2018 has been a busy year for giant Chinese OEM, Huawei. Despite the ban of its devices from the US and allied forces, Huawei hasn’t left its manufacture of smartphones to hit a downturn. One of the devices in its arsenal is the Huawei Y5 Prime (2018).
As the Y series focuses on budget users, the Y5 Prime (2018) also continues in that legacy. The camera department is intact as it sports 13MP rear shooter & a 5MP front-facing shooter. Other sections of the smartphone are quite decent too.
Without wasting time folks, let’s lock the place down as we step further.
Huawei Y5 Prime (2018) Quick Review
A careful perusal of Huawei mobile phones will make you draw one natural conclusion: There’s hardly any Huawei smartphone without a Blue-coloured variation. It’s Huawei thing, and the Y5 Prime (2018) joins the vast array of Huawei phones with Blue being one of its colourations. Its other colours are Black and Gold.
Huawei Y5 Prime (2018) is sleek & light-weighted thanks to its 8.3mm thickness and 142g weight. Its other dimensions are 146.5mm length & 70.9mm width. The 13MP camera is placed at the top left corner of the phone’s rear. A LED flash supports it to add illuminating effects. Meanwhile, the 5MP shooter is positioned at the top bezel for selfie photography. It also boasts of a LED flash.
Users can see movies, play games and more on the phone’s 5.45-inch LCD touchscreen. Added to its 18:9 aspect ratio, the display bags an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels. That’s pretty awesome to see movies with 720p resolution. Well, those are for movie lovers. Not that I’m one anyway (*hides face).
At the zone of power, a Quad-core 1.5GHz CPU and PowerVR GE8100 GPU are found on the MediaTek MT6739 chipset that coordinates the smartphone’s functions. This chipset tags along with a 2GB RAM to smoothen the performance of apps on the device.
You get as much as 3,020mAh battery to dictate the length of the smartphone’s running time. Android 8.1 Oreo, as well as EMUI 8.2, runs on the smartphone out of the box.
