Design:
Talking about the design, device has got a pretty slim and sleek body. Huawei Y7 Prime (2018) has got pretty slim bezels which makes the device look more elegant and classy. The power button is on the right side of the device and the volume buttons are above the power button. The back of the device is a complete Aluminium slab on which dual rear camera setup with Led flash and fingerprint sensor are placed. It comes in three color variants, black, gold and the signature blue. All in all Huawei has done a great job in the design department and the phone does not look and feel like a mid-range smartphone it's design is something worthy of a Flagship phone.

The Huawei Y7 Prime (2018) features a 5.99 inch HD+ display with 1440×720 pixels FullView Display to provide the best viewing experience. The 2.5D curved glass panels gives the device a premium look and feel. Most of the phones in this price range are not even close to this display. It comes with a 18:9 aspect ratio, the device is comfortable to hold. Moreover, there is a smart split screen mode in the phone that allows users to multi task and get more done on the wider screen.

The phone's camera technology allow users to refocus after the photo is taken to produce high quality studio like portraits with striking details.

The quality of pictures taken from both the front and back camera entirely lived up to the expectations.
Performance:
The 1.4GHz octa core Snapdragon 430 processor with 3GB RAM seems to be enough to give an average user a smooth experience.

The Adreno 505 GPU takes care of your gaming needs and runs most of the 3D games without any issues.

The Facial Unlock in the device is powered by AI facial recognition algorithm, it can automatically detect 1,024 points of a human face and perform high accuracy mapping. The device can unlock the screen in less than 900 milliseconds by using facial unlock.
