Huawei Y9 Prime (2019) - User Reviews

  • No 😕

  • No

  • Yes. Working perfectly

  • I have the STK L22. There is no support for 5GHz wifi band. Only 2.4 GHz networks are shown on the list.

  • No I'm afraid not. I have one and it does not. The only complait about the device is that i wish the camera quality was better. But it is worth the price.

  • Does the Huawei Y9 Prime come with a notification LED light?

  • i have huawei y9 model in TZ but it has network problem

  • Yes I'm in Sri Lanka and it has Google

  • Hi, Does this phone guest mode or user mode option

  • In South Africa, yes...

  • does Google works on this model?

  • Nops

  • no it doesn't

  • Where?

  • Do y9 prime have led notification light?

  • Heat up problm on video call

  • 1. Performance: 10/10 It's up to standards. About same as the best SD 660, Helio P60, P70 & Kirin 710 phones. I compared it with Realme 3 in PUBG and they were equally good, but I noticed Y9 Prime 2019 heats up less. 2. Battery: 7/10 It doesn't drain quick enough to say "it sucks/has a problem", but Realme 3 battery lasts notably longer in PUBG. 3. Display: 8.5/10 It's fine but Realme 3 has better visibility under sunlight. 4. Camera: 8/10 It's quite good & I'd give it 10/10 if it wasn't for better camera phones in its price range, like Realme 3 Pro, Nokia 8.1 and Nokia 7 Plus. Unlike Y9 Prime 2019, these phones have Camera 2API, meaning you can use Google Camera to improve their already capable cameras to great extent. But despite lack of Gcam support, no one can say Y9 Prime 2019 has bad cameras. - The pictures are sharp and full of details (enough to capture knitting of your clothes by zooming). - The colours/saturation is very accurate. - Noise is kept very low, even in lowlight/indoors. - Capture time is short and video quality is good. - Selfie camera is very wide angled. - Has Expert/Pro mode for manual camera controls. Realme 3 can capture better details and matches zoom quality with Gcam, but capture time is also longer. Video quality of Y9 Prime 2019 is far better than Realme 3 and Slowmo is very impressive at 240 & 480 FPS.

  • How is the display when watching movies is it dull and washout?

  • hi Guys....without a proper reason,the battery drains very fast..i sold this unit to a customer and he complained me about the mentioned issue....if anyone who is using this phone and facing the battery draining issue.....please let me know...now after that complain i have issued him a new device.

  • This phone has a lifting lens, it is very good. It took no problem for a few months. Kirin 710F is very powerful. Plus gpu turbo 3.0 update, look forward to the arrival of emui 10.

  • Nice Story... Lowly appreciated.. xD

  • I bought it 4months ago it still good and gave me nice performance...... Great phone!

  • It has actually got a decent camera, takes quality photos and has plenty of functions. This camera is equal to one of the iPhone 8/+

  • advantages for Honor 8x, wi-fi direct + 5GHz + dual band + 2x2 mimo BeiDou global navigation , back glass versus plastic NFC, gorilla glass 3 vs no protection

  • honor 8x is better or y9 prime?

  • Nice enough phone but regret buying it. With the current environment of Chinese spying and data collection, I won't be doing any banking or any personal business on it. I'll keep it around for the camera occasionally.

  • Would be a nice upgrade from my current daily driver.

  • Y9 prime Camera result is so cheap.......

  • Good performs 😍

  • Are you playing games. On the phone? If yes, this is one reason for heating up.

  • I feel mobile is heat up issue any body has a issue like thst

  • Same issue with mine. Its just 3 days old. Now it wont sleep while on calls

  • FCCSP FC-CSP(Flip Chip-CSP) means that the chip mounted in the PCB is turned over. Compared to the general CSP, the difference is that the connection between the semiconductor chip and the substrate is not wire bonding, but bumps. Since it does not require Wire-Bonding, it is much smaller than those products that go through the general wire bonding process. In addition, many chips and the PCB are connected at the same time, in contrast to wire bonding, which requires you to connect one at a time. Moreover, the connection length is much shorter than in wire bonding, so the performance can be improved. On the benchmark tests, it gives 8% performance gain over the Kirin without FCCSP.

  • There is

  • U should check the processor then this phone is way better than samsung A50

  • A50

  • compare with galaxy a50 which one s best?

  • The ban only effects new phones like the mate 30, the y9 prime will still eventually get android 10

  • got this from a 3rd party. NIB. Threw in an AT&T, Verizon, Sprint SIM and could not get the network to work.

  • This ban only affects phones manufactured after 8/19/2019. Any phone manufactured by Huawei before then will not be affected in ANY way. Throw a straight talk sim in there, add the straight talk APN settings. Go to settings, networks, and turn 3G/LTE automatic and 4G on. You're good to go bro.

  • Just buy tenepered glass screen protectors. The 9D or 11D so if they fall, that breaks or gets damaged. Not the screen underneath. I bought 12 when I got it.

  • Huwaei y9 prime or galaxy a20 which one is better

  • Huawei is the flagship of China, no ban can kill it. China is very powerful

  • is there an availabke gcam for huawei y9 prime 2019?

  • Does anybody knows if this phone has a Notification LED? Or how do we know every tim we have a pending notification? Thanks

  • To me, this phone is the best phone ever but I hesitate to buy it because of the Ban news. Won't the ban come back? Would buying this phone won't go to waste? If the huawei ban comes back, i would consider buying this phone a waste of money. Oh how I wish the Huawei Ban is gone forever.

