Huawei Y5 lite (2018) - User Reviews

  • I'm from Iran. it's trash. (Huawei Y5 Lite) very slow. in everything. Hangs, disability in opening apps and worst of them failure in (middle of) running apps. built-in camera app and other built-in apps are very poor designed. quality of it's plastic frame is very bad. finger print stays everywhere, in back frame and in front LCD. camera at back frame is out of frame. it's clear that it is an engineering mistake! very ugly. my phone has some noise in it's headphone jack. (I don't know it's only for me or it's for all. I mean it may be another engineering mistake or from it's poor quality.) the slowness is as much as you give up working with it. (I had a xiaomi 4 with very cheaper price and very better quality. very better. and I will sell this trash as soon as I can.)

  • this phone is for those who have low budget. If you want one with a really good performance, please buy those flagship phones. Don't expect to get the same quality for way different prices. We get what we pay for. Just saying.

  • xiaomi redmi go it's the best of them see the comments in redmi go user opinion

  • Same problem ,,, we need someone help us

  • Same issue guy's

  • Useless phone, not worth the price, it can not play most games, and I am not talking about games like pubg or high spec games, I am talking about pixel games, literally, games this phone should be able to run but it does not. The only games I can play are Chess and Sudoku. Also it reboots apps everytime you exit, so you can not work on things while on this phone, it is useless for me, it is for people who only use social medias.

  • I can't play any games on it. Trash

  • Same problem here.. I need a vpn to call people in international places i try to use vpn but it disconnects the moment i close the app... Someone please help!

  • I have used many phones but I can boldly say this is the worst in my list.

  • Same problems here......... killing apps in the backgroud, even when you change the settings about battery usage, random crushes, or simply not even starting the app i want to use, and nothing complicated, im talking about messaging apps here such as gmail or viber andso on.....music stops when u close the screen, restart wont help neither...... this device is worthless. Annoying af, and when it finally starts to work every once in a while, you get this message about successfully freeing up 15mb of memory, hurray.... I hate it with all my hearth, not joking, dont buy this and u'll live longer

  • This phone is very bad very slow 😡 I loss my money🤣

  • I enjoyed this phone :)

  • i used this phone its really bad in pubg lite is very lag and any time take me a crash :(

  • WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PHONE TO ANYBODY. I used the Huawei Y3II before this and I can say that I enjoyed it so much better even though it's supposed to be less superior. The camera specs say 8 at the back and 5 for the selfie but it really doesn't take good pictures. In fact, the 5MP camera is better than the 8MP and that confuses me. Don't bother trying to take pictures in the dark because the quality is absolute crap. Trying to zoom in? Don't try it. You can barely see a thing when you do so. Apps crash every single day and I find myself restarting the phone with the hope that it'll help. Guess what? It doesn't. And no it's not a storage problem. The phone just makes no sense. For a while I thought my internet service provider was the one with the problem but guess what? I changed to another and the phone is still unbearably slow. I have to keep putting it on airplane mode and turning it back on. I do this EVERY SINGLE DAY and at least twice every hour. Unacceptable! The battery? Poor. Takes basically an hour for it to run down from 100% to 20% I can't minimize apps and go back to meet them how I left them. Every time you minimize an app, it reloads. Take Chrome or even Twitter for example. If I minimize it and I go back, the page reloads. I cannot begin to explain how disgusting this is. Can I just get back to what I was doing?? The answer is no. I don't use the actual music app because I use Apple music but if I have to I can't pause, stop or change songs when the app isn't open. Rubbish! THIS PHONE IS NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY. DO NOT BUY. DO NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE. I miss my Huawei Y3II :(

  • Dose it sports volte?

  • that's LCD

  • you wrong bro

  • its very bad phone its very slow

  • Using shareit on this phone is a nightmare, i simply can't receive anything via shareit and it needs to rebooted all the time.

  • this phone sucks, every time i'm busy with any app it crashes and close it off. anyone with a solution for this problem?

