1. Elegant aluminum design
The Huawei Y7 has an elegant and sophisticated design. Its chassis is made of aluminum and its edges are slightly rounded. This provides greater support and ergonomics. This is not too thick or heavy a device. The Y7 has measurements of 153.6 x 76.4 x 8.35 millimeters and a weight of 165 grams. On the front we find a 5.5-inch IPS screen with 2.5D glass. The resolution used is HD (1,280 x 720 pixels), which gives it a density of 267 pixels per inch. Either on its front or on its back, we miss a fingerprint reader.
It should be added that your panel has an Eye Comfort mode. This is a very interesting function that will help us protect our eyes when reading, watching a movie or browsing for many hours with the terminal.
2. Power and performance
The Huawei Y7 has a fairly basic processor. Logically, we must not forget that we are facing a mobile that borders the entry range. In any case, it will allow us to work without problem with some of the most popular applications and games on Google Play. The chip used is not a Kirin this time, but a Snapdragon 435. It is an eight cores with four working at a speed of 1.4 GHz and the other four at 1.1 GHz. This processor is accompanied by an Adreno 505 GPU and 2 GB of RAM. For its part, the internal storage capacity is, in this case, 16 GB, expandable through the use of microSD cards. It is more than enough space for the photos of these holidays. Anyway, in case of missing more you can always resort to a cloud storage service such as Dropbox or Google Drive.
3. Good camera for selfies
Another of the most outstanding features of the Huawei Y7 is found in the photographic section. The device has a main chamber 12 megapixel with a size of 1.25 microns per pixel. This will allow us to capture better quality. In addition, it has an LED flash and a phase detection focus system, which, according to the company, will give us the ability to focus on objects in just 0.3 seconds.
On the front there is an 8-megapixel resolution sensor, comparable to that of other higher-end models. It offers a beauty mode so that we can take much more beautiful and natural selfies. It does not have a flash, so we will have to try to take self-portraits in places with ideal lighting conditions.
4. Android 7
The Huawei Y7 comes standard with Android 7, the latest version of Google's mobile platform. This version comes alongside the company's EMUI 5.1 customization layer, which has been redesigned with a more fluid and minimalist appearance. Nougat in turn is going to offer many outstanding features. One of them is the famous multi-window mode, which allows you to use two simultaneous applications from the same screen. Also, the notification system has been improved and Doze has been given more power. The battery saving feature is much smarter than on Android 6.
When it comes to connections, the Huawei Y7 doesn't disappoint either. It has LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, minijack and MicroUSB 2.0. As we say, it is also Dual SIM, so we can use two cards at the same time to call and navigate.
5. A high-flying battery
And, we come to one of the parts in which users stop to check the most before purchasing a new terminal: the battery. The Huawei Y7 equips one of 4,000, a figure that should give us for more than a full day taking into account the characteristics of this model. Huawei maintains that the terminal grants up to 20 hours of video playback or 15 hours of continuous browsing. The company has also reported that it offers a retention capacity of more than 80 percent, even after 500 charge cycles. Therefore, it should maintain a good autonomy despite the passage of time.
Price and availability
The Huawei Y7 is already on sale for 220 euros. It can be purchased in three different colors: gray, silver and gold.