  • I want to buy this however I am hesitant due to the ban. If ever the ban is coming this October I want to know if this device will be included.

  • how strong is the glass on Huawei y9 prime, can it survive table height drop test? i wana buy it but that plain glass protection freaks me out?

  • It seems to be the most affordable quality handset this year. Willing to try it ASAP.

  • you phone may have been dropped.to pervrt damage, the camera was automatically retracted.continue using the camera?

  • It's not able to detect the 5Ghz WiFi network

  • Only problem is unable to connect to 5Ghz WiFi network. Only detects 2.4Ghz.....seems that the specs specified that it supports is a lie

  • Always on display in it or not?

  • Please review this phone.

  • Yes it can, check the specs. Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band ac only works on 5Ghz.

  • Don't worry...it won't affect y9 prime 2019 in any way. You can buy it without any worries...i have been using it...all google apps are working and functional...only upcoming models like mate 30 are without google apps and there is an easy way to install the google apps.

  • Cann't support Wifi 5G

  • I wanna buy, but the ban makes me anxious. What could go wrong in the future? Anyone? I need advice if i should buy. Thanks.

  • Just was wondering, if anyone has had compatibility issues in the states, like in Texas. I use straight talk. The model I got is STK-LX3 Huawei Y9 Prime. I have discovered that it might not work here..

  • as i see you are a fan of samsung, which means that you are in the wrong place. I rejected this brand which is popular but with some drawbacks so go tell someone else what is good and do not contact me, because i did not make any comment to you .

  • When global launch will be?

  • it's supposed to be listed with bluetooth 4.2 on the specsheet instead of 5.0. also it doesn't have bluetooth 5.0 unfortunately so I'm just gonna get the redmi note 8 pro

  • Huawei guys might be checking who is watching youtube :-D spying on you.

  • y9 is best

  • 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

  • Unfortunately No

  • Obvisly A50 man

  • Good value for money.. Good battery life.. No notch.. No bad camera.. Wish it supports fast charging and 5ghz dual band

  • If you want i swap my mobile to you sony xperia xz premium

  • Its a nice budget phone. If you are looking for extreme performance then it may disappoint you however its a great device for normal to high usage

  • Does this Y9 Prime have torch? What about overall performance of its all features? Is selfie camera sensitive? Should i buy or not? Which one is best in its price range?

  • Yes it can play and record 1080p@60fps

  • Y9 PRIME 2019 is best

  • plzz anybody tell me which is the best samsung a30 or huwaie y9 prime

  • Just bought one. Disappointed that wifi is not ac capable even though the specs said it would support it

  • True

  • Why not go for Honor 10?

  • huawei y9 prime is this have double tap to wake?

  • What choice between galaxy A50 , this one and the honor 10i

  • Better than A50

  • King of battery .. charging..network.. issues.. when I connected to the charger it goes 5% to 30% just second..but it last only 10 to 15 min..web browsing is too slow in good network coverage. REALLY SORRY A50 NOW I UNDERSTAND ,AM SOO WRONG...

  • I don't think my friend. Honor series and y series always have some problem and i perefer for example by realme.

  • when i play video on youtube, its selfie camera pops out and gets back in, anybody else facing this problem ??

  • For heavy gaming, I turn down the display resolution to HD+ to gain performance. Same principle with PC gaming.

  • No

  • I use it as a secondry phone with ny SIM in it. -Connectivity wise its great. Great signal, good for calls. Doesnt show and connect to Wifi 5gh unfortunately only 2.4gh. - Thr battery is great especially since the software helps save it. - If your are used to Iphone display or Amoled disply then this device screen will look terrible for you. - Not good for heavy gaming. If you are low in money and not a heavy gamer then its a great device but if you want a great screen for gaming and a performance then dont buy it.

  • Yes

  • Front is like 5/10. Rear is 9/10

  • Big device, no notch. You get to see the whole screen! Camera also isn't that bad, I don't use the front camera so much anyways so it doesn't matter to me. Battery is so good with this phone (I've had it now for a month). Screen is also good

  • Can it run 1080p 60fps video playback plz somebody reply

  • 7.5?10

  • Please can simeone rate this camera out of 10

  • Y9 Prime is a descent phone ... I advice people to go for it Good performance and a very Nice big screen Selfie camera is good and the three main cameras is acceptable (not the best) big storage 128 Giga and enough 4 giga RAM Good price (Not expensive) The only bad is the weight (198 g)

  • For faster internet speed and smoother UI, you should go for Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.

  • I do not recommend buying Huawei Prime 2019 Huawei Prime 2019 devices malfunction on pop up camera, customer service strongly refuses to replace the device within 16 days from the date of purchase. Please watch the video for the existing issue

  • No led light notification, no double tap screen to wake, no front flash. So dissappoonted a bit.

  • Nope.

  • Hye, does this phone support 5ghz? I can't find it in the settings. Help please

  • Bottom of the screen, between the usb port and speaker. Shine a bright light and you will be able to see it.

  • Same dilemma. I went for the Y9 Prime because I was able to get it at the same price as the Redmi Note 7, and I don't like notches.

  • Me too i want one and i can't make my mind

  • Can any one tell me where is the proximity sensor in y9 prime 2019. So i could check it. Some times during the call my cell phone screen doesn't turn off. Can anyone help to resolve this issue.

  • Y9 prime or Xiaomi Redmi note 7? Which one is better, I must buy one of these two phones. please suggest me,

  • Why did they buy S10 instead of Huawei P30 Pro? It ranks in top 2 in just about all camera phone ranking.

