Huawei Y3II - User Reviews

  • Bought this cheaply, figured that i'll use it til i get a "good" phone. and used it 3 years now. - it's better than my $400 phone, and was less than $100

  • i bought this phone last week. I am very sastisfied with this phone. signal so strong. good battery back up for 2100 mah. so smooth and no heat. good job huawei.

  • is the very best just update android version

  • It is so wonderful phone.I have Micromax Q340.I don't download Fifa Mobile and Dream League Soccer 2019.But I can download most Play Store games and apps on Huawei Y3 II.

  • I bought this phone in October 2016 and I am still using it, about to change it. I did not know the display was going to be so bad. The image looks really cheap, blurry and washed out, pixel density is really poor and if you watch something in landscape mode, from one side the view angle causes the colors go inverted which is horrible. The battery was OK for 1 year, after that it started draining really fast. In 2018 if the phone was used to browse the internet, watch videos or just do anything, the batter would go from 100% to 0% in 20 minutes. For the last 1 year I have kept the phone in Ultra Battery Mode when I don't use it so it doesn't shut down on me when I'm out and need it. About a month ago I started noticing that the display was displaying some darker lines around white objects on the screen from one end of the screen to the other. About a week or two ago, the whole display started glitching in white lines making it almost impossible to see what is happening. Now I have to keep it max brightness to keep the white lines to a minimum. The performance is to be expected of a phone from this caliber - unless you set apps to not be cleaned from memory, as soon as you put them on the background, they will reset and you will lose where you were. Switching between apps can sometime take 1-2 seconds and can be really annoying. The other problem is that the touch screen is not very responsive so if you have sweaty hands (sometimes even if your hands a dry), it won't register touches or it will register them on a different place than where you pressed, which sometimes making typing text a huge pain, because it will either press a different letter than the one you want or straight up make the keyboard close. Overall the phone is garbage, if you have to buy it and have no other choice, use it for a year and get rid of it and try to sell it before it becomes like mine. The phone is really cheap and bad so know what you're getting your hands into.

  • okay...try this go to settings, choose storage and select to store and install apps to the mmc by default.

  • In this phone it doesnt allow memory cards to function I dont know why it says that the memory card is in and it says its in but when you want to download it says it doesnt have space

  • You can buy it on eBay. Just search “Huawei y3ii phone”

  • I have been using this phone like 2 years or more or less.. but bliv me this iz best in this budget segment ...for normal use and day 2 day purpose only ....

  • please tell me this is very problematic for me, how do I restore all my SD card? ... The card is in but the data is not in. I regret buying this Android is very bad even though there are lots of contents from the SD card but I have done whatever not successful

  • its the best for social apps but for amera and storage don't even try 5mp worst 4 GB ROM

  • Always check the GPU when buying your phone if you want to game. Huawei seems to be tied to Mali GPUs, not sure why. Mali absolutely sucks but Huawei doesn't seem to care, so why should you, right? Anyway here are the 2 variants for this phone. 4G model: Mali-T720MP2 (a little bit newer than the next one) 3G model: Mali-400MP2 Choose the 4G model if you want to play a few less-demanding games. Forget something like PUBG. If you play this you will have to set graphics to low. Forget about the Mali 400. It blows like nothing else does. Mali is worse off than iPhone 4s. Imagine that.

  • I have been using this phone for almost a year now and I love it

  • Can anyone tell me, do you recommend the phone for music, social apps and a few games, normal usage?

  • I've been using this phone for months now and trust me, I can't find any reasons to regret having the phone.

  • My own phone doesn't has 4G and internal storage only 4gb... frustrated.

  • It is mt6735 and using it

  • I have a question... Here it says that the 4G phone model has the MTK6735 proccessor, but when I search other articles to find a proper rom to flash, all of them say that it has the MTK 6752 instead... Can anyone explain me what's going on ? Thanks in advance!

  • My phone not sported 4G lte

  • drian means finsh charging battry very quicly

  • I think mine might not be an exemption from the face recognition in huawei lua u22

  • how much did u get it pls

  • So many different y3II, I thought I was buying a cheap 4G phone, in an emergency after breaking the screen on my daily drive, got it home and found out different. So I decided to play with it. Mine is LUA-U03. (didn't research it well enough) Sucks that so many Y3II exist. Huawei don't support this phone, if u brick it u cannot get a stock firmware. I had to use a Micromax Q380 aicp custom rom to recover this phone from a self imposed disaster. I would like to see what the stock rom performs like but the best I can do is an AOSP vanilla rom. This would be one of the few Huawei's that you can't get a stock firmware for. Probably the last Huawei I will ever own. Fixed my screen and now this thing is a toy. but not a favourite toy.

