Just how far can your 9k budget go for a smartphone? Well, if it's the Huawei Y7a, a long, long way.

To say that the new Huawei Y7a is feature-packed, now that's an understatement. At a price tag of P8,999, this fully-loaded device is practically a steal -- and the wiser choice to consider for your specs-conscious kids in this age of stay-at-home living and online learning. So what's the lot you really get with the giveaway priced Huawei Y7a?

The ultra-wide-angle lens shoot sans distorting the lines. In Night Mode feature, it delivers good images under low-light.An excellent camera is a big plus especially in the current pandemic where restrictions are enough to bring crazy out of anybody. 

With Huawei Y7a's Quad cam and bundle of features, killing time in and around homes can still be exciting to your kids. Super macro shot those spiders that have appeared plenty since the start of the quarantine, or maybe catch a butterfly or a bee drinking off a morning dew for that Nat Geo kind of shots. Play with the aperture or set it in pro mode, and feel like a professional shooting around the house.

Yes, even the smallest house becomes big for your most imaginative choice of subjects. Get set for marathon learning and livestreaming sessions with its hefty 5000mAh battery, boosted by the 22.5W SuperCharge technology that refuels the phone as quick – or even a 10-minute charge that is enough for 2 hours of video playback.

Huawei made the Y7a the perfect study buddy with the large battery complete with the intelligent AI power-saving algorithm, effortlessly running for up to 38.2 hours of 4G calling, 16.6 hours of online video playback and 12 hours of 4G web surfing.To the younger set, segueing from hours of online schooling to that much advised breaks of games, Facebook and Instagram is definitely not a problem.

The Huawei Y7a is guaranteed to run full and the extra mile with its huge battery. Did we mention that the battery's 10-minute charge is enough for 2 hours of video playback? 

And by the way, even in weak network conditions, HUAWEI MeeTime allows you to video chat with your family face-to-face, or share your screen with friends with other HUAWEI devices. The Huawei Y7a will run games and multitask without losing a beat.

PUBG, GTA, and other PPSSPP games? Easy. No lag. By the way, the Y7a is part of the Y Series' “Y for Youth, Y for You” theme of Huawei, which acknowledges the younger generation’s unique interests in their digital lifestyles. And that is why Huawei equipped the Y7a with a bigger and clearer display – at 6.67 inches with FHD+ Display that provides a 90% screen-to-body ratio for maximum learning and visual excitement. If you're a parent, these may sound as no big deal.

But go ask your kid, or any other kids.They'll say that when a phone’s slim frame feels like the display flows into the hand, adding excellent tactile feedback to the vivid screen’s clarity, the Huawei Y7a is good for the new normal, online learning. And after classes, these features are as important when it's time for gaming.

What else do you get for less than 9k? A 4GB of RAM for easy flicking between apps and a generous 128GB of storage and more space for high-res pictures, fun videos and exciting games, and, of course, files for homework and modules.