  • A50 only leads in gaming performance. Please don't expect it to be better in anything else. And your other two options are already capable of playing PUBG on high graphics. I've owned A50. Its camera is worst I've seen in midrange. It's exactly same as Redmi Note 6 Pro. F11 Pro is quite decent. I've used this phone as well. What I didn't like is that its selfie cam has a permanently on Beauty Mode. It makes you look pretty good, but I prefer my real face. Huawei Y9 Prime 2019. I've used this phone too lol xD It has similar performance as F11 Pro. I didn't like its main camera, which is still better than A50, but its selfie camera is quite good and *very* wide angled! You can fit at least 40-50% more things in its selfie camera than the other 2 phones. Personally, I think Nokia 7 Plus is better than these two phones. Same performance, excellent camera and portrait mode, good battery, has NFC and even a Telephoto lens. Quality wise, it's a tank. It's the most premium-like phone in this price. It feels a lot like iPhone 8 or a much better version of iPhone 7 Plus.

  • Exactly. I think these people don't know anything about phones and just recommend A50 because they think Samsung is a better brand.

  • Galaxy a50...

  • A50 is better

  • Eve thing is fine just selfie camera sucks have no good result

  • No

  • i don't think so. y9 is really better form all a series until a70.

  • my friend in this site two weeks ago wrote this phone discontinuing because in china called enjoy 10 and enjoy 10 not this phone. they wrote did not why huawei do this but y9 prime will became another name with some changes in end of this year. this phone isn't enjoy 10 and and you can search and read tahts knews

  • Should i get this or nova 3i or p30 lite? Someone pls give me a suggestion ,it has to b between these three,thank u

  • A50 is far more better than y9 prime.

  • In addition a50 is thinner, less in weight, best UI, less in height, good grip, no mechanical parts like pop up camera, good support, good resale. BIG BRAND, all play stores apps are tested/ made considering Samsung and Google phones, and many many more.

  • You wanna say 200 euro product isn't reliable so no body should buy it.

  • It means two brothers are right. This product is only for few months.

  • What is the better? Y9 prime, f11 pro or a50?

  • No

  • It does not.

  • Hello, It has been only one month since I bought this phone. The experience of the phone was going good so far but now the front camera is doing issue, It is not retracting. Please don't tell me to restart my phone. If anyone has face this problem, please tell the solution or am I the only one. Thanks in advance.

  • Nope

  • tell your business brothers to try ,Huawei Mate X,It essentially has three screens, with one big 8-inch OLED display that can be folded in half, leaving you with a smaller screen on each side of the handset, one of which is 6.6 inches and the other 6.4. and might be the most expensive, as it's set to cost €2,299, then compare and comment

  • Hi, just wanna ask if huawei y9 prime does have face unlock?

  • Thanks huawei, great phone with great features

  • Samsungs phones = eewk. disgusting.

  • Anybody tell me how I delete predictions for whstsapp

  • Comparing a 200 euros phone with a 1000 euros phone is not very relevant....

  • There is a 6gb variant.

  • Y9 prime doesnt support 5G for wifi conection.. Thats the only pron. Of the y9 prime

  • 4 gb ram is not a prblm. I m using it for last 1 month.feeling better

  • Disappointed Huawei products.I recommend two brothers bought Y9 and Y9 Prime.But after using few months,the screen,speaker,wifi have problems now.Boths of my brothers is businessman.They angry me now.They changed bought Samsung Note 10 last few day ago, everything is OK.

  • Thanks a lot, but what do you mean by it "has Bluetooth speaker included"? Do you literally mean the phone comes with a speaker in the pack?

  • Thanks, but it has 4gb ram.

  • I think samsung A50 reviews are more better have 6gb ram specs are more better too

  • Y9prime, better

  • Gud phone without notch. I hate ugly notch. Excellent performance

  • No facelock 😠😠😠&#128­544;😠

  • @gsmarena please give us the review of the this phone.

  • Give video review on this phone please gsmarena

  • Why this phone have no band 5, 38 dan 40 for 4G LTE?

  • Samsung A50 is good

  • a50 = better GPU, better screen, includes 15w fast charger. Huawei Y9 Prime = no notch, default camera quality (for me and my mom may vary to other people), has Bluetooth speaker included.

  • Between Huawei Y9 prime and Samsung galaxy A50, which has a better processor?

  • GSM Arena please give us a review of this phone! We've been patiently waiting and there's been no word of a review coming. We should even have a battle of pop-up camera phones. Please, please, please @gsmarena

  • I have the same problem on my Y7 prime 2019, very frustrating

  • How is the Snapchat result of Huawei Y9 Prime?

  • Why no review on this phone?

  • there is an option at bottom bar where is albums and beside it photos choose albums

  • Y9

  • Does it have fast charging?

  • I wanted to save my photos and videos in a different folders and I created for that . But it is still showing all together in one folder"all photos" . How to save in a different folder that can be seen only in one folder ???not like all mixed.

