Huawei Y8p Overview
Apart from its Google Play services shortcoming, it is one of the best mid-range devices. Under display fingerprint scanner, extensive storage, and the OLED display you get with your budget is quite appreciable. The phone has an optical fingerprint sensor even in this budget with an OLED display and a 48MP camera.
Design and Build Quality
Huawei Y8p has a 6.3 inches OLED display with a screen resolution of 2400 x 1080 Pixels. It has an aspect ratio of 20:9. It is made from plastic, as expected, but feels likes a premium device. The display has a U-shaped notch housing a selfie camera. The phone’s display is an absolute stunner with rich contrast and accurate colors. The phone weighs 163 grams. It comes in two color variants: Midnight Black and Breathing crystal.
On the right side of the phone are a power button and the volume rocker, while on the left of the phone is a hybrid Nano-SIM tray. You can either use a dual Nano-SIM or a Nano-SIM and a Nano memory card. Likewise, on the bottom lies a speaker grille, USB Type-C port, and a microphone. On the top are an earphone jack and a noise-canceling microphone.
The rear camera lies vertically on the top-left corner of the phone.
Performance
Powering the phone is a 1.7GHz octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 710F processor featuring 4 cores clocking at 1.7GHz and 4 cores clocking at 2.2GHz. The phone packs 128GB of inbuilt storage, expandable up to 256GB via Nano memory card. Furthermore, RAM either 4GB or 6GB. The performance is smooth. Also, the under-display fingerprint scanner is fast but not the fastest.
