Huawei Y7 Prime Repaso

Huawei adunay daghang kusog nga mga produkto sa halos tanang sakop sa presyo sa 2017. Sila adunay ang Mate 10 ug Mate 10 Pro para sa mga flagships, ug Nova 2i para sa mid-range. Alang sa ubos nga lebel, sila adunay ang Huawei Y7 Prime. Kini ba usa ka lig-on nga adlaw-adlaw nga sakyanan ubos sa Php10K? Hibaloa sa among review.

Disenyo ug Pagtukod

Out of the box, the Huawei Y7 Prime looks like your typical Android smartphone. It has a 5.5-inch HD IPS display with curved glass dominating the front which is then bordered by the thick top and bottom bezels.

Sa ibabaw sa display naa ang earpiece, mga sensor, ug 8MP nga front camera. Sa ubos mao ang Huawei nga badge. Walay capacitive nga mga yawe kay ang device naggamit og on-screen navigation buttons.

Sa wala mao ang hybrid nga SIM tray, samtang sa tuo mao ang mga volume ug power/lock nga mga yawe.

Sa ibabaw naa ang 3.5mm audio port ug ikaduhang mikropono. Sa ubos naa ang micro USB port, ug duha ka mga lungag para sa pangunang mikropono (wala) ug speaker (tuo).

Flip it on its back and you will see the 12MP rear camera, LED flash, and the fingerprint scanner.

Sa mga kamot, ang Y7 Prime mobati nga lig-on sa mga kamot nga walay mga nagkakri nga bahin. Ang frame gihimo sa plastik apan ang likod nga plato metal. Bisan pa nga baga sa 8.35mm, komportable kini nga hawiran tungod sa kurbado nga mga kilid ug nagpadayon nga magaan bisan pa sa 4,000mAh nga baterya.

Display ug Multimedia

The Y7 Prime sports a 5.5-inch In-Cell display with HD resolution or equal to 267ppi. Mounted on top is 2.5D curved glass with a screen protector pre-installed.

Ang screen mura’g downgrade labi na kung ang imong mga mata nasanay na sa Full HD nga resolusyon ug labaw pa, apan dili kini dautan tan-awon ug igo na para sa mga batakang buluhaton. Sa positibo nga bahin, sakto ang mga kolor uban sa lapad nga viewing angles ug klaro kaayo kini gamiton sa gawas.

If you want to tweak the display, you can adjust the color temperature, font size, or activate Eye comfort mode to filter out blue light for reduced visual fatigue, especially at night.

As for the loudspeaker, it lacks bass, and the loudness could use some boost, but it's clear and crisp which is good enough for hands-free voice calls or casual listening to music or watching videos.

OS, UI, ug Apps

The Huawei Y7 Prime runs on Android 7.0 Nougat with EMUI 5.1. Like the Nova 2i, it uses multiple home screens by default, but the user has the option to use an app drawer. It employs 3D-like icons instead of flat ones, but they're still nice to look at.

Sa sulod sa mga setting, ang tiggamit makapahiangay sa kombinasyon sa mga navigation button, mapaaktibo ang Floating Dock, MirrorShare, ug mga kontrol sa galaw. Adunay usab kini kaugalingong Theme Store kung gusto nimo nga mapahiangay pa ang hitsura sa interface.

Ang mga pre-installed nga apps sama sa Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Booking.com, CNN, ug Flipboard anaa, nga puwede nimo i-uninstall kung dili nimo gamiton. Ang uban kay mga native nga apps sa Huawei ug Google.

Sa storage, ang Y7 Prime adunay 32GB nga onboard storage nga 24.60GB ang nabilin para sa tiggamit. Nagsuporta kini og microSD cards pinaagi sa SIM 2 slot, ug USB OTG.

Kamera

Sa larangan sa imaging, ang Y7 Prime naggamit ug 12MP sensor ingon nga iyang panguna nga kamera ug 8MP sensor para sa mga selfie. Ang mga feature naglakip sa Pro mode, HDR, Time-lapse, Slow-mo, Audio note, Document scan, Panorama, ug Beauty.

Ingon sa kadaghanan nga mga smartphone, maayo kini nga performance kung magkuha sa hayag nga kahimtang kay ang mga hulagway nga naproduce kay klaro ug tukma ang mga kolor. Ang kalidad mokunhod kung magkuha sulod sa balay kay dali kini maapektuhan sa kasaba, labi na ang front camera. Tan-awa ang mga sample sa ubos.

