The motorized pop-up camera has a resolution of 16 Megapixels and results in a notch-less FullView display. It automatically pops-up when taking a selfie and retracts when the camera app is closed.
Meanwhile, the triple rear camera array is composed of a 16 Megapixel main camera, 8 Megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 2 Megapixel depth sensor for bokeh effect. Of course, it has AI features for automatically enhancing images based on the scene.
The phone’s display is 6.59 inches with a Full HD+ resolution or 1080 x 2340 pixels.
A HiSilicon Kirin 710F chipset powers the device with a 2.2GHz octa-core CPU, Mali-G51 graphics processor and 4GB of RAM. There’s also 128GB of built-in storage, Android 9 Pie operating system, and EMUI 9 software out of the box.

The Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 has a large 4,000 mAh battery but the charging speed of the bundled charger is 5V/2A only. It uses a USB Type-C port though.
For security, the device has a fingerprint sensor at the back while Face Recognition is disabled perhaps to reduce strain on the pop-up mechanism.