  • S8 sure

  • having difficulty in opening sim tray

  • The person who asked about the Camera on this vs the Honor 20 vs the A30. It really depends on if you want more fluid/vividbcolors which Samsung cameras are known for. The one thing you have to remember is this and the honor 20 lite have triple cameras vs the a30 you mentioned has dual(two cameras). The 2 mp 3rd camera on the back of the Y9 prime 2019 is an aperture camera specificially meaning it is specially used when you want to blur out the background in a picture and focus on something else. For example, it would be used in portrait mode to take a picture of your brother and would blur out the background and focus in on your brother specifically or any objection you choose to. I'm basing this off the honor 20 regular version which is triple cameras as well and more MP with 24 + 8 + 2 for the 2rd which is also an aperture camera like the Y9. The Y9 MP is 16 + 8 + 2. The photos are a bit crisper on the honor 20 lite. The a30, the photos are crisp and the Samsung camera app has so many different features. Now the front facing camera is 23 mp on the honor 20 lite, 16 mp both on the a30 and y9. All 3 are great and work well but remember. there is a notch hole in the a30 and honor 20 lite. The honor 20 lite is 6.21 inches. The a30 is 6.4 inches. The Y9 prime is a pop-up camera I've now used for 2 months and no dust, no fear of breaking, opens up RIGHT away when I use Snap chat. So you have the Y9 being .2 inches and .39 inches bigger which is a big difference. they both have the Kirin 710 chip inside. The F is a typo from Huawei as they said. This y9 Kirin 710 is an updated version which works 10% faster than the Kirin 710 in older models such as the honor 20 lite. Again, now I am on month 2 of heavy usage on this phone. I had used 81 GB out of of my 256 GB(expanded with 128 GB microsd) storage in the first month and had 268 apps with 15 pages worth of widgets. I now have 23 pages worth of widgets, and have instead of 268 apps now, I have 452. I have used 148 GB total out of 256 so leaving me with 108 GB left. I have used roughly about 60% of my phone's storage and I ONLY experience ANY lag when I have more than 15 apps open at once. I tested this heavily and there is NOOOO lag whatsoever scrolling thru 15 apps, 16 is where it gets a little tough. For all those talking about the google ban. It is misinformation. ALL Huawei devices released until August 19th will be full Android and continue to receive security updates and Android software updates if their phone is on the list. There are a batch of Huawei phones plus laptops plus Huawei smart TVs coming out with their own OS dubbed HongMeng in China and HarmonyOS in the USA. The phones they release AFTER August 19th will include those. Even if you buy this phone August 21st, because Huawei manufactured it before 8/19/2019 and released it before then, it will receive updates as it would whenever google releases one. Stop with dumbass misinformation.

  • us, ban, os... stop please. and try to buy y9prime. that's all.

  • it will come in this fall or early spring of the next year, but google update is coming every day and will come in the future so it won't throw away huawei and honor devices so easily, everything started because of the iphone now they earn less because of huawei, but in the future will be 2 operating systems - for- huawei and honor- and it is said that all Chinese companies will take over the new operating system, I can't wait to see that moment, it will be very interesting.

  • please informe me to buy huwaei y9 prime this mobile have 4gb ram and 128gb rom any problem this

  • Go for sony xperia xz series

  • s8

  • HUAWEI is just bluffing about their new OS, Harmony OS. If HUAWEI really settle all the problems, why they never launch a smartphone with Harmony OS until today? What are they waiting for?

  • The Y9 prime, I'm so tired of Samsung

  • What do you guys think should I buy a refurbished Samsung galaxy s8 or a new Huawei y9 prime 2019? All I want is a good camera

  • They had solved the android isssue by make their own OS Harmony OS so they can make software update and This OS had already relese, and the huawei company said if they had lost support from android can they activate harmony OS on huawei mobiles.

  • Shoot . I'm having an issue with my phone that i bought last week .. i'm having a hard time to get a 4g signal with this phone ... I'm also having an issue downloading some personal stuff related to work with this phone .. i'm not happy with this phone.. never worth it..

  • an investor in the tech sectors, is not visiting these places. not Huawei Y9 Prime (2019) - not for the price of 220 eur.

  • it may be your dream, an investor in the tech sectors, is not visiting these places.

  • Huawei y9 prime, a very nice phone. But can't download font styles like I used to on the Huawei y9. Please update on this, please

  • Why my results are totally different from yours one?

  • Huawei ban is real. Try googling now

  • Those posts on Huawei ban are obviously haters. The ban was lifted back in June 29,2019. Try Googling the news guys, its all online.

  • Very nice looking for huawei y9 Nice bro

  • US ban huawei's Google Android OS policy effective 13 or 15 August.Early action start from late May but extended to the date.So Huawei can't selling out after this date without Google Android OS in global market.And all guy need to know Huawei many model smartphone series lag send stock to market now.This is happening now.Because I am investor on tech industry sectors.

  • Ban from Google of NEW Huawei phones IS very real...

  • i like

  • there are no bans and please no fake information becouse it updated daily with google and play store

  • The ban is for huawei AND honor

  • My device produces sound of something broken around system tray, anyone else faced the same?

  • of course yes .. 2 major updates..

  • Yes they said so on Amazon

  • Will Android Q arrive to Huawei Y9 Prime??

  • Well my friend has got this phone and recently I have checked this phone first of all one thing is its screen quality is not good having a big screen but still not a good screen secondly it takes 2 hours and 15 minutes to charge full moreover it takes 5 hours to empty its juice I am using realme 3 Pro and I have to say this phone has no cons so guys please buy realme 3 Pro rather than this garbage

  • no band on honor

  • If you are unsure you can wait after a month and ask again or check in another server because they said the google service for new huawei mobiles is available untill 2019-08-20 if they have solved this problem should someone now after a month so can you read about this.

  • Yes

  • Gsmarena pls advise on the Google issues involving Huawei due to the Trump US trade ban, will that mean Google support will be withdrawn at a point? I'm about to buy this form and I'm scared. Pls I need your advice.

  • Vivo S1' super amoled screen is better,but Samsung A30/50 screen good also.

  • Please check battery rates

  • Big phone, big screen, good quality, small price. Cannot find a better one at that price until X9 become available outside China.

