HUAWEI Teases Their First Ever Pop-up Camera Smartphone

The folks at HUAWEI Malaysia has uploaded a video teaser of a smartphone. What’s special about it? Well it is their first pop-up camera device and we should expect to see it soon to our market.

In the post, they wrote “Soaring, flYing & popping! Something new is rising. Get readY”. As you can see, the letter ‘Y’ is caps. This would mean that the teaser is about their new HUAWEI Y9 Prime (2019) smartphone.

The HUAWEI Y9 Prime (2019) features a Kirin 710 chipset and runs on EMUI 9, which is based on Android 9 Pie. Packing 4GB RAM, it seems that there are 64GB and 128GB storage options available. You can also expand the storage up to 1TB through a microSD.

In terms of camera, it sports a triple rear camera setup, with it having a 16MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and finally a 2MP depth sensor at the back. As for selfies, there’s the mentioned pop-up camera, which houses a 16MP shooter inside.

Powering it up is a 4000mAh battery which you can charge it through its USB Type-C port. The HUAWEI Y9 Prime (2019) comes in three color variants: Emerald Green, Midnight Black, and Sapphire Blue.

Pokdepinion: We’ll update more about the device as it makes its way to Malaysia. I’m just glad that it wasn’t the upcoming Mate 30. I’d rather not for it to have a pop-up camera..
