Huawei Y7 Prime

Huawei Y7 Prime is the premium brands weapon to capture the low mid-range market. Priced at Rs. 14,990, the phone may not look great, and neither does it have enough hardware to surprise you. Huawei Y7 Prime comes with a dated processor and poor design. While it does have a good battery and display, all of them are starkly dated. It is not a recommended phone.

The Huawei y7 prime arrives in only a single variant which includes, 3GB RAM + 32GB internal storage model. The phone has been discontinued by Huawei and is out of stock right now on both Amazon and Flipkart.  The smartphone also supports up to 512 GB MicroSD card.

Huawei Prime Y7 has gone for a FullView dialogue with a long 18:9 aspect ratio. The screen is at 5.99-inch but has a disappointing 1440 x 720. However, it is quite pleasant, and the colours outdoors are bright and accurate. The colour is quite vibrant and warm, and you also have the option of fine-tuning the warmth as you please. Viewing angles are quite decent as well. However, the display cuts down on sharpness.

The Huawei Y7 Prime gets its power from the dated Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset with 3GB RAM. It could be found in G6 Play and Honor 7A. It receives a poor multi-core score of 2868 which is quite weak, and it even falls behind Honor 9 Lite’s low-end Kirin 659’s 3644. The home screen is a bit jittery, and the fingerprint scanner works slow for this reason. Web browsing speed is about reasonable but app-switching stutters a lot. Gaming performance is quite good with 3D games like PUBG running quite well in low settings.

Huawei has often opted to boost its camera setting to make it the best. Huawei Y7 Prime comes with a dual camera module of 13MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor. The portrait mode if this phone is quite good, making the subjects pop out and keeping the background blurred. However, it is sometimes poor with its poor edge detection. The Wide Aperture mode also lets you change the bokeh as you like too. The background is not pin-sharp, though. Apart from that, the phone produces mediocre images which tend to become overexposed. It struggles with the dynamic range as well. In low-light, the photos become murky. The phone comes with an 8MP selfie camera. The beauty mode is rather aggressive and not recommended. On the other hand, in natural settings, the selfies are ok but not good in low-light conditions.

The Huawei Y7 Prime comes with a 3000mAh battery, which is quite decent. It is quite economical, as running a 50-minute video found it lose just 13% of its charge. Gaming for 15 minutes with half brightness saw it drop about 7%. It can keep chugging on for a whole day with light and moderate use. It does have not fast charging and so may take more than 2 hours to go from 0-100%.

The Huawei Y7 Prime is a reliable phone which is quite competitive in its budget setting. However, as an entry-level phone, it faces specific issues. The phone does not have a great performance since many budget phones have moved on to Snapdragon 600 series chipset. However, considering that the phone was released in 2018, it can be expected. The battery of the phone is capable, but the camera module does not perform well and produces poor images. Plus, the phone is similar to Honor 7A and Honor 9 Lite. Moto G6 Play is a phone that has more poise though.
