Summary
- The Cat S52 features a rugged build with Gorilla Glass 6 on the front and an aluminum frame, weighing 210g, while the Huawei Y9s has a more conventional glass front and back design, weighing slightly less at 206g.
- The S52's 5.65-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels, compared to the Y9s's larger 6.59-inch display with a higher resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, resulting in better pixel density.
- In terms of performance, the S52 is powered by a Mediatek Helio P35 chipset with 4GB RAM, while the Y9s utilizes a Kirin 710F chipset with 6GB RAM, offering superior multitasking capabilities.
- The camera setup on the Y9s is significantly more advanced, featuring a 48 MP triple rear camera system versus the S52's single 12 MP camera, and it also has a higher resolution 16 MP selfie camera compared to the S52's 8 MP.
- Battery capacity is another differentiator, with the Y9s housing a 4000mAh battery compared to the S52's 3100mAh, although both support 10W charging.
- Both devices run on Android 9.0, but the Y9s uses EMUI 9.1, which may offer a different software experience compared to the S52's planned upgrade to Android 10.