  • what do you mean by drain?

  • I have this phone and it is very good and fast, mine is MTN model with 4G LTE and google apps and version 5.1 infact huawei is the largest telecommunication company in the world,check that on wikipedia.I pray that it will soon be upgraded.Glory be to Jesus and Honour to Mary.

  • The battery drain so fast!!

  • its two versions 3G and 4G (LTE)

  • why my phone not have LTE..?

  • Mine too 😔 And also can't read the mmc 😞

  • Bought this phone yesterday and so far, very good. Does everything that I want, is easy to use and came at a very reasonable price.

  • I'm very pleased with this phone. I do in fact read eBooks on it, using a reader called eBook prestige. It's neat and tidy and everything works well.

  • I bought this phone yesterday and I am very impressed with it. Has a beautiful interface, ample memory for a non tech person, sound quality is commendable, the internet works pretty well, the camera pixels are on par with other phones. I'd recommend this phone to anyone. 9/10 for Huwaei!

  • Which one is better, Huawei Y5C or Huawei Y3II. I want to read ebooks in my phone principally.

  • I bought a new Huawei LUA-U03 a few days ago. I asked for a dual SIM but it isn't. WiFi connection is good at home, but it will not connect to any mobile (cell) network except in a very few places like the middle of the city. I live 100 km out, near a tower but even if I drive up to it - no signal. I have swapped SIM cards (same carrier) - card works everywhere in my old dumb phone but not in the U03. So - it will make a connection in the city and next to another tower near the road on my way home. But will not connect to the tower near my house operated by the same carrier. Other people in the village have no problem making a connection. Doesn't sound like a SIM card problem, so what is it?

  • mine is 4G instead of 8, why

  • my huawei isnt connecting to my wifi .......why

  • Just bought a new handset though I'm wondering why mine is a single Sim when the specifications give dual Sim. It's nice however.

  • 4G support

  • how is the selfie quality

  • i have y 3 II :D best is huawei

  • The photo from the camera is blurry when I snap it.its wasn't good quality camera I better buy Samsung j1 than this huawei y3ii.

  • i need this fone with 2 sim where can i get

  • Hello ! any Phone has its, The ROM separate some capacity for Android OS then descrese the internal storage at least 4GB,if you want extra storage you must to buy SD Card Thank you ! sorry for my english

  • I am using this phone for 18 months my big problem with this phone is its internal memory it's 8Gb but the available memory for my is 4Gb which isn't good you can install few apps and you will getting a warning that no more space so its annoying the radio fm on this phone is the worst experience you will not receive any updates from huawei so you will stuck at android 5.1 with EMUI 3.1 Lite the battery is very bad i know it's just 2100 but it drops so fast event with wifi only the good things about this phone it's a budget phone for 100 euro which runs 4G connections the apps runs good except for the official facebook apps which is lags the gaming is good using this phone don't expect so much things from a budget phone

  • The internal memory reads 8GB but you only have 4GB to work with, which fills up so fast. This phone is terrible!

  • my Huawei y3 II is a l21 version it runs asphalt 8 with lag but doesn't change the graphics so it lags a lot but my friend has the u22 model and it runs perfectly fine on his phone what to do?

  • Is there anyone who has updated y3ii(3G) from lollipop to marshmallow? If yes then please let me know,how it's working.

  • hi . how is the internal memory on this phone? can u have apps and how is the phone generally

  • Y3ii

  • I really like this phone but there is just one problem... The red hues in all the apps and home screen are purple. I don't know if I can fix it but, but I need help. Does anyone know what to do?