  • LCD sucks

  • His case is a individual problem only. HUAWEI Y9 Prime (2019) is a good phone with pop up camera, full screen with affordable price.

  • HUAWEI Y9 Prime (2019) is using a IPS screen. SAMSUNG is using a Super AMOLED screen. Both screens have their pros and cons.

  • Bring your HUAWEI Y9 Prime (2019) to HUAWEI service centre for warranty.

  • For best camera phone, of course is HONOR 20.

  • Your HUAWEI Y9 Prime (2019) has a pop up camera, right? In Setting, about phone there, your phone model is Y9 Prime (2019), right? If both of the answers are yes, then your phone does not have any problem. The problem is the app you use to check the phone is not up to date.

  • Thanks for your genuine and generous guide but can you help me to decide one of honour 20 or Huawei y9 prime 2019 or Samsung A30 for camera results particularly. Thanks

  • it has dedicated dual sim or hybrid dual sim

  • not good deasion pop up camera i don,t like that deasion....

  • Is this phone a bad phone ? planing to buy

  • After using this Y9 prime,I feel this model screen performance bad compared Samsung A30 and A50 Super amoled!I got Samsung A50 also.

  • i purchased this mobile but i show the proble for first time in charging i left 6% and than when i charging than this phone start the charging from 18 % and than i use i saw this device directly jump to 87% to 75%

  • Full view screen would be a good choice from now.Malaysia hot sales this model with lucky draw@Mercedes benz and more!!!

  • punch hole and the notch are both distracting and will be obsolete within 3-4 years motorized pop up is better because apps can't spy on you through front cam why downgrade a better solution where the camera is physically hidden when not used?

  • Instead of messy pop camera with motor driving it up n down etc, a simple dot in screen corner is good is great. It opens up space for bigger battery, dedicated memory slot.

  • Nice to see USB C. Redmi Note 7 has Led Notification placed neatly at the Bottom and does the job. How does one manage without 'Led Notification" on phone?

  • I bought this phone but the imei checker gives information about huawei y9 but not y9 prime. Is there anything wrong with my phone?

  • This phone doesn't have dual band wi-fi. Mean no 5GHz band. very sad. other than that just fine.

  • To prolong the life of your battery pack, keep these tips in mind for proper lithium-ion battery care.The lifespan of your lithium-ion battery should last between 300-500 charge and discharge cycles,(depending on the manufacturer) which usually amounts to 2-3 years.In short, if I want my battery to last longer, I shouldn’t charge it above 85%, and not let it discharge below 25% battery level. At this range, you receive the best balance of depth of discharge and runtime. If you stay in this zone, you can maximize your battery use and retain that healthy battery life for a much longer time.Li-ion batteries are designed to perform its best between 30 percent and 80 percent capacity so, once the battery hits lower than 30, feel free to charge your smartphone already. Likewise, once the charge hits 80 percent, you really don't need to wait for your phone to reach 100 percent anymore. (you can check this in battery- power consumption details- battery usage- and you will see how this cycle does not count here.) Think of you battery as the human body throughout the day. You don't really need to wait like you're about to die to take some rest and recharge yourself and you also don't need a perfect eight or nine hour sleep to be able to function at full capacity.

  • 9.0.1.155 vs 9.0.1.184 which software is better for y9 prime??

  • the y9 prime and 8x both have kirin 710 but in the y9 prime is kirin 710f what is the difference🤔

  • thanks very much for detailed explaination ❤️

  • I have used the A20 A30 A50 A70 Honor 8x The 710 Kirin processor in this is VASTLY improved from previous models which had it. It expands to 256 GB. I have 268 Apps and more than 3000 photos and still have 223 GBs left. I use the phone HEAVILY. Doing 8-10 things simulatenously on this phone has had NO lag whatsoever. I have 15 pages full of widgets and my MBPS download speed is 15-25 MBPS and 3-7 MBPS upload speed. It is a bit heavier than most phones. But for nearly 6.6 inches with the ability to fill the whole screen. You can't beat it for $205 USD. The fact that I've used this phone HEAVILY since it launched in Pakistan roughly 1 month ago and has shown no signs of lagging whatsoever and it gets me a full 8 hours with HEAVYYYYYY use. It may not support fast charging but if you turn the phone off and let it charge. In 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 min, you will be good. I don't personally take a lot of photos besides screenshots but the ultrawide ability on the front camera is awesome for capturing huge photos without having to take it, then rotate it out of portrait mode to horizontal. I recommend this phone highly as I have worked in this industry for 11+ years

  • Also, best Huawei device depends on which country you live in. Because they make dozens of nearly similar devices and then price them differently. To top it off, one device might be cheaper than the other in one country but in another country, it would be completely opposite.

  • Among the ones you mentioned: Huawei P30 Lite > Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 > Honor 8X P30 Lite has best camera & offers NFC but its battery is a bit smaller. Y9 Prime 2019 offers decent camera, no NFC but it's battery is bigger. 8X doesn't stand out in anyway. It offers big battery and NFC. *NFC availability depends on which country you're buying it from. The performance is similar in all three. Alternatives: There is a cheaper phone that also offers decent camera & performance, big battery and display. It also offers Infrared Port so your parents can use it to control TV, AC and stuff. It's Redmi Note 6 Pro. Its chipset isn't strong enough to handle PUBG on HD graphics but it can handle it on Smooth and High fps. Though your parents probably aren't into PUBG so it should be fine. In this price range, best device to buy is Realme 3 Pro. I can't stress enough how much better its camera is with amazing 4K video recording quality. The performance is also much superior than the devices you mentioned, though the battery is average/similar. There are also Nokia 8.1 and Nokia 7 Plus. Both of these them have great cameras and more powerful chipsets as well with good battery timing.

