Smartphones Huawei Y6 and Y6 Prime - advantages and disadvantages

Many phone models are produced every year, one of these are two new budget versions: the Huawei Y6 and Y6 Prime smartphone - the advantages and disadvantages of which will be discussed below. We will also talk about the criteria for choosing a smartphone.

Smartphone selection

Basic parameters for buying a phone

1. By price. First of all, you should decide on the amount that is available for a future purchase. Phones are divided into three categories: for calls, budget models and expensive smartphones.
2. Operating system.They choose mainly from five operating systems: Symbian (developed by Nokia - now not very popular), Android (the most common, but sometimes it crashes), Apple iOS (phones from this company), Blackberry OS (developed in 1999), Windows Phone (analogue for smartphones). There are many other operating systems out there. But it is better to choose models with these operating systems, so that later there will be no problems finding a service center. For business people, WP is suitable, and for games and all sorts of bells and whistles - Android, it has a lot of applications and an affordable price. If a person needs a reliable and productive device, then BOS is chosen. In terms of finance, it is cheaper, but not a bad gadget with SOS. And the wealthy segments of the population choose the iPhone.
3. Gadget power. Determined by the characteristics of the processor and RAM. Power depends on the frequency, measured in gigahertz. Also affects the number of cores. So far, developers have not learned how to greatly increase the processor power, so the difference in the criterion in expensive and cheap models is not significant. But the RAM may be slightly different. Measured in gigabytes. In order for the phone to work correctly, a sufficient amount of OP is put into it to maintain performance. On budget models, the most powerful processors are: Mediatek MT 6795, Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 and 801.

Additional selection criteria for buying a phone

1. The time that the battery holds. Measured in mA/h. The higher this indicator, the longer the gadget works. But by standards, the phone normally holds a charge with a battery of 2000 - 4000 milliamps. If the price is low, and the manufacturer indicates more than four thousand mAh, then the phone can quickly fail. This is a publicity stunt.
2. Device memory.The best option is at least 8 GB of internal memory and the use of an additional flash drive. Budget devices can function normally with micro-USB up to 128 gigabytes. Although some models set a smaller maximum allowable extension size.
3. Photo and video quality. It is necessary to remove the object with the phone and enlarge it as much as possible, if it blurs, then the quality is low. They also look at characteristics such as megapixels and aperture (the amount of light captured). It is necessary to choose that the first indicator is combined with the second.
4. Screen options. Brightness and saturation depends on the diagonal, pixel density, type and resolution. Four inches are enough for calls and simple functions, up to six inches for active games and watching movies, and about five inches for surfing websites and books. With a higher resolution, the picture will be transmitted more clearly. Pixels are placed on every inch of the screen. The most saturated and bright will be a smartphone with a Super Amoled screen.
5. Gadget brand. In terms of reliability, image quality and service centers, Samsung, Sony, LG, Lenovo, etc. stand out in Russia. If the duration of work is important, then Lenovo, Philips, Fly will do. Meizu and Xiaomi are the most productive and cheap. In order to show their financial status, they choose an iPhone.
6. The most acceptable degree of protection is IP67. Phones with Gorilla Glass are also reliable. If the gadget is made without it, then you can order additionally. The screen will withstand both scratches and bumps. The case is chosen from metal, and for plastic you will need a case.

Everyone chooses a smartphone for himself according to the appropriate parameters.