  • The phone isn't that bad for budget users but it is quite (very) slow when apps are updated to their latest versions. The camera is okay for an urgent matter (like taking a photo and sending an email). Huawei claims that this phone has a total 8.00GB of internal storage but unfortunately it is actually 4.13GB. The screen consumes way too much battery and the display isn't comparable to a Samsung one (or even a Xiaomi which is a low budget phone). Apps like Facebook are very slow and they always lag. It is recommended to download Google Keyboard app for a better keyboard. However, surprisingly large apps (games more specifically) work perfectly (Ex:-NFS13 [Need for Speed Most Wanted] and WWE 2K [WWE 2K15]. By the way, PSP games don't work very well. Furthermore, it would be better to have an SD Card (16GB for example to move all apps into it and save internal storage). The rainbow light in this is super cool and it is allowed to be changed by the app "Rainbow Light". An English dictionary app is missing in this phone. A factory designed rubber and plastic mixed protection cover is also available in the market. The sound system is brilliant and with all these features included with the drawbacks, personally I suggest the Huawei Y3II LUA-U22 for a budget smart phone user.

  • battery -7/10 (as expected from 2100mah) Music-average. RAM-experienced a 512 Mb ram,though they said 1GB Camera-DONt DARE to BUY this

  • good phone for a budget user , unless if you dont have a sd card the phone will ask for storage cleaning as a saying we cant put a trucks load into a car

  • I agree that if your aim is storage and camera so don't buy this model , otherwise it's good device

  • Yes I intend to buy from Globacom too

  • So which phone do I go for considering battery and pictures

  • Search for the Stock ROM by putting in your model details online. One of the results should be from the Huawei website directly. Download the ROM. From previous experience with Stock ROMs, you should have to unzip the main file, and one of the contents should be a PDF with instructions on how to go about reloading your ROM. Otherwise, download the file & search on You Tube for how to go about reloading a Stock ROM for the model you have. Even if You Tube results aren't for your exact phone, a similar one will give you a good indication on how to go about it. Alternatively, search online for how to root your phone & load a Custom ROM on afterwards. XDA Developers and/or Modaco should or might have options for your phone.

  • is a good phone ,only to found out that it lost software when i go to fix it they said it can't be fixed i'm so disappointed on it now my heart bleed.is there anything i can do?

  • if u buy this phone ur a tottaly dunky. cuz they said it has 8gb but its not. its has 4gb, even u use only 2gb for ur app and media, it is pic of shit. i wast my money. i hate huwei.....

  • I have one! an annoying piece of junk. It does not power down automatically. the screen keeps burning battery. It constantly turns itself on in my pocket and randomly plays videos. The flash light keeps turning itself on in my pocket.. And its latest trick was to change operating language on me. since I don't speak Indonesian that was a real pain. I had to go on line and google instructions on how to change it back. If I was relying on the phone I would have been screwed.

  • Hi guys Which one should I buy Huawei y3ii or blu studio g2

  • I got my Huawei Y3ii in December and love it. But, storage of 8gigs is not good. Limiting the number of apps you can download. If you store your contacts on the phone (with more details incl email etc) it quickly uses a lot of space and I'm constantly having to delete apps and transfer contacts to sim which I don't like. So for just using casually, it's brilliant, but as a mini office, the storage is very limiting. Storage cards help with photos, but you can't put your apps on them.

  • Are the pictures blurry???

  • is it the one Globacom is offering that you want to buy?

  • I enjoy using this phone, but my complaint is on battery life and the camera when you try to pictures during the night, they become blurry and unclear. Pretty much it is a smart phone👍

  • I bought this in October 2016 and so far it's good. I don't use the camera, so I don't care that its only 5MP. My only complaint is the screen, other than that the phone is fine. If you want to browse websites, read news, play some games (I mostly play Weiqi and text-based RPGs so I don't waste a lot of battery) and read books, this phone is perfect. Like I said - the only drawback for me is that the screen is subpar.

  • Are you serious? I intends to buy one Y3 4G phone tomorrow.

  • If you are interested in camera and battery, forget this phone because you are gonna be dissapointed

  • my y3II Can`t supported sd card properly It become hang and mobile cann`t work....

  • How is selfie camera. Are pics clean like Samsung when you take one ?

  • I don't know

  • HUAWEI Y3 ii has 2100 mAh battery capacity HUAWEI Y5 has the same HUAWEI Y3 rus on Android 5.1 HUAWEI Y5 runs on the same os HUAWEI Y3 has a 4.5 screen size display HUAWEI Y5 has a 5.0 screen size display HUAWEI Y3 has 4GB ROM HUAWEI Y5 has 8GB ROM HUAWEI Y3 has 5MP back and 2MP frount camera HUAWEI Y5 has 8MP back and 5MP frount camera With the above break down of the specifications of the two models, it should be able to lead you through which one to for. Both models are better but, it depends on your desires and which one you can afford for. Thanks....

