Many of you might not know that these two smartphones are different, but they are. The Huawei Y9 2019 was released in the Kenyan market in October 2018, as much as it is named 2019, while the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 was announced just recently and is still up for pre-order till the 4th of July.
The key differences between these two models of the Y9 are the selfie camera which is the most evident. The Y9 2019 has a dual camera system on its notch, while the Y9 Prime 2019 has a pop-up selfie camera on its top. Both are midrange budget smartphones. The Y9 Prime 2019 comes with a USB type C charger unlike the Y9 2019.
The Huawei Y9 2019 only has 64GB of internal storage as standard. The Y9 Prime 2019 comes with either 64GB or 128GB of internal storage as standard. The Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 is also a little bit heavier than the Y9 2019 but that shouldn’t be much of an issue because both phones fit well on the palm.
