Huawei Y9a has been unveiled as the company's latest smartphone with a pop-up selfie camera. The new smartphone also comes with quad rear cameras. The Huawei Y9a also comes with a 3D arc design along with a nano-textured surface as well as includes up to 40W fast charging support. Key specifications of the Huawei Y9a make a tweaked version of the Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus that was launched in China just last week.