  • Is there anyway you should compear a 5000 mAh battery to 2100 mAh battery capacity. I think you were just miss thinking and over expecting. However, I have equally used Tecno L8 and L8 plus. That's a device with a 5.5 screen size, so if Tecno gave you 5000 mAh battery in that model doesn't mean HUAWEI should give you same in their Y3 ii model. I recently used the HUAWEI Y3 ii, that's a device with a 4.5 screen size. With the 2100 mAh battery, to me it was ok not poor. I was impressed with the battery performance despite the fact that I am a heavy user. If you need a high battery capacity device from HUAWEI smart phones, then go for HUAWEI G Power or HUAWEI G Power Y6. Moreover, you should know that if we were to talk about software and graphics in smart phones, HUAWEI has it higher and better than Tecno. HUAWEI should be reated as grandfathers to Tecno and not the way you compeared them, that's my point. I am not a fan to HUAWEI nither Tecno but, I wish to let you know that that's the rob. Thanks.

  • wanted to get this fone but was put off by the battery life. 2100mah is too poor compared to my tecno L8 with a 5050mah

  • I bougtht this model, the screen looks nice, I dont need internet very much. Despite that fact the battery life was too short, having to recharge everyday. I had to disable some features, and lower retroilumination to the halve, now the phone can resit two days. I know it is not even close to the 30 days in the old days of nokia, but now i am happy. Thank you gsmarena for the acurate data.

  • How long battery can go?

  • my y3ll fall down and glass break...how much to change the cover and glass??

  • Well but battery is not satisfactory.Power reduces rapidly.

  • I am using Y3 || almost for 3months and I recommend anyone who wants to buy

  • I am using this phone as a standby as my Galaxy Note 4 got some ROM issue. The mobile is able to withstand for the whole day. Mobile has a power optimization option which kills the apps by default (you can exclude few apps). I am very much happy with the battery performance compared to Note 4. On the other side, mobile takes more time to charge.

  • i have samsung core prime one guy asked me tp exchange the Huawei y3 2 what should i do shell i ex or no my core prime held me...

  • y5C is far better....

  • This mobile is not good. Whatsapp calls no support. Always breaking voice though there is good signal. Worst mob I had seen. Samsung duos 2 mob is better than this mobile though there is low features

  • How time talk this phone is? Battary duration?

  • Actually the phone performance is good. But real problem is it's battery.

  • how to copy photes to Pc

  • Of course it does... in settings

  • Do this support the multitouch

  • Does it have the optyon encrypt android?!?!

  • yes

  • I agree that the phone screen is dark & for a 8 gig storage its really poor.

  • You need use it as a standby phone not a main phone.

  • is it dual sim?

  • The internal memory is the pits. I've installed 5 apps from the app store that I need & now it's constantly telling me the memory is full & unable to update & the apps are on the mirco sd to not take up space. It's all being used by the OS.

  • Huawei Y5C OR Huawei Y3II Which one is better?

  • battery too too too bad and it's 4Gb internal not 8

  • battery is to much bad

  • the manufacturershould look into developing a stronger longer lasting battery

  • Great phone

  • bad experience slow and drained from 100% to 30% after 20mins of calls also 8GB internal consume for the unwanted app which cannot delete so 4gb only can use by the user.

  • no

  • 4gb is uses for the system so the rest 4gb is useable by the user.every phone works on the same principle

  • what about the battery... how long can u make calls... for me it dont last even a hour talked for 20 mins & battery gets drained from 100 to zero

  • No...

  • Battery very bad not even two call battery gets drained . gets charged fast but battery drain very quick charged 100 percent made two call lasting 20 mins battery full down....

  • Yes and works very good phone I got kniw issues with it

  • I want to know... Huawei y3 2 Working otgdevice??? Plz tell me it

  • When I bought it, it was quite fast and good. And for the asking price it was a real bargain. It came with Android 5.0. At some point it started giving my notifications about a system update, that would install Android 5.1. After this update, the phone became much slower. Now everything on the phone is slower, and Facebook hangs often. So if you buy this phone, remember to NOT run the update!

