We just received word that another budget phone from Huawei is coming to the Philippines this month.

(Update, March 12: It’s up for preorder! Read Huawei Y7 preorder details in the Philippines revealed.)

According to the company, the Huawei Y7 will be released in the country soon for a suggested retail price of P6,990, or roughly $138 in U.S. currency.

Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chip, the Huawei Y7 gets 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which can be expanded using a microSD card with up to 512GB of space for your favorite apps downloaded from the Huawei AppGallery.

The smartphone has a big screen — a 6.26-inch waterdrop display with a 19:9 aspect ratio. The notch houses an 8-megapixel selfie camera. On the back are 13-megapixel and 2-megapixel shooters. With artificial intelligence, the former can recognize more than 500 scenes with 22 labels in real time.

There’s a rear-mounted fingerprint reader, but you may also use the Face Unlock feature to, well, unlock the handset. And the Huawei Y7’s 4,000mAh battery should keep you from using a charger often.
