Following its successful launch, the Y9 Prime 2019 is now available in stores, adding up to the company’s lineup of very capable mid-range devices for the Philippine market. Earlier today, the company celebrated its first day of sale with a special event held at SM Megamall. Watch out for the brand’s next roadshows in SM Cebu, SM Marilao and SM Sta. Rosa.
Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 has a 6.59-inch TFT LCD display with FHD+ resolution, and houses a Kirin 710F octa-core CPU backed by 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, expandable with a microSD card.
