Huawei has announced a new mid-range smartphone in Thailand today. Dubbed as the Huawei Y9 (2018), it offers quad-camera setup and comes with the same Kirin 659 chipset. With every passing month, we’re losing the count on how many smartphones will Huawei release with the Kirin 659 SoC. Also, the phone boots Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box. Huawei did not reveal the pricing and availability details of the Huawei Y9 (2018) smartphone yet, but they are expected to come out very soon.

Huawei has three smartphones with Kirin 659 SoC in the Indian market, and the Y9 (2018) features specifications similar to the Honor 7X. And the design of the new phone is identical to the Honor 7X itself.

The newly announced device sports a 5.93-inch Full HD+ display on the front with a resolution of 1080 x 2160pixels. And as stated, it’s powered by the Kirin 659 chipset, coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. That’s pretty bad from Huawei as most of the phones releasing these days are arriving with at least 4GB of RAM.

The highlight of most of the Huawei smartphones releasing these days is the quad-camera setup. It remains the same with Y9 (2018) as well. The phone offers a 16MP primary camera at the back along with a 2MP depth camera, followed by a 13MP primary selfie and a 2MP front-facing shooter. Both the front and rear cameras offer a Portrait mode for depth shots.
