Huawei Y6 (2017) - User Reviews

  • Had to go to guarantee in the first year because camera stopped working. They replaced the mainboard and I got a new IMEI. The camera is so bad, I can not take a picture at night that is not always full of gain over the image!

  • Not that it matters much now, but after two years of using this phone, it hasn't "betrayed" me once! I had a Lenovo (Vibe C) before this one, it was worse than hell. Huawei, on the other hand, I find very reliable. Although, I must admit, I use it a lot, so the battery doesn't last that long, but that's my problem, not a general rule about it. If anyone still buys this phone from 2017, I heartily recommend it.

  • The phone does what I want, the privileges are somewhat testing. Too much access need by this system?????

  • Meh, I've seen worse. This phone is definitely not the best, but...

  • Its very good phone.Its fast and simply.Good work Huawei!

  • worst phone ever!!!! am very annoyed, especially with the screen resolution worst phone ever!!!! i can not describe how much i hate it!!!!

  • I used to have this phone, and I still have, only that I am not using it anymore, and it's mainly due to the version of android, the screen being a stupid 5 inch, and the resolution is only 720x1280. This would be a good replacement if you have an older phone like a Galaxy S3, but anywhere afterwards this phone is useless. Also, it somehow consumes battery even faster than my current phone, which is the P20 Lite, switched in February 2019.

  • How is it a wow? The phone is stuck on android 6 which was evdn quite old when the phone released

  • The phone is assisting me 99+ % .........The device isjust wow!!

  • The device is excellent. Dual-sim does not have nfc - only one-sim has. Dedicated card slot on dual-sim. Android is the only problem (as always): after answering a call, random app will come up. Android version is not eligible for upgrade. When bought I tried six (6) consequent factory resets, every time the phone came up with extra features. Wi-Fi will not disconnect as said. Battery is only good for one day, medium use - no games.

  • A couple of letters need many touches for them to work on my one. The letter "o" is particularly tricky. I think I have to upgrade

  • My best phone so far by far...i love it

  • It actually DOES have NFC.

  • No it doesn't have

  • I've had this phone for over 8 months it's great worth the buy it does not over heat like others , easy to user, it's fun and a good contender towards Samsung.

  • It's a good phone at a good price. Did anyone know how to make screen mirroring if it's possible?

  • Great phone at a fantastic price.

  • I have this phone. Its the best phone that I have ever had, its fast and it has dual sim gps connects immediately.

  • It has 2 slots only

  • It has slot for dual sim or 1 sim 1 micro sd card

  • can you add 7.0 nougat

  • It has a dedicated slot memory or WE have to use sim 2 slot ?

  • Brilliant phone. No problems at all. Camera is good and it's nice and fast for everything I use it for....

  • How long does a fully charged battery last?

  • Poor GPS signal. At gps test can view satellites but it is not lock anyone. Do you have this problem? When other device with snapdragon locks 13 satellites.

  • Dreadful phone internet keeps stalling. Only 3 weeks purchased. Brought it back to shop and they said they would have to send it back for a technician's assessment. I didnt want to do this as they would not give me a replacement phone.not happy going to go further with this

  • i have one black from spain and is not dual sim :(

  • dual simm unlocked active ?

  • No its red

  • I have a huawei y6 2017 model and it works perfect Worth buying

  • hi, im partially sighted and wonder if this phone works abroad as someone said it didn't ? mm confused. thnx

  • Go to phone company and get new sim. they will install it for you.

  • Of course he has NFC

  • This model has no nfc

  • Just bought this phone, I've cut the sim card down to fit but phone just unable to use as saying emergency calls only. Is this a problem with phone or network?

  • how long is updating guaranted for this model Y6 /17?

  • In my honest opinion, at this price range, both cameras are pretty decent, especially the rear one. Low light results are more than decent. All around a great camera for this price range.

  • Notification light? Yup, and it's green.

  • Hi does this phone have notification for text messages received?

  • horrible

  • Any opinion about the camera?

  • I don't have anyp promblems

  • Does it support OTG (usb host)?

  • I use both 2 sims and memory card and it has 4g...

  • your phone is defective or else you can't use it

  • The phone is pure crap... It overheats and won't turn on it's like 14 days since I bought it and I really hate it👿👿👿

  • I dont have that problem

  • Yes he has green led

  • Does anyone has a problem with quietly hearing on the other line?