As for video recording, it maxes out at Full HD resolution at 30fps. Quality is also good, but the phone doesn't have image stabilization, so videos can be shaky if you're not holding it still.

Performance and Benchmarks

Powering the Y7 Prime is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 octa-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz, Adreno 505 GPU, and 3GB of RAM. This is the same configuration that is powering the Xiaomi Redmi 4X and LG Q6. It's not as snappy as flagship hardware, but its capable of handling basic tasks including multitasking and gaming. We played Honkai Impact 3 and Mobile Legends in their highest settings, and it ran without lagging or crashing. Check out the benchmark scores below.

AnTuTu - 43,629
3D Mark - 343 (Sling Shote Extreme)
Geekbench - 647 (Single-Core), 2,627 (Multi-Core), 2,244 (RenderScript)
Vellamo - 1,278 (Multicore), 733 (Metal), 2,290 (Android WebView Browser)
AndroBench - 120.03 MB/s (Read), 64.25 MB/s (Write)

Connectivity and Call Quality

The Y7 Prime is equipped with Dual-SIM support, 4G LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, and Fingerprint sensor. While it has the basic connectivity features, it's sad to see that it doesn't have a Gyroscope.

Mobile data is relatively fast as long as we're connected to LTE, calls are loud and clear, while GPS is able to lock-in on our location using navigation apps like Google Maps and Waze.

Battery Life

The 4,000mAh battery is one of the main features of the Y7 Prime. With light to moderate usage, it can easily last almost two days. Throwing gaming into the mix, and we get up to a day and a half. You can extend its battery life by activating Power saving mode or Ultra.

Our video loop test, which includes playing a Full HD clip on loop in Airplane mode at 50% brightness and volume, yielded 14 hours and 37 minutes of playback, which is good. Charging, on the other hand, takes almost three hours, as it doesn't support fast charging.

Conclusion

The Huawei Y7 Prime is a solid daily driver with capable specs and a big battery. It's perfect for those who need a smartphone that can handle day-to-day tasks like heavy social media browsing, photography, and gaming without having to recharge every now and then. Compared to more powerful and more expensive devices, it's not going to wow users, but for Php9,990, it certainly gets the job done.

This is by far the best low end smartphone I’ve ever used in my life.
8.5 hours on gaming, almost 3 day battery life, excellent call quality, decent cameras, and lightning quick FPS, I can recommend this to everybody who wants a 2 day battery phone with decent specs. :)

Is this better than the LG Q6? Which shoukd I choose for my plan renewa?

Ran Hernandez · 9 years ago

Depends on your prference. Both are powered by 1.4 Ghz Snapdragon 435 with upload speed of 300 mbps and dowload speed of 150 mbps.

If you’re looking for a phone with better resolution you might want to go with LG Q6 since it has 442 ppi compared to Huawei Y7 Prime with 267 ppi, which, for me, could be considered the minimun requirement for an HD resolution. LG Q6 also has Gyro sensor for VR apps.

On the other hand, if you are like me who prefers longer battery life, you might want to go with Huawei Y7 Prime which has 4000 Mah. Battery tends to last for approximately 2 days with out playing games, or 1 – 1.5 playing games. If you’re a heavy player, battery could last for about 8 hours (based on my usage). Having lower resolution also mens longer battery life.

Very accurate review. I was skeptic with the brand before, I’ve been using my Huawei Y7 Prime for 3 weeks now, so far the unit is doing pretty good. Snapdragon 435 is not the fastest chipset, as it maybe considered somewhere in between a low end and a mid range chipset, but still packs a punch. It literally doubles the download and upload speed compared to Snapdragon 430.

Display and resolution is not bad, it gives crisp images, especially, under good light condition. Sensors are accurte. Although, gyro could have made it better.

Bottomline, Huawei Y7 Prime is a budget friendly smart phone that could easily compete with mid range smart phones.

Wow you still play Pokemon Go.

doesnt this overlap with the huawei gr5 and gr3 ?

I’ve had my Y7 Prime for over a week now, and it’s generally okay. Battery life is certainly satisfactory, and the interface is lag-free, especially when playing Pokemon Go. I have a few niggles though: it uses a hybrid slot, which means I only get to put it one SIM card and one memory card; it doesn’t have a front flash, which means I can’t make video calls in low-light; thr bundled earphones are notnof the in-ear design; and it doesn’t support automatic answer for incoming calls via Bluetooth headsets.
