The newest addition to Huawei’s Y Series, the Y7p is officially here. The entry-level smartphone boasts of specs like a 48MP triple camera set-up (which is also the same camera set-up as the Nova 5T), 6.39″ punch view display, and 4,000 mAh of battery life.

The rear camera setup includes a 48MP Main Camera, an 8MP 120-degree Ultra Wide-Angle Camera, and a 2MP Depth Camera. While up front, the punch hole display holds a 8MP front camera.

It has a screen-to-body ratio of 90% and the 19.5:9 display supports a HD+ resolution of 1560 x 720 for displaying fine detail with vivid clarity. Inside, it is powered by the same Kirin 710F that can be found in its sibling, the Y9s. This is paired with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM that is expandable up to 512 GB.

Out of the box, it runs on EMUI 9.1, based on Android 9 Pie but there’s no Google Play Services here. Instead, you get access to Huawei’s apps and the Huawei App Gallery for third-party apps. I won’t be going in depth about the pros and cons here but let me just put it out there that Apple kind of did the same and developed their own apps along the way. It’s yet to be seen how the public will receive this but here’s what we know so far: Huawei assures us that they are continually improving the content of their app store. You can still find your favorite gaming apps like Mobile Legends, Candy Crush Saga, PUBG, and more here. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, as well as entertainment and productivity apps like Spotify, Microsoft Office, TikTok are also available.

The Y7p retails at P9,990 and is now available for pre-order on Lazada and Shopee until February 27 It comes in two holographic back covers: Midnight Black and Aurora Blue. Pre-orders comes with a free Bluetooth speaker, 50GB Huawei Cloud Storage for 2 months, 500 Huawei Points, and a P1,000 FreeBuds 3 voucher.
