Huawei is releasing two new entry-level smartphones and their budget tablet, the Huawei Y6p, Y5p, and MatePad T8 in the Philippines.
The Huawei Y5p, on the other hand, sports a 5.45-inch TFT LCD with the same MediaTek Helio P22 chipset. For storage, the Y5p comes with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage expandable via MicroSD cards. Unlike the Y6p, the Huawei Y5p only comes with two cameras: an 8MP rear camera, and a 5MP selfie camera. It also ships with EMUI 10.1 with Huawei’s Mobile Services out of the box, powered by a 3,020mAh battery.
Lastly, the Huwaei MatePad T8 sports an 8-inch HD display, MediaTek’s MTK8768 chipset, with 2GB of RAM, and up to 32GB of storage. There are two cameras on the MatePad T8, a 5MP primary, and a 2MP front-facing camera. It runs on EMUI 10.0.1 based on Android 10 with HMS, and a 5,100mAh battery.
