Huawei is going for the streak as they keep on releasing new smartphones, almost on a monthly basis. This time, we have the new Huawei Y7 Pro 2019.
This device comes out just days before the P Smart 2019 was introduced. The Huawei Y7 Pro 2019 sports the same color gradient design and a dewdrop notch on the front, much like what the former, and its other brothers have.
Basically, the latest Y7 Pro is just a more budget-friendly version of the P Smart. It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 octa-core processor, instead of the more robust Kirin 710 chipset. The 6.21-inch screen has also been downgraded to an HD+ resolution.
On the upside, it boasts a bigger 4,000mAh battery and has the same 16-megapixel front and 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel rear camera configuration.
Disappointingly, the Huawei Y7 Pro 2019 will only ship with Android 8.1 Oreo with EMUI 8.2 software. Hopefully, it gets updated with Huawei’s latest EMUI 9 with Android Pie in the near future.
The device also lacks a fingerprint scanner but makes up for it by having a face unlock feature.

Its pricing and availability here in the Philippines are yet to be known. But we expect to hear a word from Huawei’s local arm in the near future.
Full of bloatware as usual from Huawei, which is next to Samsung when it comes to loading their phones with bloatware.
Huawei Y7 Pro 2019 will internal memory of 32 GB which can be expanded up to 512 GB is amazing. It surely looks like a winner all the way.
