Huawei y6 pro smartphone. Huawei Y6 (2018) - a modern budget employee with a large display

Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 is a budget smartphone with a high-quality FullView screen. The gadget has gotten a powerful external speaker that delivers great sound. The device was announced in May 2018.

Appearance and ergonomics

Huawei U6 Prime 2018 looks both practical and stylish. This effect is achieved largely thanks to the chrome frame that connects the plastic cover and the glass front panel. On the back matte surface there is a round fingerprint scanner, which accurately and quickly reacts to touch. Slightly higher is the protruding horizontal block with flash and main camera. There is an additional microphone literally nearby.

The entire front part is covered by a glossy 2.5D glass. Although a "frameless" display is used here, there are still some indents and frames. All navigation buttons “moved” to the screen, becoming virtual. The lower edge received symmetrical grilles, under which the multimedia speaker and the main microphone are hidden. And between these holes there is a microUSB port. At the top you can find only a headphone jack.

The assembly is very high quality, and it is extremely pleasant to use the smartphone. Rounded corners and edges improve ergonomics. Available colors: gold, black, blue. Dimensions: height - 152.4 mm, width - 73 mm, thickness - 7.8 mm, weight - 150 g.

Display

The Y6 Prime 2018 houses a 5.7-inch FullView screen. This IPS-matrix has a resolution of 1440 by 720 pixels, and also received an aspect ratio of 18: 9. This display stands out for its better contrast and natural color reproduction. There is an automatic brightness control. Outdoors in bright weather, the image remains readable, but with a noticeable loss of shades. Through the settings, you can turn on the eye protection mode, as well as lower the resolution to save energy. If desired, it is possible to adjust the color temperature.

Iron and performance

Smartphone U6 Prime 2018 is powered by a modest quad-core processor Snapdragon 425 from Qualcomm with a clock speed of 1400 MHz. It uses the budget 3D accelerator Adreno 308. There are two versions of the device: with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, as well as with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory. The device has a rechargeable battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh. In active mode, the charge is enough for about a whole day.

The device is based on the latest Android 8.0 operating system with a pre-installed EMUI 8.0 shell. In the AnTuTu v7 test, the most powerful modification gains about 47,000 points. In real conditions, the smartphone copes with relatively simple tasks with dignity. Brakes are felt only when minimizing programs, as well as when changing animations when more than three applications are running at the same time. Also, this gadget is not suitable for demanding games, but you can still launch many toys.

Communication and sound

On the underside of the Huawei Y6 Prime 2018, there is a surprisingly powerful external speaker. Its volume level reaches 88 dB, which allows you to comfortably listen to music even on a noisy street. At the same time, the shades of high-quality sound do not disappear anywhere.

Prices

Video reviews

The Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 smartphone is a big budget smart phone. This model is a "premium version" of the Huawei Y6 mobile device, which has more modest characteristics. As for the Prime version, at a fairly adequate and democratic cost (the price of a smartphone is almost $ 200), it has a presentable appearance and acceptable technical characteristics.

The Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 phone has a typical appearance for modern smartphones. On the front of the smartphone is a large, 5.7-inch screen with thin bezels. Above it you can see the light sensor, front camera, earpiece, LED event indicator, as well as a selfie flash

The rear side of the mobile device has a rather laconic equipment. In the upper left corner in an elongated black frame is the camera lens, which is adjacent to the LED light.

In the center at the top there is a microphone responsible for the noise canceling function. Just below it is a round fingerprint scanner. Only the silver logo of the manufacturer can be found under the display. Virtual control buttons are placed in the screen frame.

The front camera of the device is also designed to recognize the owner's face.

On the right side of the Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 there are power and volume buttons. On the left is a combined card tray (2 SIM cards and one memory expansion card). Above, you can see a 3.5 audio jack for connecting headphones or headsets. Below is a MicroUSB for synchronizing the device with a computer and charging the gadget. On the sides of it are the slots for the main speaker and the spoken microphone.

Design and ergonomics

Huawei Y6 Prime 2018, which is reviewed in this article, is completely made of plastic. However, the build quality is worth mentioning separately. There are no backlashes, the plastic does not creak, all the elements of the case are well fixed. Rounded shapes and a glossy bezel located around the perimeter of the gadget add some extravagance to the smartphone.

As for the design of the device, it should be added that the gadget has three color options: black, gold and dark blue. The mobile phone fits pretty well in the hand. It is quite convenient to operate the functions of the device with one hand.