  • You want to know more ... go to : --- Need Help ... ring technical Support your area .... they are friendly and helpful and free..... --- --- 25 March 2017

  • Lol

  • Do not buy this phone if you live in an area of above 40% humidity. The screen is poor quality and the 2, 5, 8 and 0, will not work in the humidity. I have had situations where I have been locked out of the phone due to entering the wrong password repeatedly (it wouldn't LET me enter it) and where the screen becomes completely unresponsive and I cannot hang up after a call. The screen is extremely poor quality to the point I am probably going to return it. I know others with this phone who have had the same problem. Also, note, there is NO NFC.

  • Resolution is crap... Everything wroks fine If budget low then u can try

  • At the beginning , have some minor problem with using it. After I download the manual from the Website ,... open my mind a little bit with some instruction. .I open try all the button and Click the 3 horizontal line .... I became familiar with it. The manual need , more to add ...... Suggestion to more improve the MANUAL with ... clicking the 3 horizontal line to get more information. The other things , if you have trouble , the TECHNICAL SUPPORT is free and well informed.! ! Try it. Good luck to HUAWEI user 23 March 2017

  • I highly recommend you don't buy this phone as it has many issues. If you scroll through your recent calls log while talking to someone during a call the microphone is muted and the caller can't hear you. Again during a call you are unable to turn the data for the internet on or off. I had to call the network operator to reconfigure the phone today because callers were hanging up prematurely but then found out after a month that in fact that the first and second ringer tone the phone wouldn't ring and after the fifth ringer tone the phone would stop ringing and a network audio message would tell the caller that I was unavailable. The phone when bought new comes with no instructions book to help you learn the complicated menu navigation and features of the phone. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.

  • this phone is good and have a rainbow light....I Has been use this phone for song and game and it run perfectly..

  • i don't have any issue with the phone, just that the back glass covering the lens is a bit fragile....Above all, the battery lasts like mad, it drains as slow as 2-3 days but charges as fast as 2hrs

  • say 8gb but 4 gb memory obly. foolish

  • this phone looks good.but the problem is only battery.otherwise great phone in decent price

  • The battery power isn't very good. It drains quickly but charges quickly too.u can plah heavy games like gt racing 2 etc easily but will heat up. Playing games while charging it will heat it up very quickly. Been using for 6 months.otherwise the battery and a bit heating issue.the phone's performance is pretty good

  • You can turn it off by the rainbow light app or in settings.go in the app and click on status indicator and turn it off. Otherwise it will work when phone is turned off and charged.turning off from music blink will stop it to turn on while playing music.

  • This is a good phone

  • Turn off tge rainbow light

  • No, This model does not have direct video calling. But you can make video call via facebook Messenger, Whatsapp etc apps easily.

  • Does this phone support video calling?

  • Lenovo B a2016 4g LTE and with 6.0 android is better in this low end range

  • Battery life sucks bro pls don't go for this phone pls pls ......but of you have a power bank then it's a good phone

  • Huawei Y560U02 is better and cheaper than this. it has 8 mp front cam with auto focus

  • Go for Lenovo B a2016 a low end phone in 4g same price

  • This phone has horrible battery endurance (it needs charging several times a day even with moderate use), inferior display and also there is no compass senzor so it is bad for navigation.

  • Haven't 4G connection !

  • batarry capacity is not good........very bad

  • Hey can u please tell me how to download themes

  • I bought this phone as a temporay phone to use till I decided on what good one I wanted. It turned out this one did everything I needed at good speed and picture quality. Best budget phone I've come across Battery last all day with messaging, surfing web and a little netflix. 4g version

  • Can it b used for skype and to email attachments???Is the battery better than Samsung S6790 which I charge 2 to 3 times daily.Need phone for mostly for internet and email attachments and want use for video??

  • Great phone for the price ($70 AUD). Used it while my usual phone was being fixed. Strong build, both body and screen were scratch free and did not show any wear and tear after two weeks of solid use. Speaker was loud and battery life was very good compared to my LG G3. The only quirk that annoyed me was that the bottom left button, which usually shows running apps, instead showed the menu. For the low price, you can't really expect any more.

  • Great phone for Low Price....I Like it....

