Not all new Huawei phones arrive without Google services. The Chinese company has a plan to maintain the applications and services of the American company: make slight renovations of its old models to take advantage of the Google Play Services certification. Therefore, it is likely that this new Huawei Y8s sounds familiar to you, and it is a slight renewal of the Huawei Y9 2019. We know it in detail.
How does Huawei keep Google services on this new model? What it does is update the right components that allow not to lose the certification of the device. In this way, the terminal can continue to use Google applications and services, since Huawei had previously certified it. The downside of this tactic is that some features are not renewed: it comes with Android 9 and EMUI 9.1, the same processor as last year and the same screen. Yes they can modify the configuration of the RAM and storage, or even include new modules in the camera.

The photographic section is one of the main novelties of this mobile. The Huawei Y8s has a dual 48 and 2 megapixel sensor. The double camera is maintained, but the main lens increases in resolution. The macro sensor is still 2 megapixels. Of course, the front lens, which is also dual, goes down to 8 megapixels, with the second 2 MP camera for depth of field.
Same processor, but slightly updated design
The Huawei Y8s maintains the Kirin 710 chipset, an eight-core processor focused on the mid-range. In this case, accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and an internal storage of 64 GB, which are expandable through micro SD. The battery is 4,000 mAh.
In the physical aspect we also see a slight change compared to the Huawei Y9. Especially in the rear . The camera module is exchanged for a more updated design: the dual sensor is now located in a rectangular module, next to the LED flash. The fingerprint reader is kept in the center of the back. As for the front, it remains the same: notch in the upper area with the double camera and minimal frames. The screen remains at 6.5 inches with a Full HD + resolution.
Price and availability of the Huawei Y8s
At the moment the price and availability of this Huawei Y8s are unknown. Of course, taking into account that it is a slight renewal, we do not expect a large price increase compared to Y9 of 2019, which is around 200 euros at the exchange rate. It is a very interesting device. Above all, because it offers some improvements over the previous generation. Of course, you have to take into account the processor: it is the same as last year, what will happen next year? It will not be such a good idea to continue launching devices with an old processor to maintain Google services.