  • Hello guys Does the phone have led notification?

  • Thanks, one more question. Can you replace the apps in the microsd, like games etc. I want to know if there's any use of buying one.

  • If you have a memory card, you cannot use sim 2, the memory card is place in this space.

  • sim 2

  • no

  • Moto E4 is better solution. But the Moto is more weights than Hua (about 200g) but also Moto has a bigger display, and stronger battery + finger sensor (works really fast), and one of the important spec is also RAM = 3GB (Moto E4).

  • This one or Motorola Moto E4 Plus? Need a phone for internet, navigation, and not so many games..which one is faster and last longer?

  • Guys is it true that if you insert microSD card you can't use 4g/3g?

  • It has a dedicated memory card slot or we have to use sim 2 slot ?

  • Did the y6 2017 has two card sim slots + memory slot ?

  • I have them both and P9 Lite Mini is the better phone but not by far. P9 Lite Mini is less thick and it looks more like a premium phone. The Qualcomm soc is also better than the Mediatek from Y6. Depends on the price, I bought the Y6 for much less so they're both worth it for the right price.

  • You mean 2 sim card slot + memory slot

  • Anyone: which is better to buy: huawei y6 2017 or huawey p9 lite mini?

  • Guys is it possible to move my apps to the SD card?

  • This or iPhone 6/SE?

  • yes, the phone has a dedicated memory slot, up to 128 GB

  • It has à dedicated memory card slot or we have to use sim 2 slot ? I'm talking about the dual sim version

  • It has à dedicated memory card slot or we have to use sim 2 slot ? I'm talking about the dual sim version

  • Nfc

  • its around 7 free on my phone

  • After a week of use: Good battery, fast processor, nice looking screen. Bad touch, the display is irresponsive and you often have to touch icons several times so as the phone to react. That is the main issue with this phone. The camera is average in daily light, but indoors it is not nearly as good as for example Nokia 3 because it creates strange halos around everything. The indicator lamp is a nice feature for a budget phone.

  • Cause is not that good.

  • Any reviews about the main camera?

  • excellent performance, i lost my first one, today is buying 2nd time,,

  • Please planned the android version in 7 emui 5 this phon its so fast...

  • This device so much good ...very fast 64 bit procesor also have led notification simple have everything for small money

  • About 10 GB for user >>> the rest is for software

  • Someone can tell me what is the available memory ? They said 16Gb but I dont think all this 16Gb memory la available. Thanks in advance

  • Camera quality is bad. to much white points on photos.

  • I think everyone should move to redmi 4x or redmi note 5a prime .this one is not worthy than those two

  • Why do people said that the touch is not good??

  • Does the Huawei Y6 ( 2017) support OTG for connecting SDR dongle please?

  • How do I get the full potential of my sd card. Annoying can't save or download much which always running out of space. Phone plays up & it's a 32GB

  • How do u turn the easy key off in the new huawei y6 2017.. drivin me mad!! Cant find it in settings..

  • like it..it´s possible to use it while charging the battery wich you can´t do with cheaper smartphones..a bit big display though..nice phone !

  • Is the visibility of the display affected by bright sunlight?

  • Nothing eye catching, still Samsung j series winner

  • Yes for LED No.. it has dedicated SIM slot and 2 SIM slots Yes it has compass

  • Pixel density is 294 ppi which is better then the 6" ascend xt. Higher ppi should mean clearer video. But tint accuracy is also important.

  • Is the Huawei Y6 phone G4? I cannot get the phone to display G4 only G3?

  • Can someone tell me about the video quaity? Thanks

  • Great phone for its price good job Huawei

  • Oh god....Again..? I'm y6 pro user:-(

  • yes i bought it and realized some times miss touch

  • Y5 was released earlier with 8 MP rear camera while Y6 brings 13 MP rear

  • Is this phone also have touch problem,,

  • Except from name , what is difference of Y6 2017 in Y5 2017?

  • hi all plz tell me display of huawei y6 (2017)????????and it real price ????////

  • Even a budget phone could last at least 2 years as its warranty but this one looks it will last maybe up to a 1 year.

  • its a low budget phone. What did you expect?

  • 1-Does it has LED Notification or front flash will disable this option? 2-SIM card is hybrid or not ? 3-doest it have compass ?

  • Bad CPU bad GPU wtf Huawei doing?
