One of the most notable features of the Y9 Prime 2019 is its auto pop-up camera which automatically pops up when the user switches from rear camera to front camera mode. In this mode, the front camera automatically emerges and hovers over the screen in a fashion similar to a submarine periscope appearing from under the surface.

In addition, the pop-up camera is equipped with an intelligent protection mechanism that detects free falls and retracts the lens.

Supporting up to eight scenarios, AI optimizes camera settings to come up with images that retain details with stunning clarity and vibrant colors.

Meanwhile, the 2-megapixel sensor works with the primary camera to generate depth of field in the photo. Additional features such as night mode and 480 FPS super slow-motion videos offer more room for photographic creativity and flexibility.

At the core of the Y9 Prime 2019 beats a 12nm Kirin 710F chipset coupled with a 4GB RAM, 128GB ROM, and EMUI 9.0, resulting in lightning-fast performance, yet low power consumption. Adding to the stamina of the smartphone is a 4000mAh battery which is rechargeable via a USB Type-C port.
