The mid-range smartphone segment is getting competitive day by day. With the launch of new phones every week or so, the Nepali buyers are getting to choose from quite a lot of devices right now. Targeting these potential buyers, Huawei has just slashed the price of two of its popular mid-range devices – the Huawei Y9 2019 and the Huawei Nova 3i.

Huawei Y9 2019

The Huawei Y9 2019 is a mid-range device from 2019. It is a tall phone measuring 6.5-inch and comes with a full HD resolution. The device is powered by the company’s own HiSilicon Kirin 710 chipset which is aided by 4 GB of RAM. It runs on Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box with EMUI 8.2 on top as a skin.

The major talking points of the device is its camera setup and battery. There are four cameras on the Huawei Y9 2019 – two on the front and two on the back. On our test, the photos from these lenses are sharp, have details, but the colors are bit too punchy. The secondary lenses on both sides work to apply depth effect on the subjects.

There is a 4,000 mAh battery inside the Huawei Y9 2019 which is a good feature for the power hungry users. On a full charge, the phone can last for a day and a half depending on your usage. However, there is a lack of fast charging support on the phone which is why it takes 2 hours and 30 minutes to fully charge.

The Huawei Y9 2019 was available for Rs. 34,900 during its time of launch. With its second price drop, the phone is now available for Rs. 29,990, which brings it to the territory of the Redmi Note 7, the Realme 2 Pro, the Honor 8X and the Samsung Galaxy A30.

Huawei Nova 3i

The Huawei Nova 3i has also received its second price drop after its initial launch. The phone is one of our picks in the list of the best phones under Rs. 40,000, and its new price makes it a lot more interesting.

The Huawei Nova 3i is a capable midranger with the Kirin 710 chipset and 4 GB RAM at helm. It is a lag-free device and applications run smoothly on the phone. Huawei has offered 128 GB of internal memory on the Nova 3i which is expandable via a microSD card slot.

The Huawei Nova 3i has a glass back with a design that looks a lot like the P20 Pro. It has a 6.3-inch display with a notch housing dual selfie cameras. There are dual rear cameras too, with the secondary lens acting like a depth sensor just like on the Y9 2019. These lenses produce good results in day light but the night light samples are below average.

In terms of battery life, the 3,340 mAh battery lasts for a day under normal usage. It has no fast charging technology and there is no USB-C connectivity as well. With the price drop, the Huawei Nova 3i’s new pricing is Rs. 32,990.
