the screen. For me, this is better than double tap function previously.

  • It depends on the market. Some countries may have a 6GB RAM version and a 4GB RAM version, but some countries just have 4GB RAM version only (like Malaysia).

  • Phone is perfect for gaming. I bought it for that purpose only. Can survive 24/7 of gaming but sometimes I experience a little hang on graphics but very minimal. The only bad thing about it is the WLAN is only dual-band

  • Hi Just bought unlocked Y9 2019 in Dubai put my AT&T sim it worked but as soon as I landed it doesn’t recognize the network. It shows my number and took it to AT&T so the store manager could check different APNs but none worked Help!

  • details when it comes to camera (rear and front) is very confusing,.. checked reviews about the phone and they say it's 16MP for front cam and 13MP for rear.. I just bought the phone a couple of days ago and I'm satisfied with it. *** with this phones FINGER PRINT sensor, it was so A - MA - ZING *** battery life is good *** charging time a bit good *** camera is good *** loud speaker is good Just a comparison with the previous phone (Vivo) that I had before , It doesn't have the; *** " VISITOR MODE " wherein you can let your friend use your phone without compromising your privacy *** " DOUBLE TAP " to turn the phone on. and it's a bit annoying that it's not asking you if you want to use mobile data from SIM 1 or SIM 2.. It's either you set it to SIM 1 or SIM 2 that's it, compare to VIVO phone that it keeps on asking if you want to use SIM 1 or SIM 2 every time you turn on the mobile data. another feature that i love the most in Vivo phones, it has the capability to hide some Apps

  • There is a face recognition feature.through the sensors.

  • It supports VR I downloaded VR checker and it is 100% compatible.

  • ram 4gb not 6gb ?!!

  • Is there slow motion feature in Y9 (2019)?

  • 9.5 / 10 to HUAWEI Y9 (2019).

  • support of 360 videos but not VR mode :(

  • But no face ID

  • Huawei y9 2019 andriod pei 9.0 release Date

  • Fairly good speaker above average.and great call quality.

  • Y9 2019 or P20 Lite ? Y9 2019 or Mate10 lite? thx

  • i am about to buy one .. do you recommend it for me or not? from ../10 how much do u rate it? mate 10 lite or Y9 2019? thank u very much

  • The sound from the loud speaker of HUAWEI Y9 (2019) is the best and clear even not yet set to the maximum point.

  • i want to ask about the speakers is it low volume or normal

  • maybe watch youtube for review

  • Sorry to disappoint you but, not gonna happen

  • gsm arena, when will you review huawei y9 (2019)?? waiting eagerly. or do you have any plan to not review it???

  • One of the bang for a buck phones out there. Good camera, real dual SIM with MicroSD slot, good screen size and excellent battery life.

  • No.

  • Thx Sasha

  • It have fast charge?

  • no infrared

  • Does the Huawei Y9 2019 have infra red?

  • Huawei Y9 (2019) has an interesting change comparing to past Huawei phones - the selfie has a second sensor/depth sensor now, assuming Huawei had put more efforts in selfie cam, and the upcoming P30/P30 Pro will be very interesting.

  • So true, it just pissed me off, sold it out after a week

  • Yes, HUAWEI Y9 (2019) has a very good quality loud speaker on the bottom of the phone. The sound from the speaker is very clear and loud even not set to the maximum. It is very good when use to watch movies and play games.

  • Just wow 😍😍 I bought it a week ago. What a devise. Best battry ever 👌👌👌 Kirin710, 4Gb ram, mali g51 mp4 nice and smooth. Better than my ex galaxy s7. There is no any heating issues. No lagging. I instrall more than 50 apps. All are working fine. Fingerprint scanner work very well. I hope huawei will give emui 9.0 update for y9 2019. Y9 have qulity sound. Rear camera is not very good tho. Its nice but not the best. Ansd selfi camera works for me thats nice. It take 2hr n 3min to charge 10% to 100%. And best battry ever. Overall y9 2019 very good devise for the budget, actually best i think. (Sorry for bad english)

  • why not mention on the spec. if the unit is waterproof

  • Is this upgradeable to EMUI 9 (Android 9) ?

  • yes its charging fast

  • All HUAWEI / HONOR phones do not overheat unless there are some software problems.

  • HUAWEI Y9 (2019) has a 5V / 2A charger.

  • Guys, honor play or huawei Y9? Honor play looks attractive with kirin 970 but some says it got overheating issues, do y9 has that problem?

  • Does this have fast charging ???

  • I never faced this kind of problems when I use youtube probably bc of the net speed and quality of 2.4ghz

  • Not have slow motion only time lapse.

  • One thing that sucks about this phone is the outdated emui . Am not a fan of the blue dark notification toggles. Is there a way to customize it to look like the normal white notification toggle just like nova 3i????

  • They probably will make soon a new Y9 with small waterdrop notch...with what name...too soon for Y9 2020.