  • Its not duel sim

  • I don't see the slot for the second simcard

  • The battery of this phone is disappointing, have to be recharged almost twice while busy browsing sometimes the phone heats up terribly

  • My first Huawei phone, and I must say I'm impressed. I bought this as a replacement for my lost phone while still in contract, so originally wanted something to get me by. I appreciate the simplistic design, size and weight of the device. Feels solid and comfortable in your hand. The software is stable and so far battery life appears to be good for day to day activities. At this price point, this is an excellent phone and I will certainly be considering a Huawei device when my contract is up.

  • I would highly recommend huawei y3ll , iys only problem is battery duration, it really drains fast but the speed and everthing else is super. Galaxy j1 is one hell of a problem when it comes to speed, just open two apps and the phone lags and drags itself like a snail, sometimes even to the point of restarting while in the middle of operation, i had it once and for all.

  • good deal

  • itsbattery will drain fast, because it has a mediatek processor.

  • Does this model has a light sensor for auto brightness level adjustment?

  • i am enjoying my HUAWEI Y3II, IT consumes lot of power if busy playing games. other than that joooooo the phone is gooooooood hey

  • why my huawei y3ii consume battry relly fast ??? any one explian ....

  • Yes, the phone has autofocus. The battery is quite good. It can go through the day with the wifi on.

  • Is the battery endurance that poor? I have limited budget,and i'm interested in this phone.Because the audio performance is good.But there are many complains about the battery.It confuses me

  • I want to know if this phone has autofocus

  • agreed

  • Maybe the phone is reacting a bit slow and you feel like you need to press it twice, it can feel a bit slow to me, but this only happens when you fill the storage.

  • Why do need to double click when I open icon? How to fix it in setting?

  • Yes..it has good quality but the battery dissapointed me..it loss very quickly

  • I love this phone its got good specs for a good price double thumbs up.it fast and the lollipop moves smoothly... I think we have a winner on our hands. :)

  • no.its otg unsupported..

  • It's OGT support?

  • 4G version : G-Sensor, L-Sensor, proximity-sensorelectronic (3G version: G-Sensor, L-Sensor)

  • I used to have J1, I couldn't have two apps open at the same time. I currently own Y3ii and I'm very pleased with it. No lags, good performance.

  • hello guys. I want to buy a smartphone and i am confused which one to buy between Huawei Y3ii and Samsung Galaxy J1 2016? Both of them are dual sim phones, I dont know which one is better? Battery duration, Display quality and camera performance is important for me. Kindly instruct me...

  • i want to use Jio 4g how to activate 4g in this model????

  • I've 3G version (lua-u23) dual sim, its good in camera screen but im disappointed with battery its drains so fast when using two sims. Starting at 7am it drains at 5pm to 10% with moderate using (no gaming, no music) just whatsapp, calling and surfing not much. Vibration is set

  • How is the camera performance? And how is the lcd performance when it used for playing HD videos or standard video with 360p?

  • Is that bad the LCD quality? how is the lcd performance when it used for playing HD video on youtube or playing standard video,such 3gp,mp4 with 360p?

  • It was a big mistake

  • The phone is ok and yeah..i think the display could be better..bit strain to my eyes.. but cool is that there is this rainbow light thingy...cool stuff... 3G version is ok..overall good phone with budget in mind.

  • i have bought this phone, 3G model, every thing is ok or good, between 1 to 10, i will give 7 to this phone. 3 cores that is was not give is for LCD quality, is too bad. (on watching video you will think something goes wrong! you can not look straight! why huawei used this shit on this device!?? except lcd, every thing is very good and will satisfy you. cpu speed is ummmmm.. too fast!!! gpu is good lcd touch is good, no problem was seen. battery life is good, but if you want to play,depend on the game, will empty soon, about 4 to 6 hours! web search with 3g will 4 to 5 hours but with wifi will takes about 6 or 7 hours watching video? i have not tested! Good looking phone! really is Stylish! Gold color is more stylish! easy key feauture is lovely! you can set 3 duty on 1 key! one press do or run what, twice press and press on hold for 1 sec. dual flash makes good light, camera quality is good!!! i have captured some pics, on the son light this camera will takes wow! on the house with lamp lights, good pics. it will be useful 5mp. video on full hd 1080 is good. ui is one layer, if you want have two layer, you can install Asus ZenUI Launcher,with ios icon pack, after install ZenUI you will think ZenUI is maded for this phone!!!!!! for all phones you can install it, but it needs 4.4 android or above. low price, good things!! except LCD!