  • Then you should go for HUAWEI Y9 Prime (2019). Because the phone has EMUI 9.0 and Android 9 and I strongly believe HUAWEI has enhanced the processor - Kirin 710F.

  • is the problem with the y9 prime the front camera and lower RAM or is there something else

  • i don't have those mobiles in the country iam certainly at

  • Blindly you can buy 8X if u need urgently. Watch Y9 Prime review before you buy. If you can wait, blindly for 9x Pro

  • i need it next week

  • Realme x Vivo v15 pro

  • I bought two unit already,all function well good!Go go go...

  • If you are not in a hurry, better wait for the upcoming HONOR 9X.

  • It is dedicated slot

  • i want to buy 2 mobiles for my parents i need to choose from those 1- huawei p30 lite 2- honor 8x 3- huawei y9 prime all they care in mobiles is big screen , good battery life and loud voice with 2 sims can you help me?? and if there are any better mobile mention it thanx

  • it has dedicated dual sim or hybrid sim slot?

  • Then you should wait for the HONOR 9X with a 7nm Kirin 810 processor.

  • That did not help at all!

  • A massive phone with huge screen, excellent performance and good cameras...for only 230 euros. Selfie pop up is the cherry on the cake. With Samsung for that price you get only A30, what a joke...

  • Great mid range phone by all standards. The battery life on this phone is just super excellent! I never carry a charger to work. From gaming to media consumption, this should be your phone of choice. It takes solid portraits as well. I've had it for 3 weeks and there's nothing to complain about. Good value for money! Thanks Huawei.

  • I'm agree with this friend. A50 not have 15w adapter for fast charging. Many user have problem with batteries. In wich benchmarks a50 is highly or greater of y9. Also finger print has peoblem. A plastic phone with nothing just super amoled display. Y9 prime2019 also not good. I didn't read it had fast charger. It's so heavy. I think y9 2019 is better.

  • Its limited to 10w power charging protocole. I checked 18w power adapter with testing meter but it remains 10w.

  • U better not

  • I faced downloading issue few hours ago. Then I forced stopped Play store from the app setting. It worked fine.

  • Anyone faced downloading issue over wifi when downloading from playstore?

  • Does anyone have downloading issue in y9 prime 2019, from palystore apps?

  • may i know what's the charging rate ? 18w ? 20w?

  • Not worth it at all. The only upgrade in camera is in main camera and that too is in only ultra wide camera. The selfie camera is actually a downgrade, since Y9 2019 selfie camera has a depth sensor. Basically, they exchanged better selfies for ultra wide camera for main camera and gave you a pop up selfie camera to make it seem fancy.

  • In sri lanka huawei y9 prime RS 41500 Galaxy a50 RS 43000 ???

  • no

  • it is selling like hot cakes in Pakistan

  • The only thing that I can guarantee is the RAM management of this HUAWEI Y9 Prime (2019) and all HUAWEI and HONOR phones are better than SAMSUNG Galaxy phones.

  • The Y9 prime, does it have a Q1 wireless charge?

  • You forget to say that A50 is nearly 100 dollars more expensive than Y9 Prime (at least here in Bangkok), which is a real bargain for a great quality phone with pop up selfie and 128 GB

  • U see the 'COMPARE' wording above this column? Click on it, then select up to 3 phones to compare side by side. U can search for those u wan to compare by keywords. Then for me, i do 'difference' comparison so i can see the main difference between each phone and make decision. However, main most impt thing i feel for a buyer/user shld consider using the phone for long time (approx 2.5 years is ideal max up to 4 years) and how long the battery can last with all the heavy usage (from start of day to end shld have at least 30% remaining for emergency usage) and a minimum of at least 4Gb ram. Camera/selfie use wise, anything >20MP yields a decent picture. Any other is just excess and u are paying more than necessary.

  • So how do you compare the selfie cameras of y9 2019, y9 prime 2019 and any of the Galaxy A70 or A50 series please, anyone?

  • *Samsung galaxy a50 - selling points In display fingerprint (main point ) because this is not a midrange feature in that period ... Amoled U notch display Best midrange chipset Triple camera price *Huawei y9 prime 2019 Pop up selfie camera Notch less display Triple camera I think Samsung doing something more..

  • A50's gpu is not better

  • Thanks for the information.

  • 15w fast charging support ??

  • Nop Huawei has 4x2.2 cortex a73 meanwhile A50 has 4x2.3 cortex a73... And A50s gpu is better than Huawei's gpu So performance wise A50👍🏻👌&#­127995;👌🏻

  • No fast charging...strange

  • Yes got this phone yesterday. It's nearly perfect set in that price range

  • Thinking of switching from the a50 to this . Is this phone better?

  • Yeah same CPU tough GPU is not on par, tough I heard the Kirin chips drain battery slower than the Samsung ones...

  • I guess you mean the Y9 not the Y9 Prime because the phone just started being delivered yesterday by Huawei itself. You should take it to a Huawei, the phone comes with a 1 year waranty

  • is this MHL supported?

