In May 2020, Huawei introduced the public to a high-quality and modern smartphone, and most importantly, an inexpensive one. One of the innovations is the lack of built-in Google services. Y8P is equipped with Huawei services. We present a detailed review of the novelty of 2020.

Now the average price of a smartphone is from 16,990 rubles.
For a more complete understanding, let's take a closer look at the most important criteria when choosing a phone.
The back is covered with a glassy plastic coating in all the best traditions of the latest Huawei models.
In front, the front camera is placed in a small droplet, which is now popular among modern smartphones.
Along the perimeter of the phone itself, the sides are made of plastic. Due to the fact that the screen is made of an oleophobic coating, it does not leave fingerprints. In addition, the lid is not slippery at all, so you don’t have to frantically look for a cover so that the phone does not accidentally slip out of your hands.
As for the connectors, there is a USB Type-C port on the bottom end, and there is also an audio jack, which is rare for modern flagships. Unfortunately, there is no micro SD card slot.
In general, a decent and high-quality design, there is nothing superfluous. In addition to causing a lot of angry comments droplets on the front surface of the screen, which houses the front camera. But this is a subjective factor.
Buyers are waiting for a triple rear camera with 48 main megapixels with autofocus. The wide-angle camera has 8 megapixels with a small aperture of 1.8 without autofocus. The third camera is designed to blur the background for portrait shots.

Frontal | yes, 16 MP |

Headphone jack | 3.5mm |
Another major benefit is the smart camera, which refines shots during night shots with the suggested multi-frame exposure.
As for night shooting, the reviews are completely different. Someone is satisfied with the quality, someone, on the contrary, believes that the camera has some problems when shooting at night. However, for this price segment, this is an excellent result. Here is an example photo taken with Huawei Y8P:
However, in night mode, the wide-angle camera does not do its job at all, so it should only be used in good light. The front camera itself blurs the background without an additional depth sensor and takes photos with clear details of even small objects.
Quite a tolerable camera for such a price - it takes high-quality and juicy pictures, does not grain. The wide-angle camera, of course, is not quite finished, but if you want, you can indulge in it.
Of course, to begin with, it is necessary to say about the innovation of this model - the fingerprint scanner is now on the screen. The display itself does not look like its cost, because it is made of a 6.3-inch AMOLED matrix, the resolution of which is 2400 × 1080 pixels. This is a whole new level! In addition, the colors are all bright and saturated, which is not surprising for such a matrix.

Good screen. The Amoled matrix cannot but please, which puts the smartphone several steps higher than phones of the same average price category. The manufacturer said that the fingerprint scanner will only make life easier for the user, but as practice shows, nothing like that. Therefore, we attributed this to its minuses.
Battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh.You can actively use your smartphone throughout the day, and half the charge will remain exactly untouched. A very good result! After charging, the phone may well live for about a day and a half, which cannot but please.

Unfortunately, the device does not have fast charging, so it will take about 2.5 hours to fully charge the phone. But the battery is powerful and retains a charge for a long time even with the most active use.
All games are available on the phone. 3-D games are easy and without lags. The well-known PUBG Mobile runs at maximum graphics settings, it does not even slow down in battle. However, there are still some minor slowdowns in the interface, however, this does not happen for a long time. But, of course, you should not expect miracles, because this is an ordinary device without the flagship "revolutions".
You can play enough of any games, but you need to be prepared for the fact that in especially active games the interface starts to lag and freeze.
Please note that the package may vary. It all depends on where the device is purchased.
You can pre-order in various online stores. You can buy a new product from June 5, 2020.
The list of online stores that offer to purchase a smartphone at the lowest price (at the start of sales):
So, a new “gun” from the Chinese brand Huawei of the middle price category has appeared on the market, but the device has everything that the user needs to live in a modern and fast-paced rhythm. A smart smartphone that will run most games, but only at medium settings, and sometimes with settings below average (but PUBG plays even at maximum, but, of course, you can’t do without lags). The triple camera allows you to take high-quality photos, but the wide-angle camera did not please many with its capabilities (many do not understand what it is for). And besides, it can only be used in sufficient daylight, since in night mode it will rather disappoint the user than please with the quality of the photo. The new location of the fingerprint scanner should certainly surprise many - now it is built into the smartphone screen, which should make life easier for the owner of the phone (but this is only the manufacturer's assumption). In fact, according to reviews, it turned out that it was unusual and inconvenient. At the start of sales, the cost of the device is acceptable - 16,990 rubles, which only pleases the audience.