  • I want to buy this phone , As Huawei website describes, they launched 2 models of Y3II - 3G (MT6582M) with 1.3 MHz Quad core and 4G (MT6735M) with 1.0GHz. . . . which model is more effecient for battery usage? and overall performance wise ?

  • The worst phone ever used. Don't buy this shit! Just a waste of money.

  • How is the camera performance jf it compares to 5 MP by Samsung j1 ace?

  • This is cool mobile for budget price. Led blinks is fun.

  • Not true. 4G is 64bit CPU n 3G is 32bit CPU. 4G version run bit faster

  • I installed battery and one sim, now i want to insert my second sim, the battery is not coming out easily, I cannot take it out with my nails and I used knife instead if my nails. :(

  • only 3GB installation space provided by company, how to increase the size..?

  • Battery timing is not good, I agree.

  • huawei y3ii nice app light nice!

  • Buy a mulika mwizi

  • I don't understand your situation, this phone come with the battery out of the phone. You have to put the battery in the phone buy your self and of course is very easy to take out with just one nails.

  • No, the 4g unit have newer generations processor and while is 1ghz compared to 1,3ghz of 3g model is more powerful and with better power efficiency.

  • The gps in this phone is very good even compare to dedicated gps unit! They lock position in 5-6 seconds without network!!..

  • The gps in this phone is the best even compare to dedicate gps!! They lock position without network in just 5-6 second!!! This phone is the best cheap phone, period!!

  • I plan to buy this phone. Is the GPS working fine?

  • Good

  • I bought this today and I have a hard time removing the battery, and it still doesn't come off. Could anyone please tell me how to take the off from this phone?

  • It is true.....

  • Most new phones do not come with headset. Maybe they are consider as accessories

  • Do you get head phone along with this???? it is confused ? Small booklet mentioned in the box with 6 months guarantee the head set..., it was missing ?

  • how is the 5mp camera quality?

  • Processor is more powerful in the 3g=> 1.3ghz quad-core than the 4g version 1.0ghz quad-core

  • I agree. Very well said! :-)

  • I love this phone. Fast, good screen, no problem with battery at all. I keep it on charge overnight, it is 100% battery in morning. On Utube, there is an interesting review on how good this phone is, and the standby battery life.

  • If your Mobile has 4g, and your phone can access a 4g network, 4g is faster Internet browsing, downloads etc. 3g is fast. 4g is lightning fast. :-)

  • I saw a review on utube about that. Because of software design, no lights on these keys, but over time and use, you will get used to it :-)

  • Hi Friends, i need to buy a simple budget phone..bt i m confused whether huawei y3 ll or samsung j2 2015 ...please suggest me ur opinions...

  • I buy this phone the last week, i come from windows Nokia 1520, and i decided to abandoned windows phone as they lost the race with many bags lags and to take forever to updates, special and the narrow-pathetic numbers of apps. I don't want to spend to much money and so i take the Y3 ii. Well, in the beginning i don't wait as a cheap phone, to run smooth and without some problems but now i know that is one of the best phone even to compete with double of that price!! I use continues the first day for 4,5 hours to uninstall what i don't want and install what i want, i browsing internet, and all this time i am on line and the battery use only 18%!!! Now they give me 2-2,5 days with heavy use and 3-4 with normal!! I run antutu to make a speed test and the results is 25.200!! My daughter's LG spirit, which cost double, their score is 21.000! The sound in the speaker is so clean and loud, even my Nokia 1520 is second to this! The android use just 250mb of ram and with running apps i have 450-500mb free!! Of course the display is not top with a bit of bluish but is ok, the camera is ok also and special the selfie one.

  • I have same problem, I'm losing 30%-40% every night, phone not usable due to this problem.

  • Don't worry, camera is terrible too ;-)

  • My front camera is great for photos

  • Battery drops 10% every 13,minutes. I have one

  • whats it maximum internet speed?

  • How is the 3G Version better? Please Explain.

  • Don't buy 3G version go for 4G price is same but specs are much better

  • well looking its price it offers some good features like large speaker, dual led flash, easy key and rainbow light. But it got some terrible display. You can not take a photo by holding it straight as its display fades. I ll not recommend this if you want a decent display

  • I'm negative about the charge. Everything is fine just without the battery. It is okay for staying standby but whenever you use and whatever you use it keeps draining charge very faster than necessary. Like you cannot use it more than one-hour using wifi.

