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 promoted 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. With a thickness of 9.7 mm and a weight of 160 g, the case is obliged to 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 arrangement for 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 it happens?
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. It's just that you 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 a 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 in extreme stress mode.
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 images 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 with subject shooting best of all, 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 margin 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 sensitivity to pressing. Therefore, you have to either "poke" into it several times, or push harder than usual. Usually, to fix 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 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 terms.
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.
Advantages and disadvantages
Pros:
- good autonomy;
- excellent work of navigation modules;
- good photo opportunities;
- separate slots for SIM and MicroSD.
Minuses:
- low resolution and quality of the recorded video;
- problems with the sensitivity of the wheelbarrow;
- non-removable battery in a plastic case.
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. On the other hand, the nuances described in the review with video resolution and a buggy sensor are perceived as nonsense. Such ridiculous and obvious mistakes cannot be made, despite the fact that this is a budget model. 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.

How much can you, Huawei? Anyone who follows the company's activity can ask such a question - after all, only in the last month we were shown five new smartphones (, and a series). And next in line is Huawei Y6 (2018) - it is more budgetary than the rest of the new products, but no less interesting in details.
The novelty is offered in blue, black and gold colors.
The look is simple and a little boring. On the back there is a single camera with flash and a logo (there is no fingerprint scanner). At the front is a 5.7-inch HD + display with almost no side bezels and small top and bottom stripes. A front camera with a face unlock function is installed on top.
The cameras do not impress with anything, but they are equipped with functionality that is classic for Huawei. For example, the 5-megapixel front camera supports AR processing of future selfies with backgrounds and masks, as well as creating studio lighting effects. The rear sensor received a resolution of 13 megapixels. Other stuffing: an entry-level Snapdragon 450 chip, a 3000 mAh battery, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of expandable storage space.
The multimedia, especially the sound capabilities of the smartphone are curious. The external speaker Huawei Y6 (2018) is capable of playing music at 88 dB, which is quite good - as the manufacturers themselves say, the tracks sound high quality, but almost 80% louder than on previous devices. We also implemented Huawei's own Histen technology, which allows you to simulate the sound of a recording in different environments - for example, in a theater or at a concert. And one more trick is synchronization with other smartphones of the same kind for simultaneous listening to the same songs from different devices.

How much will have to spend to buy the Huawei Y6 (2018) is not yet clear, but the Y series is already talking about the budget status of the device. But in addition to the price, some characteristics, such as camera parameters, are not disclosed, so the full picture will still have to wait. But it is already known that the smartphone will officially reach Russia. But when exactly?
Sales start date is hidden Price unknown
TFT IPS- High quality liquid crystal matrix. Has wide viewing angles, one of the best indicators of color and contrast quality among all that are used in the production of displays for portable equipment.

In this review, we will consider a new affordable device from the well-known Chinese corporation Huawei. The phone was announced in the spring of 2018. A distinctive feature of Huawei y6 is a non-standard, elongated screen. In addition, this gadget is equipped with a specialized front-end designed for unlocking by facial features... This trend, launched by Apple, was picked up and applied by the Chinese even in a budget phone.
Design and appearance
Form factor Huawei y6 is a traditional candy bar with slightly rounded edges. The perimeter of the case is surrounded by a metal rim. With the help of such a visual solution, two tasks are solved at once. Firstly, the device becomes more durable, and secondly, it looks stylish with such a frame. The back of the phone is worth praising: the cover is non-removable, but its coating is quite non-marking. No fingerprints or streaks on the back, this is very important in cases where the gadget is used without additional protection. However, if prints do remain, they will be easy to clean.
Most of the front surface is occupied by the display. The bezels of the Huawei y6 smartphone are very thin and visually almost invisible. The enlargement of the screen made the front no room for physical buttons... All front panel controls are virtual. In the lower part, under the display, the company logo is placed. The back cover looks less saturated, there is only a camera with a flash. On the side, at the bottom of the device, there is a speaker. There is also a standard microUSB input.
Above is a microphone and a plug where you can plug in headphones. Smartphone, thanks to its well-chosen dimensions, fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, it is easy and pleasant to use it. Available in gold, blue and black colors.
Huawei y6 2018
Screen features
The Huawei y6 review cannot do without describing the advantages of the display. Smartphone 2018 should have a large screen: this is one of the fundamental trends. The model has 5.7 inch display, which in modern realities can be considered almost a compact size. The S-IPS matrix has a resolution of 1440x720p. The aspect ratio is 18 × 9. The top of the display is covered with a 2.5D convex glass. The colors are a little oversaturated. However, the scale can be adjusted to your taste, such an opportunity is present. Screen brightness is not impressive although it is sufficient for indoor use.
Important! The viewing angle is one of the advantages of the device under consideration, it is practically maximum here. Even at maximum tilt, the colors do not fade and hardly change.
Memory and performance
The technical parameters of the device look attractive, especially for the budget segment. Responsible for performance is a quad-core chip from Qualcomm, SD425, for graphics - Adreno 308.
The characteristics of Huawei y6 look even more attractive against the background of synthetic tests. In benchmarks, the smartphone demonstrates a solid and confident average level. Of course, you shouldn't expect miracles with such hardware, but all modern games will run at medium-low settings. For everyday use, the installed hardware is quite enough... During operation, no freezes or slowdowns were noticed. The shell is fast, applications launch with minimal latency. For a device with 2 gigabytes of RAM on board, these are very good indicators.
Operating system
By default, the smartphone has Android version 8.0. However, Google's "bare" operating system is unlikely to be tested. Huawei promotes on its devices proprietary shell calledEMUI... This is another popular trend these days: most of the major players in the mobile market are trying to promote not just a gadget, but a whole system built on their own shell. In fact, it is an add-on to the Android OS.
EMUI version 8 works pretty fast. Graphically, the shell looks attractive. The design style is made in a somewhat boring material design, but this is, rather, a general trend and a matter of taste. There are always a bunch of branded themes and launchers at the service of lovers of individualization of the workspace. In general, the operating system can be described as easy to learn and pleasant to work with.
