Huawei recently announced the new Y8s phone, which bets on a robust front-facing camera system and may well please the targeted selfie lovers. The product also has intermediate specifications, including Kirin 710 processor, made by the Chinese manufacturer.
Huawei’s new mid-range smartphone is expected to reach various global markets at a very affordable price. Huawei Y8s has been officially unveiled on the manufacturer’s official website initially for the Jordanian market.
The Huawei Y8s features a 6.5 inch IPS LCD screen with Full HD + resolution with 1080 x 2340 pixels and 19.5:9 ratio.