  • It can move apps to sd card or no? '

  • I have bought the 4g model (Quad-core 1.0 GHz+Mali-T720MP2) and it's a very nice phone Pro: *no slowing no lagging *no overheating *very good battery *great sound *acceptable camera for it's price Con: *poor display *Bloatware apps

  • Android system ,cache and temporary files space take about 4GB, the rest is what you see

  • Hi, i am thinking of buying either this phone Y3II (3G) or the Y5II (3G), how is the quallity of the rear camera on this phone Y3II? I dont care about front cam since i´m not into selfies... How about the battery life in normal use (Internet browsing, whatsapp, some apps..), does it last easily 2 or 3 days as some reviewer mentioned on youtube? I am asking this because good battery life and decent camera are the main features i+m looking in my next phone. Thank you!

  • Hi!I don't have a heavy budget for another smart phone as I'm already using Lumia 1020, its good but battery drains too fast about in 2 to 3 hours at continues web browsing, so I want a phone in 10000 R.s , would it be a better choice, as battery is only 2100mah....or should I go for infinix hot 3? Plz guide

  • Best phone to use battery on standby. uses only 1% battery for approx. 12 hours standby time. Best ever phone for its price, no lagging, no freezing, no heat generation. AWSOME

  • Best phone on this price... Good battrey life.. Excelent phone.. thank u huawei...

  • I bought this phone in NZ...took it home, wouldn't start...took it back to the shop, and they replaced it...2nd phone wouldn't start either....now using Huawei 525-L11. Excellent so far, but 4GB internal is a bit too small.

  • very nice phone

  • go to settings>protected app and mark applock... it will solve your applock issue

  • in slot2 it access internet 2G only . what is problem of my phone, if problem is 'setting' what prcedure to follow in order to solve this problem?

  • i bought it yesterday..super phone..best phone in this price..

  • Maybe your phone has a problem. Ive had mine for couple weeks now and it never gets hot, my works fine and Im very happy with it.

  • after using 5 minutes its hot. any solution

  • the phone is usable . but some problem happens. firstly storage problem. 1) installed apps use internal memmory. 2)applock softwares dont work properly. 3)network is worse than other phones, even a normal symphony's network service is better than it.

  • best in prize .. but screen is small 4.5"

  • usually 8GB will left only 4GB++ for your storage . android system will take 3GB++ to run the phone. my phone 4GB only left 750MB. but still good for normal use and will keep an eye for this phone as well. my phone is sony xperia e1. my first lovely android phone.

  • Maybe u bought an old model..Y3c..not Y3cII?

  • @ mathou: yes it does. You can make speech to text. I just tried it out now.

  • I bought this phone yesterday. I did lots of oline research and decided this is the best value phone for the money. It cost me 3090 Thai baht, and there's no other phone at that price with the same quality & specs. Been playing around with it for 24 hours now and I'm delighted with it. The photos are good, sound is good, I like the flashing lights effects. The battery does drain fairly fast with heavy use but is excellent on standby. I don't think this phone would be too suitable for a heavy gammer, or general heavy use, but for general use it's outstanding value for money.

  • does the text have a little mic so you can do voice text

  • I have bought it last friday night from bashundhara shopping complex. The problem is that suddenly it auto restarted. battery drains faster.

  • rainbow light for funny :-)

  • Best foon for the price. Outstanding battery performance on standby and overall.

  • Battery drain fast too

  • this model is made for fast gunner like me who use to travel a lot in UK by walk. for the past 6 years.B-)

  • might think for this model, did the battery drain that fast? using sony now for 2 year plus already. still work in almost best contidion, even the battery still standing. but now sony even the basic model cost almost 1 times the price compare with 3 years ago. wait then for nokia comeback on september with android. may be get a sumsung. I heard the respond quit well.

  • i agree 100 %

  • Yeah. Battery drains fast. Dissapointed about that

  • why not fixit :(

  • Hi, I've bought this phone couple of weeks ago. So far I'm pretty happy with the performance. The Camera is not that good though, still the phone is worth buying. :)

  • cause your phone is the 3g model .maybe!

  • even im going to buy this.its worthy.camera in the front is superb.good quality.

  • Can i use more than one day when data is on ???

  • I am using SAMSUNG J1 (2016) , free RAM is around 400 to 440MB, but the phone never hang like what you said.