  • Hi everyone, this question goes to those who have used both the standard Y9 2019 and also this new y9 prime 2019. With all honesty, can anyone here convince me to upgrade feom the Y9 2019 to this new Y9 PRIME 2019 in terms of front SELFIE CAMERA comparisons? I know they have many features in common and so how do the cameras compare, please, anyone? 🙏

  • i have had this phone for 2 weeks and and already the display is no longer working. super frustrated

  • I am keen to purchase this device but to be honest this device isn't better than a50 in many aspects like ram management, camera, display, weight, dimensions. Yes in Pakistan price of a50 is much higher than y9 prime.

  • I think this phone is better than the galaxy A50 especially based on its chipset...? I stand to be corrected

  • Is there a notification light on Y9 prime?

  • Can't find any problem with that phone, excellent mid ranger, even if the pop up selfie camera is just a gimmick. Let's wait to see what the honor 9X will bring to the table.

  • Just zoom out from 1x to 0.6x. The third lens has wide angle purposes.

  • Being slow on pop us is okay because of safety purposes

  • Haha

  • Infact, it's 4g lite should support band 28 (700) for Nigeria globacom Telecom . Thanks

  • i like Huawei but please release a new phone in 4 inch or 4.5'' size i like small phones i request u . thnkx

  • NO face unlock in this phone. Because it would be too cumbersome with the pop up selfie camera. Although Oppo F11 Pro has it...But fingerprint ID is fast and good, so this is not a problem. I am more concerned by the US ban which has been only partially lifted and can be fully imposed again any day (with no more Android and PlayStore). Trump is so unpredictible... .

  • yes it does, 2.4 and 5 ghz

  • Yes you are correct but still things are hot. Huawei has registered "harmony" as an alternative to android. Hundreds of US layoffs. huawei is planning to bring R&D offices back to China and many more. Although ban has been lifted but uncertainty persists.

  • OK. Actually I wasn't asking y9 prime loudspeaker quality for movie or songs but I m more interested the quality and loudness while talking on phone to some one. Either via mobile network or on social media( like voice chat on whatsapp.).

  • Dear friend In first review about 6 months ago in this site first section that wrote about a50 speakers. It's loudness good but quality is awful.

  • Is this support dual band wifi

  • It is not available in this phone

  • The face unlock feature is not available because the motorized pop up camera is slow....so it won't be convenient to use it...but you can use the fingerprint scanner (recommended) because it is fast & secure

  • Huawei ban has already been lifted just to let you know

  • i would like to confirm how can we use third camera because there is no option showing for using purpose

  • In this item huawei have 3 cameras, but how can we use the third one as far as i know only 2cameras is functioning. The 2nd and 3rd camera, how about the first one how can we use it.? We are tryibg to find ways how but still not been solved the problem until now.

  • It seems that I cant find the face unlock option any ideas on how to access it or how to secretly activate it?

  • It is a great phone for small money, but will not be a success with the current US ban. In my country people have stopped buying Huawei phone...good for Oppo and Samsung.

  • Please what is the fact now? Some say it support face unlock, others too say it doesn't.

  • there is no 5ghz wifi and no dual band for this model.

  • Camara quality is very bad while compare with Huawei y9 2019. Y9 camera is better

  • My huawei y9 prime cant detect 5ghz of wifi.? According to gsmarena this is dualband..

  • Yes

  • It's amazing... With 2 sims. Good

  • Screen on time 10+ hours so far. Can go upto 12-13 hrs I guess on web and videos

  • Does Y9 prime have portrait for both the front and back camera

  • What's battery time (screen on time) with 2 sims. Please share experience.

  • A50 speaker is much better than Y9 Prime speaker, which has low volume and tiny sound. But the rest is ok.

  • My opinion is the contrary...speaker of A50 is good and loud, but Y9 Prime is tiny and not very loud...i tried with the same songs i downloaded on both phone.

  • You're the reason we can't have nice things.

  • It was banned, but now its baaacckkk! I mean it's no longer banned

  • does it have wireless charging ?

  • Thanks. Does this mobile own night mode for both cameras? Quality of mic while listening from ear piece and from loudsp. Is it upgradable to next android version. Actually I had many questions in mind but are scattered and trying to compile.

  • Is truly guys untell now huawei banned?

  • Yes honor 8x is a really good phone. But if somebody wants a notch less screen then y9 prime is really worth it

  • I bought A50 but sold it very next day because it's loud speaker was very bad and ear piece was also not good. Just got my Y9 Prime 2019 and it's a solid mobile. Good loudspeaker good camera great battery no lag super smooth and bigger screen than A50. Go for y9 prime

  • I m stuck between Samsung a50 and y9 prime. Please guide about y9 prime's quality regarding ear piece, speaker, camera, WiFi and 4g signals, call quality.

  • Mi9t is the best

  • You are all misinformed. Huawei is still banned. Trump said he may ease the ban but until now huawei is still on the list of banned companies.

  • Oh ho. You are a little bit late my dear friend

  • bro huawei y9 prime 2019 is best

  • The ban has been lifted according to recent updates

  • Honor 8x better than all these mobile.

  • When I am talking to someone on phone, screen is not turning to black. Because my ear is touching the screen, all settings are changing during talk. Phone doesn't recognize that face is close to screen during talk.

  • For me Y9 Prime is the best cheap phone with big screen at the moment...but the US ban is a problem for its future usage and resell value...who knows what will happen.

  • Huawei p30 lite? Y9 prime? Or Samsung a30? Which one you'd recommend?

  • For those people who wants face unlock, you gotta think about this phone's capabilities about having a pop up camera this slow to rise. It's good enough that this has the rear fingerprint scanner, which is 10x faster than today's in-screen FP scan. These things are for privacy protection, not for show. Love this phone btw, I'll buy this tomorrow.

