The smartphone is powered by a staggering 4, 000mAh battery. The battery is powerful enough to power the phone for a whole day when fully charged. Although this smartphone boasts a higher battery capacity than the popular Nova 3i, both batteries have similar performance rate. This is because the larger screen display consumes more power and hence, the need to improve on the battery capacity.

Hardware and software
Just like most other top smartphone brands these days, Huawei does not go outside its chipset for its latest smartphones. Although the chipset was built for an average-range performance, it remains a very powerful one. The Hisilicon Kirin 710 processor heavily powers the functions of the phone alongside the Mali-G51 MP4 GPU. In terms of processor, there is no difference between the Nova 3i and this smartphone.
Huawei Y9 comes in various versions with a difference in RAM. You can get one with either 4 GB RAM or 6 GM RAM with internal memory of 64 GB and 128 GB respectively. The memory is expandable via a MicroSD to up to 400 GB.