The mobile device has a weight of 150 grams, and rather modest dimensions (152.4 x 73 x 7.8). The hand does not get tired even after prolonged use of the phone, and the rounded corners do not cause discomfort.

Display

Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 is equipped with an IPS display with a diagonal of 5.7-inches, an aspect ratio of 18 to 9, and a resolution of 1440 by 720 dpi.

The relatively low resolution is compensated by well-adjusted contrast and natural colors. The display of the device has acceptable brightness values. This allows you to comfortably use your phone outdoors. However, in sunny weather, or under conditions of excessively bright lighting, the reserve of brightness may not be enough. The mobile phone is equipped with an automatic brightness control option.

For a budget phone, the Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 screen has acceptable viewing angles. Contrast changes are only possible with excessive diagonal deviations.

A number of subtle display settings are provided for users. For example, manually setting the color temperature, or activating the eye protection option from overload. In this case, the blue filter is activated, which reduces the strain on the eyes of the user of the device. The gadget has an option to automatically reduce the display resolution. This allows you to increase the autonomy of the mobile device.

Equipment

Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 has a fairly modest package In addition to the user manual and warranty cards, you can find in the box:

• a paper clip designed to remove the card tray from the device body;
  charger unit;
• USB cable.

A standard headset is not included in the package of the mobile phone.

Characteristics Huawei Y6 Prime 2018

The characteristics of Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 allow you to comfortably use your mobile device to solve everyday tasks. The phone copes well with multitasking too. This is facilitated by 3GB of RAM.

For data storage, 32 GB of permanent flash memory is provided, of which 24.79 GB is available. If this is not enough, then you can use a microSD expansion card. The smartphone allows you to install additional memory up to 256GB, which is enough to store a solid library of movies, audio and other multimedia.

Due to the presence in the tray of the corresponding slot, users have the opportunity to install 2 SIM cards, and a microSD. By the way, not every executive-class mobile device can boast of this.

Performance

As for the performance of the Huawei Y6 Prime 2018, it has a rather mediocre performance. The “brain” of the device is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 425. This processor model is not distinguished by high performance and is considered outdated. It has four Cortex-A53 cores, which can be overclocked to a clock speed of 1.4 GHz. The Adreno 308 chip plays the role of the smartphone's graphics accelerator. This means that you can forget about highly demanding 3D applications and games when using a mobile device.

In AnTuTu, the Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 scored 46431 points, which is quite good for a budget smartphone.

With a large number of running programs, animation slowdowns are possible, in addition, the launch of the applications themselves cannot be called instantaneous. If 2-3 light programs are running on the smartphone, then there are no problems with the smoothness of animations and performance.

The mobile device is not capable of "pulling" heavy games and applications. However, casual games run and work pretty well on this device.

Huawei Y6 Prime also has a less powerful version - with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent memory. This version of the device gives more modest results in synthetic tests.

For a budget-class smartphone, the Huawei Y6 Prime camera has good performance and speed.

Cameras

The main camera of Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 is equipped with an LED flash, a module with a resolution of 13 megapixels, and an aperture of f / 2.2.

Photo

As for the pictures taken with the main camera, provided that there is good lighting, the photos have good clarity, high detail and acceptable color rendition. Autofocusing is almost instantaneous. However, the picture changes dramatically if you take pictures in conditions of insufficiently high visibility. Pictures lose detail and color.

In addition, noise appears in photographs, which is most noticeable with flash photography. In general, the quality of the photos taken with the Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 can be called acceptable.

The dynamic range of the obtained images is average. Activating the HDR option (image enhancement function) does not particularly affect the situation.

As for the standard camera application, it is practically no different from those that are installed on other smartphones. By swiping to the left, the user will be able to select shooting modes, and by swiping to the right, to make “fine” camera settings.

Video

As for video recording, the module is capable of recording video in FullHD (1920 × 1080) quality. This model does not have an electronic stabilization function. Video is shot at 30 frames per second.

Front-camera

The front camera module has a resolution of 8 megapixels, and an aperture of f / 2.0. The features of the front camera include the presence of a tone flash, as well as being equipped with the AR Lens function, thanks to which you can instantly change the background in the photo. In addition, the front camera of Huawei Y6 Prime has the option to unlock the smartphone by the owner's face.

Sound and quality of music playback

Huawei Y6 Prime, despite the budget status of the model, has a decent enough sound. The smartphone is equipped with two speakers with a capacity of 88 dB, and has a high volume reserve. There is also an equalizer with advanced settings, and a group music function. The sound emitted from the speakers is clear, but the bass has to be forgotten.

