System Performance

Huawei Y7 Prime is powered by Qualcomm’s lower mid-range system-on-chip Snapdragon 435, that’s big.LITTLE model of SP 430. The phone is powered by a quad-core 1.4GHz processor with Cortex-A53 cores. To handle graphics and gaming importantly on the phone, the chip features Adreno 505 GPU. Y7 Prime has a 3GB of RAM which is impressive on this mid-ranger.

Interestingly Y7 Prime has 32GB of internal storage which is also a plus point for a mid-range phone. Galaxy J7 Prime only has 16GB which is quite lower to handle heavy games usually take storage in gigabytes. When talking about games, Snapdragon 435 is good in this mid-range smartphone to play games as smooth as you wish your phone to play. It uses its powerful cores to give as better performance while playing games as possible. Subway Surfer, NFS No Limits, Asphalt Xtreme and Modern Combat 5 were the title that the phone was trialed on. All of them were played really well considering the price range of Y7 Prime.

Benchmark scores can tell you where it stands among its class. Y7 Prime was tested with AnTuTu 6, Geekbench 4, Basemark OS II and Basemark X. You can check the following scores in respective order.

We also test the phone on Vellamo for categorized scoring in different fields like web browsing, single core and multi cores.

Battery Performance

Battery on the other hand is the major factor of Y7 Prime, as Huawei is using it for marketing purposes. So you can easily bet that battery could be the most amazing thing in Y7 Prime. 4000mAh is first meant to be a power bank that can charge other devices as well. But we, here, are supposed to let Y7 Prime consume all the power juice to see how it performs with that power. The power – which is advertised as good amount of backup time the users will have with Y7 Prime.

Huawei Y7 Prime - Phone Manager

Company rates the phone to give 20 hours of video playback and 15 hours of browsing. We are looking at a phone that can give you extensive backup time easily for over 1.5 days – with standard usage over 4G/LTE. The standard usage actually includes all-day calling, texting, moderate browsing over WiFi, social apps including twitter, facebook etc and moderate camera usage. A little more extensive usage could still give over 24 hours on one full charge. One thing that I noticed GPS navigation and camera usage get the phone warm more than usual.
