For the Gen Z user, a smartphone must be able to do many things. Not only must a phone be stylish and have great cameras, it must also have enough power to run all the top apps and games that are needed, be it the most popular games or helpful apps for school or work. To top it all off, the perfect smartphone for Gen Z must have all these features all with a price tag that won’t break the bank.
Given the requirements of today’s Gen Z smartphone user, it might seem difficult to find a phone that’s fit for the lifestyle of today’s youth. Don’t worry though, Huawei has recently released a phone that’s perfect for the Gen Z, and that is the new Huawei Y7a.
The Y7a is a revamp of Huawei’s long-running Y-series, and it brings a host of new features that younger users will surely love and find useful to boot. Best of all, the Y7a has a price that’s quite affordable, especially given its list of features.
Wondering what exactly makes the Y7a the perfect smartphone for Gen Z? Here are 7 features that make the phone an excellent choice:
Impressive Cameras
Budget smartphones aren’t exactly known for having great cameras, but the Huawei Y7a bucks that trend as it features a quad camera setup headlined by a 48MP shooter that’s complemented by an ultra-wide, a macro, and a depth sensor. The 48MP camera isn’t just for show though; in fact, in our review of the phone, the main camera worked well for both daytime and nighttime photography. This is thanks to the impressive Night Mode which lets you capture bright and detailed low light photos.
Check out some sample shots taken with the phone here:

While the 48MP main camera is the highlight, the rest of the quad cam setup is also just as impressive. For one, the 8MP ultra-wide shooter lets you take wide-angle shots of landscapes, as well as group photos that can fit everyone. Then there’s the macro camera which allows you to take creative shots up close to your subject. And then we have the depth sensor which allows for awesome portrait shots with a nice bokeh effect.
Aside from its rear cameras, the Y7a also has a capable 8MP front camera that’s sure to take social media ready selfies. Plus, it even has portrait mode and a whole host of filters to play around with.
Great Gaming Performance
When not snapping pics, Gen Z users love to play games, and in that regard, the Huawei Y7a does not disappoint! Thanks to the Kirin 710A processor along with 4GB of RAM, the Y7a has enough power to run today’s popular games, especially games such as Garena Free Fire. In case you’re unfamiliar, Free Fire is one of the most popular battle royale shooters on mobile right now, and it’s available for free on the AppGallery.
Aside from Free Fire, the Y7a can also handle other popular titles such as Mobile Legends or Asphalt 9. You wouldn’t have to worry about running out of storage either for games as the Y7a has a 128GB of internal storage.
Long Battery Life
Powerful gaming performance is great and all, but if a phone loses juice in the middle of a game, then that’s no good for the Gen Z user. Good thing the Y7a has a massive 5,000mAh battery! Thanks to this, you can have marathon gaming sessions without the fear of having your phone lose charge right in the middle of a clash.
Best part is, if you do need to charge, you won’t have to keep the Y7a plugged for too long. This is because the phone supports 22.5W SuperCharge fast charging. In fact, the Y7a is the only smartphone in the market that has 22.5w SuperCharge, meaning it charges incredibly fast when compared to other budget phones.
Big Screen for Work and Play
Whether viewing recently snapped photos or for facing of an enemy squad, having a large screen is of great importance for the younger crowd. After all, smartphones have become all-in-one devices for both work and play. So it’s a good thing that the Huawei Y7a has a large 6.67-inch display that makes it an excellent match for the discerning Gen Z user. Thanks to its large size, the Y7a’s display will let you have a fun time playing/binge-watching, as well as give you enough screen real estate for productivity.
Aside from being big, the display also has an FHD+ (1080p) resolution, meaning it looks much better than a lot of competing budget phones that only have 720p displays.
Excellent Match for Distance Learning
While Gen Z users love to have fun, they also need a device that can let them handle responsibilities such as distance learning programs given the current situation. The Huawei Y7a is excellent for fun, but it’s also a great fit for online learning. This is because of the phone’s combination of performance, large display, and quality front camera. After all, these three things are pretty much a requirement for both handling schoolwork and attending online classes via Zoom.
Aside from its specs being great for distance learning, the Y7a also has a lot of apps that are sure to help students in online classes. One such app is Google Classroom, a free service that lets users create classes, distribute assignments, communicate, and more.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to download Google Classroom on the Y7a:

Nifty Features that Make Life Easier
While the Y7a is already a great pick thanks to its performance and cameras, Huawei has added a wealth of features that make life easier for the Gen Z user. For one, the Y7a has MeeTime, a video chat app that lets users keep in touch with friends and family—something that’s incredibly important given the quarantine.
Another nifty feature is Smart Screenshot. With this feature, a user can simply knock the screen twice with a knuckle to quickly take a screenshot. This is perfect for the Gen Z user, whether it’s to take a snap of the assignments for the day, or to screenshot a funny meme to send to the group chat.
AppGallery + Petal Searh Widget = All your Favorite Apps and more
Apps are what make smartphones the incredible devices they are, and the Y7a has the AppGallery and Petal Search Widget combot that makes finding and downloading apps quick and easy.
The AppGallery, Huawei’s own app store, is currently the third-biggest app market in the world. Thanks to this, the AppGallery is home to Zoom, Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Lazada, Shopee, foodpanda, and many more. The store is also home to a variety of games, including the likes of Free Fire and Mobile Legends.