The smartphone has three different music listening modes:

1. Near - all parameters acquire average values, and sound preamplification is slightly reduced. This mode is optimal for listening to music through headphones.
2. Front - in this mode the spoken and main speakers work as multimedia. For a more complete immersion, it is recommended to place the phone horizontally. At the same time, the "home theater" effect does not add a bass sound to the sound.
3. Wide mode - sound sounds with built-in reverb and delay effects superimposed. This makes the sound more spacious and spacious (“concert hall” mode).

Huawei Y6 Prime is equipped with a karaoke mode, as well as an option that allows you to output sound from your smartphone to the speakers of other mobile devices. In total, up to 8 smartphones can be connected as speakers to Huawei Y6 Prime at the same time.

There are no complaints about the sound of Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 - the sound is clear, moderately loud and clear. When talking with the interlocutor, there is no extraneous noise and interference.

Communication capabilities

The communication capabilities of the mobile device are implemented using the Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth: 4.2, A2DP, LE modules. The device is equipped with a GPS navigation system together with A-GPS, GLONASS. Also in the equipment of the top-end gadget there is an NFC module. The smartphone has a built-in radio receiver.
Communication is supported by GSM, HSPA and LTE technologies.

Operating system

Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 runs on Android 8.0 operating system. The software capabilities allow users to personalize the device.

The EMUI shell is able to remember the actions of the owner of the gadget, and automatically adjusts various settings of the device for them. The navigation button allows you to use the device with one hand, and the option to split the display into two parts allows you to keep two windows of running applications open at the same time. The process of taking a screenshot of the screen is quite simple - the user needs to swipe down with three fingers on the display of the gadget.

The features of the operating system include some preinstalled programs. From the standard software, it is worth highlighting the built-in photo and video editor, as well as a text editor.

Autonomy

Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 is equipped with a large enough battery - 3000 mAh. As for the operating time of the gadget, it directly depends on the mode of using the smartphone. With the 4G connection turned on with the display turned on at full brightness, the phone lasted 4.5 hours.

When connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, with the screen turned on at full brightness, the device worked for almost 6 hours, which can be called quite a good indicator for the battery.

With less intensive use of the phone, the battery can last from one and a half to two days without recharging.

To ensure the minimum consumption of battery power, you can activate the appropriate mode. In this mode, the gadget can work for several days. Maximum energy saving is important in conditions where it is impossible to recharge a mobile phone in a timely manner. For example, when going on a picnic for several days, or going on a hike.

Final review

Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 is one of the successful budget smartphones of 2018. The functionality of the device, its technical characteristics allow you to comfortably solve everyday tasks.

The Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 is not without its drawbacks. The most significant are the modest performance and the absence of a standard headset in the package bundle of the device. However, among smartphones located in this price segment, Y6 Prime rightfully takes its rightful place.

The Huawei Y lineup has been significantly expanded by adding models with the Prime prefix in the name. But does the premium name justify itself in the budget model and is it worth it, albeit a little, but still overpay?

Specifications

Appearance

The Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 is a typical budget smartphone with some atypical features for low-cost smartphones. For example, our subject is equipped with a display with an aspect ratio of 18: 9. You don't need to be a prophet to predict the further coming of this screen format. And only a matter of time is a complete or almost complete rejection of the "warm lamp" 16: 9 in favor of the newfangled aspect ratio. But now it is a "trick" for the budget class.

The body of the device is quite thin, and the weight is also low. But the rigidity of the case is clearly not enough, therefore, when trying to twist and squeeze it, it willingly succumbs, but, remarkably, it does not make a sound at the same time. Because of this, for a moment there is a feeling that the body is rubber. With a light tap on the smartphone, the mechanical keys rattle a little. The body is completely plastic, the back cover, of course, too. The back surface is smooth with a matte finish, so prints are not too noticeable on the blue version. Of course, the least brand is the gold version, and the black one is the most dirty. However, even in the black version, the "fingers" will not cause much trouble, because the body is easy enough to clean. On the ends there is plastic with a mirrored surface. Here prints are more noticeable, but, oddly enough, glossy inserts are not particularly afraid of scratches and abrasions.

In front of the display there is an earpiece, a light and proximity sensor, a front camera, and a flash, which is hidden by black tint. Looking ahead, it is worth noting that this masking of the flash greatly reduces the luminous flux, which affects the quality of lighting and, as a result, the quality of pictures. Here, the designers are clearly playing, because the yellow dot of the LED would not greatly affect the overall perception of the design of the smartphone. From the rear, you can see the camera, flash, microphone and fingerprint sensor, which is not available.

