Performance
The Huawei Y5p runs on Android 10 with EMUI 10.1, but it lacks Google Play Services due to Huawei's ongoing trade restrictions. This absence might be a significant drawback for users reliant on Google’s ecosystem, although the Huawei AppGallery provides an alternative for downloading apps. Under the hood, a MediaTek Helio P22 chipset powers the device, featuring an octa-core CPU (4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.5 GHz Cortex-A53) and PowerVR GE8320 GPU. This combination supports basic functionalities and regular app use, although it may struggle with more intensive tasks or gaming. With 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable via microSDXC, the phone handles day-to-day operations smoothly but can experience slowdowns under heavy loads.
