Huawei Y8s

Huawei has covered a lot of milestones in the last few years and is today considered one of the top flagship phone makers in the world. While the Chinese company does focus more on the upper end of the Android phone spectrum, a lot of that technological excellence trickles down to its budget and mid-range devices as well. The latest offering from Huawei in the budget price range is the Huawei Y8s. The smartphone sports a iPhone-esque notch on its 6.5-inch LCD panel. The screen offers a full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. The chipset within the phone is a Hisilicon Kirin 710 unit, and the phone packs 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard memory as well with a microSDXC slot for expandable memory. The new Y8s sports a dual camera setup on the back as well as the front. On the back you have a 48MP + 8MP combo while on the front there is an 8MP + 2MP pair of sensors. The battery has a capacity of 4000mAh which should suffice for a full day of use. Some of the popular Huawei mobile phones include the Huawei P40, the Huawei P40 Pro, and the Huawei P40 Plus.
