Competition in the mid-range segment of the market is still. Players like OPPO, Samsung, Nokia, TECNO and Infinix aren’t pulling punches. Today, Huawei is throwing yet another hat in the ring with the launch of the Huawei Y9s in Kenya. The Huawei Y9s comes hot in the heel of the success of last year’s Huawei Y9 2019 and the Huawei Y9 Prime in the Kenyan market. Huawei Y9s is the rebadged version of the Honor 9X which was launched in China in July this year. The Honor 9X features a 6.59-inch full-HD+ display with 1080 X 2340 pixel resolution. The phone is powered by a 7nm octa-core HUAWEI Kirin 710F SoC with ARM Mali-G52 MP6 GPU coupled with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.
