Equipped with an ultra-wide angle 48MP AI triple camera, the Huawei Y9s features a 6.59-inch HD FullView display and perfectly integrated front facing pop up camera for a boundary-free viewing experience.
The Huawei Y9s’ design is inspired by the concept of ‘time aesthetics’. The new smartphone is available in two styles; ‘Breathing Crystal’ and ‘Midnight Black.’
The device is equipped with a 48MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera and a 2MP depth camera.
Huawei’s powerful AI algorithms offer intelligent features including 3D Portrait Lighting, AI Beauty for portraits, AI Scene Recognition up to 22 scenarios and more than 500 scenes, as well as Handheld Night mode that allows long exposures of up to six seconds to be taken.
Upfront, the Huawei Y9s houses an Auto pop-up 16MP AI selfie camera, that comes up smoothly from the top edge when the selfie mode is turned on.
Packing powerful features and AI-powered software, this front camera is able to create photos with better lighting, thanks to the HDR Backlit selfie feature.

Together with a micro-seam earpiece embedded into the top bezel and an ambient light sensor installed at the bottom, the front pop-up camera allows the display to have even thinner bezels while retaining the integrity of the display. The high screen-to-body ratio with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9, maximises the viewing area.
