One of the greatest features of any Huawei device— be it a smartphone, tablet or laptop —is its AppGallery, which boasts a wealth of both global and localized apps to enrich the overall experience of the user. As the third largest app distributor in the world, the AppGallery is your gateway to millions of apps from social media, online gaming, shopping, banking, work, education and many more. Moreover, the AppGallery supports cross-platform interaction between different Huawei products in order to deliver an all-scenario experience exclusive to Huawei users.
What’s best about having access to a plethora of apps is the ability to be able to enjoy these apps on a quality smartphone such as the latest Y7a from Huawei. With a 48MP AI Quad Camera, 5000mAh battery capacity, 22.5W Supercharge, 6.67-inch FHD+ Big Screen and a 128GB storage + 4GB RAM, utilizing different kinds of apps will be smooth, reliable and enjoyable. Especially nowadays when most, if not all, of our daily productivity is done through our mobile devices, having a phone such as the Huawei Y7a partnered with the capabilities of the AppGallery will work wonders.
Camera Savvy
Given that one of the main features of the Y7a is its 48MP AI Quad Camera equipped with multiple sub-features such as its ultra-wide-angle, macro lens and night mode, the user will no doubt be using the camera extensively.
Camera 360
What comes with a lot of photo taking is a lot of photo editing. Camera360 is the photo editing app I enjoyed using as it includes various creative ways to make your photos come to life. When opening the app, you can either take a picture or upload a preexisting photo to be edited. From there, you can change the background filter to your liking, with a wide range of options such as cartoon or dreamlike skies, to name a few. You can also take high resolution selfies with over 300 filters, while even adding playful stickers or gifs. There are also multiple processing tools such as saturation, exposure, highlight and temperature, among others, to allow the user to edit the photo to their own liking. Whether changing your Facebook profile picture or uploading your dogs on your Instagram, you’ll have many ways of editing all your photos with the Camera360 app.
Viva Video for your video aesthetic
Of course, not only will the user enjoy taking photos with a great camera, but the taking of videos will be just as enjoyable and the quality just as nice. With the Viva Video app downloaded also from the AppGallery, there are multiple tools that allow you to edit your videos in many different ways. After taking a video or choosing one from your personal gallery, you can conveniently choose which display size to use depending on which platform you intend to upload it on, such as TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and many more. Aside from the usual video editing tools like trimming, changing of speed and background music, you can also choose from various themes to suit the occasion such as birthdays, holidays or travel, as well as adding different texts, stickers and effects. With the many videos that the user will be taking and the many places where you can upload these videos, video editing apps like these will definitely be a game changer.
Productivity partner
Aside from featuring an excellent camera, the Y7a is also versatile enough to fulfill educational or school-related matters. With the Microsoft Office app, all your files from all Microsoft applications such as Word, PowerPoint, and Excel are accessible and editable. Instead of having three separate apps for your documents, presentations and spreadsheets, all these files will conveniently be available on one, single app. Other key features would be the editing of a specific file by multiple users at once, as well as the easy transferring of files between nearby devices. With all your files favorably placed in one app along with the ability to work on these files, the Microsoft Office app will be such a great benefit and advantage when studying and/or working.
So, how exactly does one download apps from the AppGallery? Quite simply, all you need to do is to open the AppGallery which is pre-installed onto the device, and there you will immediately be presented with featured and popular apps. You can also browse through specific categories such as social media, gaming, news, entertainment, etc., or directly from the search toolbar. After finding your desired app, you can simply click on it and its details will appear. Lastly, clicking the “install” button would download said application which would then be accessible on your lock screen after installation is complete. With the many apps available on the AppGallery, it definitely won’t be hard to find the right app for you.
Petal Search
With the endless apps available on both the AppGallery and Petal Search Widget, here is an easy and simple step-by-step guide on how to download certain online learning tool apps that are essential for all students:
Canvas Student, where one can view course contents and grades, submit assessments and take quizzes, among others, is available through the Petal Search Widget. After clicking install and having completed the installation, the app should appear on your home screen, as is with all other downloaded apps. Once opening Canvas Student, you will be asked for your school name which you will input in the search bar that immediately appears. After searching for and selecting your school, you can now be able to use the app.
With Microsoft Teams, users will be able to work closely and efficiently with others in activities such as groupworks, meetings and discussions. The app is easily searchable and readily available on the AppGallery. After having been installed and opened, it will request you to log in to your Microsoft account either through your email, phone number or skype account before being able to utilize the app. If you have yet to make an account, you can easily select to sign up for free at the bottom of the log in screen.
The Quipper app available on the Petal Search Widget is where you can access lessons and assignments through the app, similar to Canvas Student. After finishing downloading, you can simply log in via your Facebook or Google accounts or opt to create a Quipper account before being allowed access.
Lastly for apps essential to any student, Zoom, the video call platform that everyone has grown accustomed to the past few months, is also readily available on the AppGallery. Before the app officially installs, it will ask you whether you want to download the Zoom Client for Meetings or the Controller for Zoom Rooms, and whether you would like it to be downloaded through Google Play or directly from Zoom. After selecting to download the Zoom Client for Meetings directly from Zoom and after having finished installation, you would then be able to either sign in to your Zoom account or join a meeting via the Meeting ID.
Aside from the aforementioned apps that are all downloadable via the AppGallery, other essential apps such as YouTube, Gmail and Google Drive are likewise available and easily used on the Y7a. Although the AppGallery boasts seemingly an infinite number of apps, there may still be certain apps that are unavailable. Fortunately, through the Petal Search Widget, users can still search and access apps that are otherwise unavailable on the AppGallery. With the purpose to bring convenience to its users, the Petal Search Widget is directly accessible from the home screen where you can search for news, images, videos and other information aside from just apps. From social media apps such as TikTok and Instagram, gaming apps such as Mobile Legends and PUBG, e-commerce apps such as Shopee and Lazada, to delivery apps such as FoodPanda and Grab, the Y7a user will have a world of apps at his or her fingertips, thanks to both the AppGallery and Petal Search Widget.