  • What?? Tecno Camon 11?? Don't try that phone. Its decent but it has poor resolution and gaming is the worst i have seen. It cant even play dream league soccer, a game that runs fine on most low end phones

  • What LTE frequency bands are in this huawei Y9 model ?

  • it's the same phone.. just huawei give option whether u like plastic back or aluminum. For me i like the Y9 for its elegant look compare to 8x just pretty basic and both gives u premium feeling to touch

  • For bigger display, Y9 (2019) has a 6.5 inch FHD+ screen. For larger battery, Y9 (2019) has a 4,000mAh battery. And Y9 (2019) has a louder loud speaker.

  • Which one should i get specially for camera Huawei Y9 2019 or Honor 8X? Both phones are same price in my country

  • in this info and in antutu benchmark says the rear camera is 16MP while front cam is 13MP but when I checked my Y9(2019) the rear cam is only 13mp and the front is the 16mp... Why this?? Huawei should fix this... waiting for android 9 PIE.. :(

  • I recommend you to buy Mi A2 for better Camera and Performance, but Y9 has a better battery

  • I did update and I faced increase in battery drain and decrease in brightness.to be honest with you.I called the official dealer( that was 2 months ago) here in Beirut and the technical support suggested a facrory reset..I did it and everything went back to normal again.today I managed 11 hours screen on time with 15% left.40% btightness (wifi connected)

  • I fear updates, because many people complain that after updating their phones, their batteries start draining fast, so I don't have any plans to update it. But then since you have updated yours, tell me the GOOD and the BAD so far after your updates with this particular phone and let me know if I would like to update mine.

  • Huawei y9 have a pattern lock, change it method on security settings

  • Are you talking about the front or main camera??.did you download the 130 update? Because it improves the front camera.maybe the cameras are not the best but I cant say they are so disappointing.something is wrong.

  • Can I know the reasons why you are disappointed with the camera?

  • I just bought one and so far SO GOOD. I really LOVE what I'm getting for my money, the only NEGATIVE about this device is the CAMERA which is very very DISAPPOINTING.

  • Why is not pattern lock in Huawei Y9 2019

  • Standby.sim card in .wifi on .but without uding at all .around 8 to10 % /24 hours.provided you close all the unused apps in the background.the more the wifi signal and mobile are strong the less they drain the battery.

  • Is the problem happened on this app only? If yes, then you should contact the developer of the app and let them know your problem. Maybe they will push a new version to settle the issue.

  • How is much is it

  • That's very comforting to hear Senior, really appreciate. But if I may ask for the last time, HOW FAST does it DRAIN when on STAND-BY?

  • What's your recommendation between the Huawei Y9 and Xiaomi Mi A2?

  • I have one other app problem...i installed third party app...adobe photoshop touch...but not runs smoothly ..why? Its best photo editor app

  • Not gorilla glass

  • Why huawei not give us this feature?yet both same companies

  • Yes i m too

  • Bad mobile ..not supported other best apps

  • That large notch is so 2018...2019 is now waterdrop and soon punchhole...

  • There is a version of 4/6 gb ram 128 gb that supports the 5 ghz but it is sold online in some exclusive markets.

  • i own the black one, i do like it and i hope it will last for me :D

  • Light use ie facebook whatsapp.messenger.one hour simple gane.one hour youtube browsing.I am getting 10 hours screen on time easily with 10 or 15% left. If you are a heavy gamer with high graphic games and heavy user of the camera you can get 6 to 7 hours..remember to close the unused apps on the background to save a lot of juice.of course I am talking wifi.but the data results ive bren are also close.

  • I am getting one today, can anybody assure me, that I will get 2days of use with this phone on a single charge? If so, how many Hours of SCREEN ON TIME(S.O.T) do you normally get for Heavy and Light use?

  • 5G wifi not supported.

  • BATTERY DRAIN in STAND-BY MODE. Please, is the battery really strong or weak? How many hours of SCREEN ON TIME do you get when in use from (100 - 0)% on Heavy Usage? And also, when the SCREEN IS OFF, how many PERCENTAGE drains? I'm asking this to check if it can last me the WHOLE WITH OVER 6hours of SCREEN ON TIME from 6am to 6pm. Thank you!

  • Please how is the camera? Is it sharp? How about the portrait mode? Is it very good?

  • Definitely no. My friend drop her phone and the whole screen is crack. goodthing there is a warranty and it was all replaced including the camera and battery

  • It's still under warranty so I will do that tomorrow.. Thanks

  • If a factory reset wont fix it then I suggest you replace it if it is still under warranty because this is not normal.I bought 2 and none of them did this.

  • Definitely One Plus 5T

  • If you do not have many apps and 64GB ROM already enough, go for HUAWEI Y9 (2019). If you have many apps, need 128GB ROM, then you can go for HUAWEI nova 3i.

  • My screen has been flickering anytime I pull down the notification bar.. And also, the screen flickers occasionally and stop. Who has been experiencing same issue?

  • Y9

  • I had the Y9 2019. It's worth every penny spent. Y9 > 3i, if you are seeking quality + price.

  • Yes... Soon
