The Huawei Y5 2019 is a budget Android smartphone that launched late in May 2019.
The smartphone packs an entry-level technical profile with the highlight being on the its display and design concept.
The Y5 2019 has a suggested retail price of Ksh. 11,499. At that price point, if you are interested in the Huawei
That said, here is what the Huawei Y5 Prime 2019 has to offer.
Display
Display Size: 5.71 inches
Display Type: IPS LCD
Screen Resolution: 720 x 1520 pixels
Screen Resolution Density: 295 PPI
Screen Protection: None
The Y5 2019 packs a 5.71-inch IPS LCD display. The display is notched or as Huawei calls it, ‘Dewropped’.
The Huawei Y5 2019 offers a 720 x 1520 pixels resolution and a screen resolution density of 295 PPI. The display specs are pretty much at par with 2019 standards and just right for what you pay for it.
Design
Dimensions: 147.1 x 70.8 x 8.5 mm
Colors: Midnight Black, Modern Black, Sapphire Blue and Amber Brown.
The design is the other reason why Huawei wants you to buy Y5. The smartphone has this cool Faux Leather Finish, a fancy word for fake leather, that gives it a premium look and feel something that is often elusive on budget smartphones.
Performance
Network: 3G
Fingerprint: No
Operating System: Android 9.0 (Pie)
CPU: Quad-core 2.0 GHz
RAM: 2GB
Internal Memory: 16/32 GB
Micro SD: Yes, up to 512GB
A Quad-core 2.0 GHz CPU powers the Huawei Y5 2019. This is coupled with 2GB of RAM. The set-up is decent for a budget smartphone but might struggle to run graphic intensive applications and games.
The Y5 2019 runs Android 9.0 (Pie) out of the box. We expected this as it would have otherwise been a tech atrocity if it came with Android 8.1 Oreo.
The smartphone offers 16/32GB as internal storage for your files. You can choose to expand the storage through the micro-SD slot. The Huawei Y5 2019 supports memory cards of up to 512GB.
Camera
Back Camera: 13 MP
Front Camera: 5 MP
LED Flash: Yes
The Huawei Y5 2019 offers a 13MP camera for general photography and a 5MP camera for your selfies and WhatsApp Video calls.
Battery and Extras
Battery Capacity: Li-Ion 3020 mAh
A Li-Ion 3020 mAh keeps the lights on. The battery capacity is quite small especially when you compare it to the massive 4000 mAh battery on the Infinix Hot 7. I believe this is a weakest point of the Y5 2019.