  • Much improved from Y9 2019 like back cameras, screen size, USB-C, processor, 128 GB memory, more RAM, ...etc. For the same price. Selfie camera seems to be the same as Y9 and is pretty good, but is a bit slow to pop up and down. Speaker is good and very loud. Very good midrange phone with great looks.

  • Hisilicon Kirin 710F! What is mean by F here?

  • I buy it yesterday its so smoothy phone and the pop up camera was great but theres tow somthing not good in this phone 1-no face unlock 2-not charging fast And for who asked about gorrila glass for now you can use the honor 8x gorrila glass its supported Theres three color for this phone Black, green, blue The green one i have it 😁

  • I did not tried the phone, but from the specs it looks like it is the same camera for selfie 16Mp f/2.0 from Y9 2019...

  • Can you tell the difference in camera quality as a user of both phones? I use y9 2019 and would want to upgrade because of selfie camera. How good is the selfie camera quality of the y9 Prime 2019 compared to the standard Y9 2019?

  • oh so prefer something as fragile as glass lmaoooo smh

  • 7990 bahts or 230 euros in Bangkok for 128 GB. Big phone with huge screen and pop up selfie camera for small money...love Huawei, my Y9 2019 was great too.

  • no gorrila glass protected for -Huawei Y9 Prime (2019) - if that's important to you then look for - Honor 8X, gorrila glass 3

  • back and sides is plastic.

  • i want to know that what type of gorrila glass support on front and back plz ans me

  • No face unlock

  • I think they did mistake in specifications because there is no valid information of Kirin 710F

  • Yes ! It support Face Unlock!

  • What`s the LCD protected with gorilla glass which type front & Back also would like to confirm does it supports face unlock option ?

  • Fast charging?

  • Well it's good you asked They both have their strengths and weaknesses so in short it's up to you to decide which of them can give you the most features you want. If you like faster speed, performance, response and a stronger battery, then y9 Prime should be your choice. But you should compare their cameras too, before you decide.

  • Can anyone answer my questions? 1. Is motorised selfie cam actually good or is it just a marketing tactic? 2. What's good about Kirin 710F and how does it compare with SD 710? 3. How good is its battery timing and charging time? 4. Does its main camera capture good details or is triple camera another marketing tactic? 5. Can this phone record videos higher than 1080p or that's really the limit? 6. It costs same as Realme 3 Pro in my country which has extremely good camera and everything. Does this phone have anything better to offer than that phone?

  • You're most welcome.

  • Dose it has notification light

  • What the difference between kirin 710 nd 710f?

  • Does it have glass on front and back? Also does it have aluminium frame?

  • Thank s for sharing

  • "One who brings trump in a discussion automatically ends it." -Everyone

  • I am using this smartphone since almost 3 weeks now. 5/5 from all perspectives (screen size, pop-up selfie cam, hardware/software performance, primary cam with ai capabilities etc...) The latest Android 9.0 security patches were deployed like 2 days ago:) (automatically). Don't hesitate to go Y9 Prime

  • OneUI runs smooth even on low end hardware, you can change the icons using a theme pack from the Galaxy Store. Also, Huawei EMUI is very iOS like, limited with less features. so no, i would recomend the A50.

  • am confused, what's the difference between these SoCs, the Hisilicon kirin 710 and the kirin 710F? what does that symbol "F" mean? again looking at the pictures I think this smartphone has a a bigger screen percentage than you Gsmarena are claiming, 84.__ _ % and the p30 lite has that same screen percentage and it has a notch (tear d drop) , so for y9 prime, I think it something close t I 90%

  • If you love amoled display & google os than buy a50. If you don’t bother amoled & google os than Y9 prime will be a cheaper alternative.

  • Doesn't affect these phones anyhow, plus it will blow over knowing trump!!!!!!!!!

  • Ive heard the one ui is very laggy ! and those icons yuk!!!!!!!!!! Go hauwie

  • Stuck between a50 abd y9 prime help please

  • I don't really need a phone I just bought a P30 and the phone is excellent... I live Huawei mobile so am going to buy that phone only because am getting gifts that cost nearly 75% of the price of the phone so am nearly getting that phone for free.

  • I think the best explanation for that is that people nowadays need phones for gaming and streaming purposes. So, I guess, we need bigger screen for that.

  • Excellent comment about phone sizes , why are they going bigger 5" is big enough for ur pocket, please Huawei do something

  • This phone has a pop-up selfie cam. Looks exactly as p smart z

  • See you when the new software is proved to be faster. Google itself don't want huawei to do that move bec if it did so all Chinese phone makers will switch to this software and Google will lose almost 40% of its profits. So I wish huawei does so, so usa will be forced to go back on its ban.

  • Lol people still thinks to buy huawei phones get it and loose your phone without support like lumia phones best of luck. Even huawei is focusing on their new chinese os hueng meng os.

  • Ted,The main camera is 16mp and it has a mid range 710 kirin cpu,so 220 euro sounds about right.

  • Why phone size getting bigger since using full screen size at the same time? Big phone is not convenience at all.

  • it looks like my google pixel phone.

  • Is it an Android phone and how is the band going to affect this phone

  • 3 back cameras, motorised selfie camera, 710F chip, Usb C, ...etc. Looks great. 220 euros seem underestimated, more like 300 euros.

  • damn looks good

  • what are the differences between kirin 710 and this kirin 710F ?

  • Looks awesome

  • also lenovo 157mm tall & this 164mm tall too long

  • another kirin 710!!!!! better to buy lenovo z6 youth SD710 +4050Mah 175$ without motorized selfie cam
