Huawei has renewed its entry range by updating the Huawei Y5 2019, a phone that has undergone a major design renovation with respect to its predecessor, the Huawei Y5 2018. The device now comes with a panel with hardly any frames (with notch in the shape of a drop of water) and a back part imitating leather, which gives it an elegant and distinguished air. But it is not the only thing that differentiates it from last year's model.
The new Y5 2019 now includes a more powerful processor, a version with more storage (up to 32 GB), facial recognition and Android 9 Pie system. Read on if you want to know the 5 key differences between the Huawei Y5 2018 and Huawei Y5 2019.
Comparative sheet
1. More worked design
During its debut in July last year, the Huawei Y5 2018 landed with a polycarbonate design, with pronounced frames, typical of entry-level mobiles. This year, the company wanted it to evolve, to the point that this new generation now comes with a main panel, with hardly any frames (perhaps wider at the bottom) and with a notch or notch to house the front camera. In addition, the back is finished in leather in various colors, more striking and elegant. However, it will also be possible to purchase it with a polycarbonate shell.

If we look at the back of the terminal, the Huawei Y5 2019 includes this year the main camera in a vertical position instead of horizontally, which gives it a cleaner and more minimalist look. The logo has also moved to the lower left corner. It is no longer displayed in the center. In terms of media and weight, the Y5 2019 is somewhat thicker and heavier (146.5 x 70.9 x 8.3 mm / 142 grams VS 147.13 x 70.78 x 8.45 mm / 146 grams)
2. Display
The size of the panel has also grown slightly. From 5.45 inches it now rises to 5.71 inches, with a screen-to-body ratio of 84%. The resolution, yes, remains the same: HD +. The really positive thing between one generation and another is that the reduction of frames will allow you to enjoy a more immersive panel, something that always comes in handy when using apps, browsing or playing games.

3. Photographic section
There are really few changes in this section. In fact, the Huawei Y5 2019 once again includes a single 13-megapixel sensor on its back. The only difference is that instead of having an aperture f / 2.0 it comes with an aperture f / 1.8, which will allow you to capture more natural and realistic images. In fact, according to the company, it collects more than 50 percent light compared to its predecessor. In addition, this year the sensor is positioned vertically instead of horizontally, as we mentioned a little above. For its part, the sensor for selfies continues to have a resolution of 5 megapixels and is accompanied by a flash, which will improve selfies at night or in dark places.

4. Processor
The Huawei Y5 2019 is powered by a slightly more powerful processor than its predecessor. Includes a MediaTek MT6761 instead of a Mediatek MT673. In any case, it still has a 2 GB RAM, so the difference when working with one or the other will be almost imperceptible. We can say that both are entry phones, perfect to have as a second mobile or for those users who do not want to complicate life too much. Those who want to use them to see the mail, use a simple app like WhatsApp or call. However, this year the company has created a version with more storage. It will be available again with 16GB, like last year's model, but also with 32GB. Any expandable by microSD type cards.

5. Operating system
Finally, another of the big differences is found in the version of the operating system. The Huawei Y5 2018 came with Android 8 Oreo. This year, the company has equipped the Huawei Y5 2019 with Android 9 Pie (under EMUI 9.0), the most current version of Google's mobile platform. This means that it includes some of the great innovations that came with the system as standard. One of them is an adaptive battery system, which learns from the use that is given to the mobile to manage autonomy more intelligently. In this way, it is possible to save battery life and arrive with a higher percentage at the end of the day.
The Huawei Y5 2018 is available to buy in stores like Phone House at a price of 120 euros. The Y5 2019 will go on sale soon, although the exact date or price has not been provided.
