Huawei Y6 Pro is a budget long-liver with decent performance

Recently, Huawei has stopped bothering about the uniqueness and appearance of its smartphones. Most of their devices have a similar design and almost identical characteristics, which, in other respects, does not spoil the overall picture and makes users buy their products. Everything is quite logical, since the smartphones of this company are relatively cheap and productive. One of the representatives of such gadgets is Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 release.

Characteristics and brief information

The model is considered a bright representative of budget options, but despite this, it has sufficient battery capacity and quite decent system parameters.Particular attention should be paid to RAM - the amount is large enough for this price category.

Detailed specifications

Appearance

As already mentioned, the design in this model is unremarkable, it has the usual shape - a rectangular plastic case, the corners of which are slightly rounded. Acceptable dimensions of the device:

• The height is 143 mm;
• Width - 72 mm;
• Thickness - 9.8 mm;
• Weight is approximately 160 grams.

There is a diagonal pattern on the back of the case that you can feel with your fingertip. The image is slightly convex and gives a stylish appearance.

Next to the front camera and speaker for conversations is a light indicator of events. Almost all parts of the case have a familiar look, and the elements and small parts are in the same places as their predecessors.

The right edge of the smartphone case carries the power button and volume control beacon, and the lower part is a multimedia speaker and a micro USB port. The navigation buttons are located on the screen itself - apparently, such a move was made for convenience and space saving. The standard 3.5mm audio jack is on the top. The device appears in three colors: white, gray and gold.

System

Given the fact that this model was created as a representative of standalone smartphones, the right decision turned out to be the installation of a 64-bit Mediatek mt6582 processor, which operates in conjunction with the Mali 400mp video processor. Such a core is quite enough to work with many modern applications, as well as to lift most heavyweight games.

Device memory

The smartphone is equipped with two gigabytes of RAM. Considering its cost, we can assume that this is a good indicator. Any ordinary user of this volume will be enough to run several serious applications at once.

The built-in memory of the smartphone has 16 GB. Taking into account system files and other processes, the user is left with a clean 11 GB, which is more than enough to download a mass of multimedia files, games and programs. If there is not enough free space, you can use a memory card - this smartphone supports a volume of 128 GB. There is a special slot for this memory card, and in the phone settings you can set the card as the main place for installing all the software.

Battery capacity

It was immediately known that the hallmark of this smartphone is a high battery capacity at a low price. As it became known, the battery has 4000 mAh - this figure is enough for a long time. And if we take into account the heavy loading of the phone, namely constant calls, the included WI FI network, surfing the Internet, watching videos and photos, then you can see that the battery will last for a day. This is quite impressive.

Moderate phone use will save approximately 2-3 days of battery life. This is taking into account the included video in Full hd mode with full brightness set and the Internet turned off.The battery is fully charged in two hours.

Regarding power consumption, it is worth noting that the device has a number of settings that set uniform charge consumption. In principle, this was the case in previous models, so there is nothing special here, but still convenient. The bottom line is that thanks to this function, the program distributes energy, and in the event of a critical decrease, it turns off all resource-intensive processes to save battery.

smartphone camera

The main camera takes very good shots. Its resolution is 13 megapixels. Light intensity level – F/ 2.0. In the arsenal, there is autofocus, which works quite quickly, as well as an average level of brightness of the LED flash. The camera program itself has good functionality, but despite this, it is easy to learn. Convenient and easy control gives you the opportunity to instantly change exposures, as well as focus adjustments. In addition, you can freely set the balance of white colors, contrast, sharpness and saturation.

In well-lit areas, the selection of white flowers occurs automatically and adjusts in the correct form. The footage has good color reproduction and sufficient contrast. In general, we can say that the pictures are of acceptable quality and have a good level of detail at medium and close distances.

If you carefully examine the pictures taken in the daytime, you can see a slight level of noise and graininess. This is obvious, since the smartphone itself is cheap and cannot have a high quality camera. This is compensated by the good quality of photography during subject shooting, as well as in the panorama - here the pictures are of high quality, the seams are not visible.

In principle, even in the dark, the pictures are of relatively good quality, which is very strange for such a camera.

What is worth noting as a drawback is the video mode. In this case, the quality is disgusting, and in general, the main camera shoots a maximum of HD resolution. Color reproduction is weak, there is almost no saturation, and clarity is not observed. The overall picture is dull and washed out.

The front camera is unexpectedly made to last, in its structure it is wide-angle, has 5 megapixels and takes pictures of acceptable quality.

Display

As for the screen, we can say the following - its diagonal is 5 inches, the number of dots is 1280 by 720, and there is also an ips matrix. In general, for budget options, this is a familiar picture. The quality of the picture on the screen causes only positive emotions - everything looks colorful and rich. With various tilts of the device in different directions, no glare or flickering will appear on the screen, and colors will not disappear. This indicates a good screen quality and a properly set matrix. If you set the screen brightness to a minimum, then the visual component will not lose its quality. The only thing that noticeably worsens the image is the direct sunlight that hits the screen. In this case, the picture loses its saturation, and the entire contents of the screen disappears in pale tones. The device has the ability to adjust the temperature, so everyone can set it to its maximum if there is a lack of color saturation, or vice versa, turn down the colors by minus.

It is worth noting a small minus of the screen.In some cases, the sensitivity of the display disappears and sometimes you have to literally poke your finger into the screen to launch applications or turn the page. Such a jamb is not observed on all representatives of this model. In the event of such a problem, it is recommended to go to the accessibility section in the device and set the sensitivity yourself.

Audio system

The main speaker of the smartphone is relatively loud and has an average sound quality. The speaker for talking is also considered good, it does not show excessive volume or deafness of sound. What is worth noting the disadvantage is the volume of the sound in the headphones. Even setting the volume level to maximum, the sound is interrupted by everyday noise.

Operating system

The main operating system in this device is Android version 5. The shell is emui 3.1 lite, which creates a not quite familiar interface for android. So to say, the reduced version does not have any additional features. The reason for this is the price of the device, because the full emui package is usually installed on devices of a higher price category. It is believed that work is underway to update this model to Android 6.1.

The smartphone has several additional features:

1. In an emergency, this device can be equipped in a powerbank. You can do this by going to the settings and setting special parameters.
2. If the screen is locked, you can enable video recording. To do this, press a certain number of times on the volume control. The combination is set in the settings.

Device communications

The smartphone has two slots for SIM cards under the back cover.The networks are 3G, 2G, GSM and WCDMA standards. A feature of the phone is the ability to support 4G networks. Among the wireless networks of the device are Bluetooth and WI-FI with a frequency of 2.4 GHz. The built-in modules include GPS and Glonas, thanks to which the smartphone can function as a navigator. The connection with the satellite is quite fast, around 14 seconds.

Results

Price category

As already mentioned, this device boasts not only solid hardware, but also an adequate price. You can buy this promising product from 135 to 200 dollars. It all depends on the configuration and parameters.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Excellent battery capacity;

It is worth noting that this smartphone has quite solid hardware, a good camera and an excellent display. Also worthy of praise is the high battery capacity and low cost of the device. However, do not forget about such problems as glitches with screen sensitivity and poor video quality. Such shortcomings are unacceptable even for cheap models.
