Huawei has announced the 2018 version of the Huawei Y9. From the looks of it, the Huawei Y9 (2018) looks pretty much like the Nova 2i and the Nova 2 Lite.
The Huawei Y9 2018 sports the same FullView display with 18:9 aspect ratio in a 5.93-inch IPS panel with full HD+ or 1080×2160-pixel resolution.
The phone is powered by the same HiSilicon Kirin 659 but with a slightly conservative internals (3GB RAM and 32GB storage). It’s got Android 8.0 Oreo and a huge 4,000mAh battery too.
The dual camera system at the back is a pair of 16MP+2MP while the dual front-facing camera is 13MP+2PM, the 2MP cameras mainly doing depth-sensing.
