48MP AI-powered Triple back camera

If you are looking for a good camera phone, you will be impressed by the camera setup of the Huawei Y8p.  This smartphone comes with a triple camera system at the back. The three cameras at the back work together to produce images that are Instagram worthy.  The other camera supporting the 48 megapixels primary camera include an 8 Megapixels ultra-wide shooter and 2 megapixels depth sensor.

Each of the three cameras has a role to play. As their names suggest, the 48MP captures sharp clear photos with high resolution, the ultra-wide camera helps you to capture more in one picture while the depth sensor helps you to isolate the object in focus from the background.  With this phone, you will always be able to record important moments in your life with clarity. In addition, this camera can record 1080 videos@30fps.

Huawei Y8p is equipped with a 16MP front-facing shooter. This camera is perfect for selfies and video calls. Huawei phones are loved by many because of their impressive cameras that perform better than cameras from other phone brands with the same specifications on paper. This selfie camera on this phone can record 1080p@30fps. If for some reason you are not going to buy this phone, it will not hurt to check Huawei Y6p or the Huawei Y5p.

Software and performance

Huawei Y8p runs on Android 10 with Huawei’s EMUI 10.1 UI on top. The UI introduces a new feature dubbed MeeTime. MeeTime creates a new way for the user to interact with friends and family.

This device is powered by Kirin 710F chipset and has 6GB of RAM. Internal storage space is 128GB and can be further expanded up to 256GB via a microSD card slot.  This should be good news to you if feel you will need more storage. Unfortunately, it could also be bad news when you learn the fact that you will have to sacrifice the use of the second SIM to be able to use a microSD card.  As stated earlier, it runs on Android 10 but does not come with Google Play services. You will have to get your apps from the Huawei AppGallery.

4000mAh battery to power it all-day

Samsung Galaxy M31 has been a top-selling phone in Kenya and in many markets around the world partly because of its 6000mAh battery. Well, the Huawei Y8p does not pack such a massive battery, but its 4000mAh will surprise you with its ability to power this phone for a long time.  This battery can power this smartphone for a whole day of moderate use and still leave you with some juice at the end of the day.

This phone is a good buy. However, if you love Huawei, but don’t want to buy a phone without Play Store, you should consider the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019. If you’ve got deeper pockets, you should check out the Huawei Nova 5T.