On the left side surface, only a tray is visible, which allows you to simultaneously install a pair of nanoSIM format SIM cards and a microSD format carrier. On the right side surface there is a standard set consisting of volume control and lock keys.

Only the connection connector is installed on top, and the microUSB connector, microphone and system speaker below.

Display

The smartphone uses an IPS-matrix with a diagonal of 5.7 inches, an aspect ratio of 18: 9 and a resolution of HD + (720 * 1440). It cannot be said that this is a drawback, because even in a more expensive one with a larger diagonal, the resolution is the same. The display supports up to 10 simultaneous clicks. The presence and quality of the oleophobic coating could not be verified because the smartphone was provided with a protective glass installed. Testing has shown that exactly the same matrix is ​​used as in the slightly more accessible one. With the maximum backlight power, the brightness of the white field is 386.77 cd / m2, while the brightness of the black field is 0.383 cd / m2, which gives a static contrast ratio of 1010: 1.

In terms of color accuracy, the situation is the same as in the case. The measured gamma value is 2.54, the color temperature is quite high. The deviation of Delta E color on a wedge of gray gradually increases from black to light tones, and reaches 19.1 on white. For primary colors (CMYRGB), the deviation does not exceed 6.8. The color gamut is slightly off the standard sRGB color space, but very close to it.

Sound

The smartphone is equipped with a pair of speakers - spoken and system. Unfortunately, the earpiece is not used as a play-along. However, the system speaker itself is quite loud. When playing a test signal with a frequency of 1 kHz at a distance of 1 meter from the smartphone, a level of 81.3 dBA was recorded, which is very loud by the standards of smartphones. There are no obvious defects such as crackling or hiss, but at some frequencies, when the volume is set to the maximum volume, the speaker chokes, and the frequency range is not impressive. However, taking into account the cost of the subject, the sound quality should be recognized as quite decent. When the test signal was reproduced at the analog audio output when operating on a 32 Ohm load, a value of 233.2 mV was recorded, and when using a 16 Ohm load - 171.3 mV.

Performance

The smartphone is based on the same system-on-a-chip as in - Qualcomm Snapdragon 425. This SoC, made in 28 nm process technology, is equipped with 4 Cortex A53 cores with a frequency of up to 1.4 GHz. The video subsystem is based on Adreno 308. RAM type LPDDR3 - 3 GB, which is 1 GB more than the Y6 2018. ROM is also more - 32 GB versus 16 GB. Looking ahead, it is worth noting that in addition to the larger volume, the built-in media is also more nimble.

System performance was measured in synthetics PCMark, 3DMark, Geekbench 4, AnTuTu v7. Memory speed was evaluated using the AndroBench application. Testing was also carried out in cross-platform javascript tests (Octane, Mozilla Kraken JavaScript and SunSpider). The results of these tests significantly depend on the browser used, so Google Chrome was used as the most common one. We also conducted testing in the CPU Throttling Test application, which determines throttling (throttling) under prolonged high loads. This test evaluates the efficiency of the heat dissipation system and the performance under continuous loads.
The following smartphones were chosen as opponents:
: MediaTek MT6737T, 3 GB, RAM, 5.5 inches, 720 * 1280;
: Samsung Exynos 7 Quad (7570), 4 cores (4x1.4 GHz), 2 GB, RAM, 5.5 inches, 720 * 1280;
: Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 2GB RAM 5.7 '' 720 * 1440

Camera

The smartphone uses exactly the same rear camera as the. It is based on a 13 megapixel sensor with 5 phase sensors. The lens aperture is f / 2.2. The front camera is 8 megapixel with an f / 2.0 lens aperture, while the regular version of the Y6 2018 is equipped with a 5 megapixel sensor. The front-facing Y6 Prime 2018 not only has a higher resolution, but also the overall quality of the resulting images, both in good lighting and in low light.

daylight	artificial lighting, 30 lux
flash lighting

The subject also has a front-facing flash, but it is tinted in the body color, so the luminous flux from it is small, and only 3.4 lux were recorded at a distance of a meter from the smartphone. The rear flash is much more powerful - at a distance of 1 meter, it provides illumination of 33.5 lux. The results are almost the same as in the case.

