Smartphone Huawei Y7 (2019)

Huawei continues to gain momentum in the global telecommunications market. Its leading positions are growing with each new model. The most popular for the company is created by budget smartphones, they are spreading with great speed and have positive user reviews. The new year has just begun, and Huawei has already made a knight's move and released a brand new smart Y7 (2019) with a large screen and excellent performance.

Smartphone design

At first glance, the new model Huawei Y7 (2019) has nothing special in its appearance. Everything is as usual for non-distinguished state employees. But this is still Huawei, which means that the smartphone is no longer ordinary. This company loves to add new chips every time, with which it stands out very positively from its competitors. This time the display size became such a feature - 6.26 inches with an aspect ratio of 19.5mm to 9mm. In terms of millimetric dimensions, it can be noted that the tradition of screen elongation, which was started last year, continues to exist in new models. This is the first message to imitate expensive models.

The phone case is made of durable and reliable tempered glass, the front bezel is metal. The front bezel is a large screen with fairly thin bezels. There is a rounded notch at the top of the display that houses the front camera. At the bottom of the front part of the case there is a traditional inscription with the manufacturer's name.

According to the tradition of Huawei: if the front of the smartphone is not attracted by anything outstanding, then the back panel, as before, remains the main carrier of color. Huawei Y7 is presented in two colors: Black, Aurora Green - as they are indicated in import sources. Domestic observers voiced other options: black remains black, but "aurora green" in some reviews has transformed into "aurora blue". Black classic - for the guardians of order and austerity in style. A mysterious aurora for those who like to stand out from the crowd and maintain their individuality even in the details of accessories.

The upper left corner of the panel is the rightful place for the dual main camera, depth sensor and flash.

In the center of the "back" there is a fingerprint scanner - another special feature for a representative of the budget price range.

The right edge of the case is where the standard on / off and volume buttons are located.

The microphone and USB port are located on the bottom edge of the smartphone, the top edge is the audio jack.

The manufacturer, as always, made the shape comfortable for the hand (158.9 / 76.9 / 8.1) and its weight (168 grams). The rounded corners make it possible to firmly fix the phone in the palm of your hand.

• Comfortable size and roundness;
• Lightweight;
• The presence of a fingerprint scanner;
• There are all the necessary functions.

• Manufacturing material;
• Narrow color choices.

Screen Huawei Y7 (2019)

The size ratio of the device and its display is undoubtedly pleasing to the eye. There is no difficulty in sight while using the phone. The resolution is quite satisfactory, there are no special complaints about the image. The picture does not have a clearly visible grain, the color saturation is harmoniously combined in any light, although direct sunlight does affect the impression.

If you are not a particularly picky user who looks for flaws, then this brainchild of Huawei can be considered the best representative of state employees.

• Screen size contributes to comfortable use;
• Harmonious ratio of diagonal and pixel resolution;
• Corner views are in line with expectations;
• Good color saturation.

• Lack of oleophobic coating;
• Effect of direct sunlight on image quality.

Characteristics of the mobile platform

Huawei has equipped its new product with a new "heart" - the processor eight-core Snapdragon 450 chipset, which has a number of significant advantages and turns an ordinary budget smartphone into a decent premium device, but at an affordable price.

Features of the mobile platform:

1. The capabilities of the battery have increased.

Thanks to the updated chipset, the battery life was extended by 4 hours. Now there is no danger that at the end of the working day you will have to urgently look for the possibility of recharging.

2. Enhanced photo quality.

High-quality processing of photo images in real time, improved bokeh effect, improved dynamic range of images. Autofocus almost instantly captures subjects and concentrates the center of focus on them.

3. Improved graphics and 3D games.

The chipset is bundled with an excellent Adreno 506 graphics processor, which is responsible for realistic 3D images and works wonders. This is the finest hour for gamers. The image quality in games has increased significantly and the 3D effect is no longer just words.

