New OPPO Reno Colorway coming soon

OPPO is on a roll for their Reno smartphone and recently, OPPO has teased a new colorway for the OPPO Reno in their Facebook page and it’s the OPPO Reno Sunset Rose. The OPPO Reno smartphones were recently released in the Philipines and one of those smartphones is the OPPO Reno 10x that comes with an amazing camera that can zoom up to 60x.

There’s a lower variant too — the OPPO Reno that has lower specs but still decent enough as this one has an almost similar design and also a Snapdragon 710 inside which is capable enough for most games and applications. But of course, there’s the shark fin pop-up camera on this one too and we have a full-screen display.

We’re not sure yet when the OPPO Reno Sunset Rose Colorway will arrive in the Philippines but it will definitely arrive in the Philippines really soon.

The Legion gaming lineup of Lenovo is also the fastest-growing gaming notebook brand in the country and earlier this year, the company has also opened its first exclusive Legion Concept Store in SM City North EDSA but of course, one of the reasons of the rise of Legion notebooks is its good product lineup.

But of course you can also opt for the Intel Core i5 variant that is way cheaper at Php49,995.

But of course, the Ideapads and the Yoga ultrabooks are also refreshed. The good thing about Lenovo in these series is that all of their laptops comes in Ultrabook form. Yep, all of them.

The Yoga S940 comes with a sexy 12.2mm thin and only at 1.2kg and it’s also the world’s first laptop to have a contour glass that minimizes the appearance of its thin bezels but of course, the notebook comes at a price of Php115,995.

The pop-up selfie game in the mobile industry is getting bigger as Huawei has joined the group with their Huawei Y9 Prime 2019. The smartphone aims to go head to head with other mid-range smartphones that feature a pop-up camera and a full-screen display. So what can we expect from the Y9 Prime 2019? Well, we do have a Kirin 710F processor inside and also a triple lens camera at the back.

Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 Specs

  • HiSilicon Kirin 710F Octa-Core Processor
  • 6.59-inch Full HD+ Full Screen Display
  • 4GB RAM
  • 128GB Internal storage expandable via MicroSD
  • 16MP f/1.8 + 8MP Ultra-wide + 2MP Depth sensor rear cameras, AI

Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 Hands-On and First Impressions

Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 is coming to the Philippines soon and we already got the units for hands-on and also the review of the smartphone. The Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 is really an interesting smartphone due to its features such as the full-screen display and also the pop-up camera of the smartphone. There’s a triple lens camera too with a 16MP main camera with 8MP ultra-wide angle camera and a 2MP depth sensor and the main feature of this smartphone — the 16MP auto pop-up selfie camera.

The Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 is a big smartphone. We got here a 6.59-inch Full HD Display with no notch which is really immersive when watching videos or just playing games. It’s actually a big advantage as the smartphone doesn’t have any notch or holes that block my view.

The smartphone also features a plastic build but it does look like glass from afar and then there’s the unique dividing line in the smartphone with a texture shimmering at the back just below the fingerprint scanner. It’s a cool look on the smartphone that adds beauty to it. Speaking of the back of the smartphone, the smartphone does pack a curved back which helps in the ergonomics and grip to the smartphone. However, I will still suggest that you use the included case in the box.

Thankfully, the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 is now utilizing a USB-C port which is getting common on smartphones these days. Unfortunately, the smartphone doesn’t support fast-charging so you’re stuck with the included 10W charger out of the box. But hey, at least there’s a headphone jack in the smartphone.

Yep, the smartphone might pack a fingerprint scanner at the back, however, the smartphone doesn’t have a face unlock. Maybe because Huawei wants you to lessen the use of its front-facing camera or because of the selfie camera is too slow to fully pop-up.

Again, the smartphone doesn’t pack a notch and it’s beautiful to look at just like other smartphones with no notch. The display of the smartphone is just fine and I have no qualms about it and I can freely use it outside under direct sunlight without problems at all.

The triple lens rear camera of the smartphone isn’t the best in its class however, I applaud that the smartphone does have a wide-angle lens. Most of my shots at well-lit conditions are okay. However, sometimes, the photos get blown out and it’s a little bit overexposed. Check out the shots that I took using the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019.

Overall, it’s nice to see that we have smartphones like this one, the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019. The full-screen display is a refreshing take from Huawei and it’s really immersive for watching videos and gaming. Yep, there’s a wide-angle lens on the smartphone which I like but I was not expecting a really great performance with it considering that this smartphone belongs in the Y-series.

As of this posting, the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 doesn’t have a full SRP yet but knowing Huawei, they’re doing a pretty good job in pricing their smartphones. Check out our unboxing and hands-on video of the smartphone below:

Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 Specs

  • HiSilicon Kirin 710F Octa-Core Processor
  • 6.59-inch Full HD+ Full Screen Display
  • 4GB RAM
