Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. Even though we are still in 2018, the phone is indeed labeled as 2019 which is something the company needs to do anyway since the 2018 model was actually released back in March this year.
Aside from a new processor, the Y9 2019 also offers a much bigger display than its predecessor at 6.5-inch although its resolution remained at Full HD. The Malaysian unit is also equipped with 4GB RAM alongside internal storage of 64GB and supports up to 256GB microSD card. Photography-wise, the Y9 2019 is equipped with a combination of 16MP and 2MP sensors on its rear camera. There is also another dual camera setup on the front of the phone which consisted of 13MP and 2MP sensors.
Completing the phone’s general specifications is a huge 4000mAh battery. Available in Malaysia starting from 11 November onwards, the new Huawei Y9 2019 is priced at RM 899. However, consumers can actually purchase it for much lower on Huawei Malaysia’s Online Store by getting their hands on one of the Grow Your Shopping Money coupons that are specially made for the upcoming 11.11 shopping day. You can learn more about both the phone and the special 11.11 promo through the source links below. (Source: Huawei Malaysia – 1, 2)
