No oleophobic coating. Little free memory.

The device is positioned as a solid state employee with balanced characteristics and is such in fact. The appearance of the mobile gadget recognizes the branded features of Huawei smartphones. At the same time, despite the 5.5-inch diagonal of the screen, the device does not look like a giant and fits comfortably in the palm of a medium size. High-quality colour reproduction and display of more than 16 million colours are provided by an IPS-matrix with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels.

One of the "chips" of Huawei Y7 is an advanced main camera (12 MP) with a large pixel size (1.25 microns each), which allows you to get better results when shooting in low light conditions. In addition, the smartphone is strong in battery life — a large-capacity non-removable battery (4000 mAh) ensures a long time of screen activity. But the amount of built-in memory of the phone is not so large (16 GB), but it seems possible to supplement it with a microSD memory card installed in the combined microSD + SIM slot.

Note to the photographer

At the moment, Huawei Y7 is the cheapest camera phone on the market. We use this term for smartphones with a photomatrix larger than the typical 1/3.06" (corresponding to a resolution of 13 and 16 MPix). Huawei Y7 has a 1/2.9" matrix (12 MPix, smaller is better) — not a record-breaking large one, but thanks to good software optimization it makes good photos even in low light conditions. And where the automation makes a mistake, you can use the completely manual camera settings.

Full Metal Jacket

The body of the Huawei Y7 is made of metal, and the screen is covered with 2.5D tempered glass, although it lacks a grease-repellent coating. The display, which quickly and abundantly becomes dirty with fingerprints, is an unfortunate drawback of absolutely all low-cost and even mid-priced Huawei smartphones of 2017, for example, P8 Lite 2017 and GR5 2017.

Energy balance

A 4000 mAh battery is hidden under the back cover, from which the Huawei Y7, controlled by an energy-efficient eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 453 processor, is able to eat for two to three days. Only 2 GB of RAM can be forgiven for a smartphone, because this volume is still enough even for demanding games, not to mention simpler applications. Another thing is only 16 GB of permanent memory, of which only 6 GB is available to the user (other smartphone manufacturers have 10+ GB). Partially solves the problem, which appeared in new versions of the Android OS, the ability to combine a memory card with permanent memory into a single array, but this function still does not work perfectly.
