Design and Display

By default, entry level smartphone like the Huawei Y3 (2018) does not get much of the need to look stunning or to keep up with the latest trends. Sporting a 16:9 aspect ratio from the days of yore, the smartphone looks very much like a budget device a status that is emphasized by its plastic build.

Viewing on the smartphone is just on a downside like every of its peer with just a small sized display at that. Surrounded by quite obvious bezels, it is looks rather wide as opposed to the slender display seen in premium smartphones. Colours are not so vibrant because of the 854 x 480 pixels resolution.

Battery and Camera

Taking about battery power in low budget smartphones is not usually in the context of large as you mostly have what could just take you till the end of the day. Supplied power from a 2, 280mAh battery, the Huawei Y8 Prime (2018) charges through a MicroUSB port.

Taking pictures is left to an 8MP rear camera and a 2MP selfie shooter which does not offer much and can barely function in low light. However, it does take okay pictures in full light but don’t expect anything crisp at this price.
