Leading Camera System: 48MP TRIPLE AI CAMERA

Huawei’s powerful AI algorithms offer intelligent features including 3D Portrait Lighting, AI Beauty for portraits, AI Scene Recognition up to 22 scenarios and more than 500 scenes, as well as Handheld Night mode that allows long exposures of up to six seconds to be taken. For low-light environments, the Handheld Night mode enables image stabilization to deliver high-quality night photography.

Upfront, the HUAWEI Y9s houses an Auto pop-up 16MP AI Selfie Camera, that comes up smoothly from the top edge when the selfie mode is turned on. Packing powerful features and AI powered software, this front camera is able to create photos with better lighting thanks to the HDR Backlit selfie feature, while the AI scene recognition can recognize up to 8 scenes and optimize the settings required. Users can also enjoy studio-like effects with the 3D Portrait Lighting feature.

6.59-Inch Ultra FullView Display Unveils A Boundary-Free World

The device sports a 6.59-inch LCD display (2340x1080) that brings out the fine details and makes on-screen colours look more vibrant. Together with a micro-seam earpiece embedded into the top bezel and an ambient light sensor installed at the bottom, the front pop-up camera allows the display to have even thinner bezels while retaining the integrity of the display. Additionally, the HUAWEI Y9s has a high screen-to-body ratio with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9, maximizing the viewing area. When the screen is on, it offers a clear, clean and unobstructed view.

In addition, the HUAWEI Y9s cares for users’ eyes with an Eye Comfort Mode that provides a more comfortable reading experience. Additionally, the screen is certified by TÜV Rheinland to block out harmful blue light. With the help of Huawei’s sunlight display and video display enhancement technologies, the device can intelligently adjust screen brightness based on the ambient lighting to deliver comfortable viewing experience.

In addition, the 3D Arc designed middle frame create a natural and streamlined transition from the back panel to the front display while providing a more comfortable grip.

The HUAWEI Y9s also adopts a side-fingerprint design, which combines the power and fingerprint unlock button in one. This feature ensures the integrity of the front and back panels, allowing users to use one button for multiple purposes.