There are no manual settings in the pre-installed camera control application, but it is possible to transfer control to third-party applications using the Camera 2 API. In addition, there is support for shooting in RAW.

For image quality assessment, a test pattern was captured in Adobe Lightroom at ISO 100-3200 in 1 EV steps. Below are the crop fragments.

Huawei, as usual, in its repertoire: "re-released" the existing model, calling it differently, and presented the device on the international market. Huawei Enjoy 5, Honor Holly 2 Plus, Honor 5X Play, Honor 4C Pro are the same smartphone. Only now it is called Huawei Y6 Pro. Announced in 2015 but sold to this day.

The Y6 Pro is a budget model, but interesting thanks to its solid battery capacity and decent amount of RAM. The minimum price we could find in online stores is $ 135. Well-known and well-known stores sell the product at a slightly higher price - for 155 USD. Prices shown are approximate and valid at the time of this writing.

The smartphone received a good filling, as for a budget device.

Design, buttons and connectors

In terms of design, no surprises: a typical plastic rectangle with rounded corners. The case is 9.7 mm thick and weighs 160 g with a capacious battery. The height of the product is 143.1 mm, the width is 71.8 mm.

The back panel of the sloping shape is covered with a diagonal pattern that you can feel with your fingers.

Not far from the front-facing camera and the speaker grill, there is an event indicator. Most of the elements on the case received a classic, familiar to everyone.

The power / volume buttons are on the edge on the right, the multimedia speaker and MicroUSB are on the bottom.

3.5mm audio jack - top.
But the navigation buttons are programmatically placed on the display. The model is available in three colors: gold, white and gray.

CPU

Since in this model the main emphasis is on autonomy, an economical 64-bit MediaTek MT6735P processor with a Mali-T720 video chip was installed, as the information on the official website and most reviewers says. But by installing the CPU-Z applicationit became clear that the smartphone has a different chipset, namely MT6582 with Mali-400 MP video chip. And this is a weaker chipset. The difference in the Antutu test is 10,000 points: MT6735P is gaining 35,000; MT6582 - 25,000 points. Why is this happening?

And the thing is that, in addition to different names in different regions, a smartphone with the name Huawei Y6 Pro is listed on the official website as a smartphone with a more powerful chipset than it actually is. There are many build numbers, the main ones are:

• HUAWEI Y6 Pro TIT-U02 - MediaTek MT6582 + Mali-400MP2
• TIT-AL00 (Enjoy 5 and other models) - MT6735P + Mali-T720
• TIT-L01 (Honor 4C Pro) - MT6735P + Mali-T720

The HUAWEI Y6 Pro TIT-U02 model is on sale in Ukraine, it is without LTE and with a weaker chipset.

When purchasing, go to Settings> About phone> Build number, and check which device you are purchasing. Due to incorrect information on the official website, confusion may occur in Ukraine that a device is being sold with a MT6735P + Mali-T720 chipset, and in fact a weaker chip.

Because of this, many bloggers wrote incorrect information about the smartphone sold in Ukraine. Allo, how do you hear?)

Someone complain that resource-intensive games lag and freeze. You just don't always need to rely on standard optimizations for a specific hardware. In modern games, it is possible to independently set the appropriate settings. As a rule, with such iron, you need to focus on medium and low parameters.

Memory

The smartphone has 2 GB of RAM. An excellent indicator for a budget model. For an unpretentious user, this will be enough "for the eyes" to simultaneously run several applications.

Built-in memory - 16 GB. We subtract what the system takes, and we get 10.55 GB of free space. There you can load applications, some games, and there will still be space. And if not, it's okay, removable storage comes to the rescue. In the settings, you can select it as the main location for installing applications. The maximum size of a supported flash drive is 128 GB; a separate slot is provided for it.

Autonomous work

As mentioned earlier, the main feature of this device can be considered a high battery capacity: 4000 mAh. Excellent battery life is demonstrated in mixed use cases. If you thoroughly take up your smartphone, turn on wireless data transmission, and torment it with the Internet, calls, watching videos, filming with a camera, it will easily withstand the day under extreme stress.

With more moderate use, the battery usually lasts for two days. If you turn off wireless networks and run FullHD video at full brightness, it will play continuously for up to 10 hours. And it will take 2 hours to fully recharge.

Like other devices from this manufacturer, there is an advanced power consumption setting mode. It allows you to keep control over the consumption of the charge. Up to limiting functionality for the sake of additional hours of battery life. You can also charge other mobile devices by connecting to the MicroUSB connector.