4. Surfing the net quickly and clearly.

The efficiency of the graphics editor has had a positive impact not only on the gaming ability of the smartphone, but also on the "swimming" in the Internet in general. There is no longer any need to wait for one tab to replace another or to open the desired page. With the Adreno 506, all this now happens by itself and in no way annoying. The platform update resulted in a 25% improvement in graphics and processor performance.

5. The download speed has increased.

Another important consequence of the use of this processor is accelerated Internet access (up to 300 Mbps and higher). Wi-Fi with MU-MIMO guarantees super fast video and photo file browsing.

• With the use of the new platform, the phone parameters have become much better in all respects;
• CPU and graphics performance increased by 25%;
• Battery autonomy has increased by 4 hours due to economical power consumption;
• Game performance of the model acquired new positive 3D outlines;
• The survey abilities of the smart win both in image quality and in the speed of “paging”;
• The quality of photographs and their processing have improved graphically.

• Due to the increased performance, the case is heated during operation.

Device memory capabilities

To accommodate the operating functionality of the operating system, 3 GB is allocated. One way or another, with active use of the phone and constant updating of downloaded applications and built-in platform databases, such a volume may seem insufficient, therefore it is recommended to monitor the amount of remaining memory.

The built-in memory capacity is 32 GB.The volume is quite modest, in case of its deficit there is the possibility of expanding by another 512 GB using flash memory (microSD).

• Up to 512 GB of internal memory expandable.

• The operating system memory is only 3 GB;
• Built-in memory - 32 GB.

Video and photo capabilities of Huawei Y7 (2019)

Already, based on the characteristics of the processor device, it is clear that the capabilities of photo and video images on a smartphone have surpassed their predecessors. This model is rightfully called a photosmartphone because of its ability to take high-quality photos and videos.

The main camera is traditionally dual, the unit is located on the back of the phone along with a depth sensor and LED flash. Dual camera parameters - 13 Mp (f / 1.8, PDAF) and 2 Mp. Photos taken with a phone can easily compete in quality with those of a low-power professional camera. For the capabilities of a budget phone, this was practically impossible before, but now it is quite affordable. Using the Huawei Y7 (2019) cameras, the amateur photographer will be able to take high-quality pictures, just like professional ones. Real-time image processing is available.

HDR video quality: 1080p @ 30fps.

The front camera exceeded all expectations with its megapixel count. The 16 megapixel selfie camera in the budget model is just excellent performance and the quality of shooting is corresponding.

Autofocus works in a fraction of a second and makes it possible to capture even the smallest details.

• The phone has in stock three cameras with advantageous parameters: single selfie and dual main camera;
• Fast autofocus;
• Photo and video quality;
• Good LED flash of the main camera;
• Panoramic shooting mode;
• HDR mode for processing photos.

• Lack of flash with front camera.

Battery and battery life

The non-removable 4000 mAh Li-Ion battery is another huge plus of this smartphone. Thanks to the economical power consumption of the processor device, a full charge of the battery will be enough for active use throughout the whole working day. This is over 70 hours of continuous listening to music and more than 15 hours of watching videos. If you use your smartphone solely for communication and minimal surfing on the network, then the battery charge can last more than 48 hours. Such an indicator for the budget range is very pleasing and surprising.

• A capacious battery capable of long-term autonomous operation during the most active use;
• Good indicators of activity in the mode of audio listening and video views.

• Non-removable battery design;
• Lack of fast charging.

Huawei Y7 (2019), although it took its place in the company's budget line, but its parameters and characteristics have stepped far ahead and bypassed all competitors. As always, the manufacturer has taken care of the effect of surprising its consumers. Everything, from design to gaming and photography capabilities, suggests that this model is the ideal price-quality ratio for buyers when the quality is higher than the declared value. This pattern is quite rare in the telecommunications market. And, although the exact cost of the device has not yet been established, even those fluctuations between 150-180 EUR in Europe are quite acceptable for the declared capabilities of the smartphone.