  • what is good from these.. (Huawei Y5 Lite, Xiaomi Redmi Go, Nokia 1 Plus)

  • I think this phone sucks, the one they gave me doesn't even ring it only ring after you have dropped secondly it doesn't even give options of selecting sim1 or sim2 i am gatvol of it

  • Hi. My opinion of the huawi y5 lite is that its a waste, im in south africa, before i got this phone i was a black berry user, im use to roaming the internet doing facebook google searching and multi tasking, my advice if you used to black berry dont go buy yourself this phone, reason why, you spend most of the time waiting for the page to load it looses its signal then you have to put it on airplane mode so it can get its internet back faster, if you think your going to watch a 2 min youtube vid think again it wil be 10 min as you wil struggle with the signal bar. Ive never own a android device this would be my first time and i wish ive never swich from my bb to huawi even though bb have limit i was fully satisfy with that device and lastly whats up with when you minimize the app and when you go back it reloads as if you closed the app whats the use then of the minimze button?. The camera is good with its 8mp but the fronts 5mp takes beter picture dont know how that happens, the 8mp camera want you to tap on the screen so it can focus more the for a sec its shows verry nice amd if you didnt take the photo on that sec it wil be a blurr photo the front one dont do that, verry unhappy with the phone

  • Its a good phone but mine doesn't play high grafic games like motal compact ,so how can I fix it

  • This phone is useless. It can barely perform any basic functions without either being extremely sluggish or crashing. I do not recommend getting this phone.

  • Very frustrated as it cannot play games... Especially Scrabble Mattel EA. The phone does not support "snapscan" either😠 Spent an hour at the bank and they could not help me either. Very very dissatisfied with this model. Y5 lite. Also have to re open Apps every time you exit it... Wastes time and data. Have to wait 2 years for next upgrade.... Going to be torture....

  • I've been using this phone for a couple of weeks now, My Psmart 2019 fell and broke, so while waiting for funds to repair it, I bought this one. Yes, it is a bit slow sometimes, but overall with normal Whatsapp usage, the battery lasts me about 1.5 days, that is with listening to music at night via Bluetooth. The 1GB ram provides enough speed for general use, and is not meant to play games or do heavy social browsing. Though the normal internet browser is sufficient. IT is an entry level phone, and a very good entry level phone. 16GB storage with a memory card slot up to 256GB, is more than enough. For the price, I am quite happy to use it, I don't have any issues with mine.

  • I can't shotscreen

  • Same here so I'm using "friendly for Facebook" app and it works good

  • Am I the only one who is struggling with Snapchat filters on this phone?

  • I recently bougth this phone and i am really disappointed because everytime i play ML it goes black or existed, i dont know whats happening i already consult this stupid app named hicare and it worhtless...

  • Sorry, I just learned it can shotscreen, I love it.

  • It can't shotscreen 😣

  • When I charge the phone, its slow charging. It can take 12 hours to full charge. What is wrong? Please help.

  • this is a good budget phone with the power of MediaTek cores

  • Please tell why my Huawei y5 lite not playing new version games

  • Conscious It My Name Brother.. Xiaomi Brother It Really A Beast Brand, You Can Ask Me I'll Tell

  • Huawei It Such A Lovely Brand But Aish As For Y5 Lite, 8MP It Not Ayoba

  • it only xolani who dont love dis phone just bcs it love MI

  • really??

  • dis phone is too good for it price

  • Worst phone and company ever used. I bought it for 1 month and aold it at half price just to get rid of it and their service center after phone had a deffect in it...

  • Its Android Go, usually all phones like this have 1gb ram, what's funny is the soc they used si 28nm, which is going to suck the battery out of this real quick.

  • What about battery .. On screen

  • 1gig ram2019 Hahahahahahaha

  • it should be around 30 dollars so it can be reasonable with specs.

  • yep! add 19.99 to the price and you can get honor 9 lite... where they compare?!

  • please update huawei y max (huawei enjoy max) spec in this site thanks a lot.

  • I don't care for ram

  • It's very good phone in 100eur but it should have 32gb of storage atleast

  • 1 GB RAM is ver low.

  • Waowww ! The phone of my dream...in 2009. LOL

  • It's twice as much as it *needs*, not should have. It's about half of what it should have.

  • It's Android Go, 1 GB RAM is twice as much as it needs.

  • Ram Is Capacity Is Too Much Less

  • it is made for Pakistan sure thanks to new Taxes here which are 70% phone value.

  • 1GB of RAM? That's awkward.