Camera

The main camera allows you to take pictures with a resolution of 13 MP. The aperture value is f / 2.0. There is autofocus, which works quickly during the day, and a medium-brightness LED flash. The camera application is quite functional, yet easy to learn. You can change exposure values ​​and focus on the fly. It is possible to adjust the white balance, contrast, ISO, saturation, sharpness.

In ideal lighting conditions, the automation selects the correct white balance. The resulting pictures have good contrast and good color reproduction. The overall level of detail is okay, and even good at close range.

If you look closely at daytime photos, you can see grain and noise. However, we will make a discount for the device's budget.

When creating panoramas, frames stick together well, "seams" are imperceptible. The smartphone copes best with subject shooting, you can achieve a beautiful bokeh effect (see box above). Indoors, under artificial lighting, detail is reduced, but the camera is doing well.

In room

Another shot indoors:

Even at night, you can get a frame of more or less acceptable quality.

Surprisingly: the stock camera can record videos in maximum HD (1280 x 720) resolution. The quality is also dull: there is not enough color saturation and picture clarity. The front 5 MP module is wide-angle (84 degrees), so not only the face of the smartphone owner is placed in the frame. The quality of the resulting photos is quite acceptable.

Selfie shot

Video recording is possible in HD resolution.

Display

Diagonal 5 inches, resolution 1280 x 720, IPS matrix. The pixel density is 293 dpi. For a state employee - a classic of the genre. Image quality is expectedly good, both in contrast and color rendition. By tilting the device in different directions, the user will not notice strong image fading, or color inversion on the screen. The minimum brightness level is quite comfortable for using the device in complete darkness.

When exposed to direct sunlight, alas, the brightness reserve is not enough, and the contents of the screen fade. Anyone who lacks the saturation of the image, or vice versa, prefers calmer tones, the ability to adjust the color temperature will come in handy. The touchscreen is capable of recognizing up to 5 simultaneous clicks.

There is also an unpleasant moment (it does not appear for everyone), sometimes the touchscreen has some misunderstandings with the sensitivity to pressing. Therefore, you have to either "poke" into it several times, or push harder than usual. Usually, to remedy the situation, you need to find the "Accessibility" section in the settings menu. There will be an item "Sensitive mode", and you need to activate it. However, our smartphone has not noticed such problems.

Networking capabilities

There are slots for 2 micro-SIM cards under the back cover. The smartphone is designed to work in 2G / 3G networks. WiFi single band - 2.4 GHz. Bluetooth version is 4.0. All communications work flawlessly.

Responsible for navigation and geo-positioning: GPS, GLONASS, A-GPS. MediaTek's processors have a poor reputation due to known navigation issues. Nevertheless, Huawei Y6 Pro surprises with excellent GPS and GLONASS performance. It "clings" to the satellites very quickly, a cold start in just 15 seconds. With a hot start, all navigation systems are ready for operation in less than 10 seconds.

Sound

The main speaker is average in volume, normal in sound quality. Let's compare with many other budget models. The speaker is normal, does not "scream", but not quiet either. The volume reserve when listening to music with headphones is not the most impressive. If the environment is noisy, you have to raise the volume level to the maximum value. Enthusiasts found a solution to this problem by making edits to the engineering menu.

Software part

The operating system is Android 5.1. The shell is EMUI 3.1 Lite, outwardly it is radically different from the stock Android interface. The lightweight version of the shell is simple without additional chips. Only the most important and useful branded applications remain. The full version of EMUI is usually installed on more expensive and more powerful smartphones.

There is information from the manufacturer's support service that work is underway to update the firmware to Android 6. Of course, no one names specific dates.

Additional features

• The smartphone can be turned into a Power Bank by selecting the appropriate option in the settings section.
• In an emergency, you can quietly activate video recording even if the screen is locked. To do this, it is enough to make a predetermined number of clicks on the volume button.

Who is the smartphone for

For those who are looking for an inexpensive dual SIM 3G / 4G device with a decent battery, a normal camera, and fast and stable navigation.

Our review of the smartphone Huawei Y6 Pro

On the one hand, in its price category, the smartphone is not bad in most parameters, and has quite significant advantages.

However, there are owners of Huawei Y6 Pro who do not care about the quality of video shooting, and they solved the problem with the screen by increasing its sensitivity to touch.

The matrix is ​​not bad, but the sound is generally pleasing. In general, we will recommend Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 for a detailed and close acquaintance of the mk for the declared value - a very good smartphone
