Design and display
Bringing a nicely designed smartphone with a 19.5: 9 aspect ratio that makes it a bit slim and slender as well. A fairly common sight for a smartphone of this age, the Huawei P Smart (2019) comes with a shiny plastic box. The finish makes it prone to dirt and becomes a fingerprint magnet in short time of handling. Otherwise, the handling of the smartphone is easy, with a thickness of 8mm and weighing only 160g. There are two circular cameras on the back and a fingerprint sensor, an audio connector on the bottom with MicroUSB port and other regular features.
On the front of the smartphone is a large display with the usual reduction of the panel that ends up leaving a little panel left at the bottom. There is the notched spine at the top and can be hidden with black bars appearing on the screen on both sides of the notch. The screen occupies 6.21 inches of space and comes with an FHD / resolution.
Battery and Camera
The smartphone meets the criteria of being able to spend a day without having to turn it on. Going just above the mediocre line, the battery has a capacity of 3, 400mAh. A fair share of energy for your daily use and with that comes quick charge to recharge your battery. However, it is somewhat disappointing that the smartphone even comes with a MicroUSB port rather than the trendy USB Type-C.
This smartphone does well in presenting a camera that can deliver even if the quality is not top notch. You can still achieve a quality worthy of social media. There is AI scene recognition “HiVision” for object identification/shopping interpretation and text among other interesting features. The 8 MP front camera is equipped with AI beauty for more beautiful selfies and also works for facial unlocking. The rear cameras include a 13MP main sensor and a 2MP secondary camera.
Hardware and Software
Huawei creates the chipset on this smartphone from the inside, which means it has its own HiSilicon cores. The Kirin 710 HiSilicon processor works seamlessly by running multitasking with 3 GB of RAM. There is a turbo boost to enhance the games and a 64GB or 32GB storage space for storing files. Expansion of storage can happen up to 256GB with a memory card and there is Android 9 with EMUI 9 at the top.
