The camera is the highlight of the Y9 Prime 2019. The smartphone packs a 16+8+2 MP triple rear camera set-up and a 16MP front-facing camera.

The front-facing camera remains hidden inside the smartphone and pops up when you need to use it. The feature enables you to enjoy an awesome full screen experience.

The issue that often pops up with motorized cameras is durability. Like it’s cool to watch the camera rise and retract, but the question is always about the durability aspect of the retractable camera.

To answer such queries, the company advertises the camera as being able to withstand up to 12KG of pressure and the pop-up mechanism is guaranteed to handle up to 100,000+ ‘pop ups’.
