    Is it better than oppo a52?

    • Rain Cloud on 30/09/2020 - 09:43

      I have the a52. Picked it for having nfc and dual sim. Depends on whether nfc is important to you? A52 also has a bigger battery (5000mah)

      • Modesty on 30/09/2020 - 09:43

        I have a52 as well, great phone for the price.
        Just wanted to compare.

    • ozjacky on 30/09/2020 - 09:58

      A52 is using Snapdragon 665, which is better than Kirin 710F. About 5-10% faster in overall scores.

  • Gazpacho on 30/09/2020 - 09:47

    Interested to know how it compares to the A52 too

    • ozjacky on 30/09/2020 - 10:00

      A52 is better in performance,camera and almost every thing. But, it has a hole in screen.

      • petry on 30/09/2020 - 12:55

        has the a52 been 199? I missed that ..

  • lovbargain on 30/09/2020 - 09:47

    Is it better than Samsung a20? I got it from Amazon for $179 unlocked, but deadly slow.

    • ozjacky on 30/09/2020 - 09:56

      Y9 is using Kirin 710f vs Samsung A20 using Exynos 7884. 710f is made of 12nm , and 7884 is 14nm. The performance is similar, but the heat and power assumption of Kirin will be better.

    • Duff5000 on 30/09/2020 - 10:52

      Looks significantly faster to me.

      Also has a much higher resolution screen.

    • rwt on 30/09/2020 - 11:05

      a20 has issues with GPS. almost 2 years old model and Samsung still doesn't fix the issue

    I see Huawei prices going down like crazy. $199 for a 128GB phone is the cheapest deal I've seen so far. Has Huawei been largely affected by the Google Ban, and so are trying to stay relevant with these Pre-Ban phones?

    By the way Huawei Y5 has been taken off Aus Post's website. It was available for $159 for the past few days.

    • Scythic on 30/09/2020 - 10:32

      Not just Google ban, if you follow the news

      • djoz on 30/09/2020 - 10:35

        Yup, agree. But that has an impact on Phone Handsets as well? 5G equipment, I know.

        • Scythic on 30/09/2020 - 10:43

          The major blow was the US sanction on chipmakers. They aren't allowed to sell Huawei new chips and Huawei can't produce themselves

    • khued on 30/09/2020 - 12:41

      If Huawei is going to offer HarmonyOS, for these devices, later on, then Google Ban…meh. Otherwise, sucks balls.

    Matching JB Hifi. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/huawei-y9-prime-128gb-201…

    Edit.. lol as I now see you sort of mentioned … best get second coffee now.

    This phone, or the TCL Plex on sale at JB Hifi ($199 vs $299)??

    Pine Gap is gonna make sure you get deported on a national security bases for being near to this phone.

  • jesho on 30/09/2020 - 10:24

    Can anyone recommend a good value phone with a small screen? Ideally no more than 5 inches max.

  • Homr on 30/09/2020 - 10:44

    This or the TCL for extra $100? Its for my mum

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/569331

    • Arthur Dunger on 30/09/2020 - 10:46

      Spec wise it's a step above this but does your Mum really need that?
      Comments suggest it's very hard to find a case for the TCL, so that might be a deciding factor. Although it comes with a clear case.

    As someone who is stuck in the Apple eco system… that is incredible value! A fully working phone for less than 200 bucks, wow.

      People willingly buying Apple phones wow me too. Buy Apple shares, not the phones.

    What's the go with updates on this phone?

      Android = none. That is why it is going so cheap.

  • robertxx74 on 30/09/2020 - 12:43

    Amazon will still take orders but it's "temporarily unavailable". Seems to be an official hwawei store on amazon. If I put an order in, I wonder how long it would take to deliver. Does anyone have any experiences with this sort of thing?

  • SourCream3000 on 30/09/2020 - 15:49

    Is this phone better than OnePlus 7T pro? I am using Pixel 2 XL at the moment.. Waiting for Pixel 5 and to compare..

    It is safe and has a bright future those saying negative things are troll.

    Now debating if this runs better than my iPhone 7 Plus.

  • davedrastic on 30/09/2020 - 19:30

    I have a Huawei Nova 3i (Australian bought) which is very similar to this phone, one model lower.

    I was very happy with it then it died suddenly after 9 months. The display just stopped. Not dropped. Not water logged. Just stopped mid use for no particular reason.

    A repair guy has said this is common with "mid range" Chinese manufactured phones. They said that repairing the phone is not cost effective. I will be trying to find my receipt and taking it back to JB Hifi under warranty.

    I've very happy with the specs of the Huaweis and the Oppos but I don't want to pay $300 or more if they're going to die within 1 to 2 years.

    Anyone know if Huaweis and Oppos and similar are known for poor reliability, or did I just get unlucky?

    • Arthur Dunger on 30/09/2020 - 19:41

      If it was common we would be getting lots of comments on Ozbargain about it. The repair guy obviously thinks it's common because people don't come to him when their phones are working fine.

      Why did you take it to a repair guy when it's still under warranty?

      • davedrastic on 30/09/2020 - 19:51
        +1

        I didn't take it to the repair guy, my wife mentioned it to a repair guy she knows. I'm hoping to get it sorted under warranty, just need to find the receipt. I spoke with JB and they said I give it to them, they send it off, you wait 4 weeks or more before they decide what to do should they not be able to fix it. I'm confident that the display just died, so I guess a connection somewhere. I don't know if that's fixable or not.

        I was very happy with the phone outside of it dying though. Very much like a Samsung Galaxy 9 but for half the cost at the time.

    • Duff5000 on 02/10/2020 - 23:10

      Out of 4 redmi notes we have had 3 still work fine 1 went for a swim which killed it. Oldest is probably 5 years.
