Huawei Y6 Pro (2019) - User Reviews

  • My Huawei Y6 pro hung up,what should i do???

  • Do not but huawei products its suck buy any phone made in US in Korea Indonesia anywhere but not China made phones its low quality bought huawei y6 pro 2019 last month when I gotdown the vehicle it slipped down the crack was so big my Alcatel flash was tougher yet cheaper than this phone it sucks

  • Great phone. Has great functionality. Easy to use and was a good price.

  • no otg support, big screen only to see time . so sad:(

  • Because it is now damaged because of you

  • I bought this phone on month of June. But now it is keep on restarting. i did factory reset too. but now the case is worst. cannot use at all. what could be the reason?

  • Woahh..

  • Eh just saying there is no word such as 'elderlies' The plural of elderly is elderly Thx

  • My Sony Xperia XZ Premium doesn't hang whatever you throw at it. Using it for 2 straight years and I'm telling you, I never experienced any lags or hang.

  • this phone is far more better than most phone in the same price range... every phone will also hang no matter how expensive your phone is

  • yeah it WAS sold in singapore for $54 for ELDERLIES who's 50 and above.

  • The phone has a lousy resolution. The elderly are ignorant of that feature. I won't use it even given to me for free.

  • Huawei is a tech devil in Singapore.

  • Was selling in Singapore for SGD$54.

  • yes.. it will hang and lag and other stuff

  • Will Boeing Max 8 crash? Are you comparing the frequency who crash more?

  • Even if you are not using your phone, many apps may still run in background which can drain battery quickly. so try to turn off them. Android system has the feature under setting/battery. you can choose for individual app whether start at launch, don't run at background, etc.

  • Compare y6 with P serial phone? not reasonable, man, because y6 is a budget handphone.

  • Will this handphone hang ?

  • Some people buy a budget phone and expect top of the line performance, super quality camera. Come on. Be realistic man. If you can make phone calls and send sms, send whatsApp, have calendar, calculator for the price you pay, you are already getting a freaking good deal man.

  • May I Know This is Phone Will hang and lag

  • y6 pro 2019 compare to xiaomi 4a which is better?

  • Is Huawei y6 pro can be rooted?

  • Mediatek lag like hell

  • Always hang and application always close

  • Helio a22 is Weak

  • Actually, this phone's camera is not that bad and not that good enough to reach the efficiency that Huawei's P Series can offer. If you like to improve your night photographs, don't just tap the default Photo mode, you can explore using the Pro Mode and calibrate all the camera settings (ISO, Shutter speed, Focus, White Balance etc.) and for sure there'll be a significant improvement in your photos. How can I say all these? Because I tested them. I tried to take a picture using Pro Mode in a hallway where only a single light is turned on, I adjusted some parameters and made sure that my hands are not shaking then holla! I got a picture that is as bright as if there were lights around me.

  • Yes it does.

  • It's not a midrange phone,it is a budget phone y9 is the midrange tho

  • Try to reboot by press

  • Please help how can I turn off my phone...bcos it wont function

  • The night mode is terrible, all pictures taken are blur. Without the good pictures I don't think I need a 1TB memory.

  • Hi Huawei, please help. Why this phone don't have mute shutter for its camera? I just bought the phone yesterday.

  • Camera are very bad, not as what it say a better picture under low lights. Day and night are same, could not the auto focus right.

  • works fine, but camera is not in good quality.

  • The camera quality is not that good, but it's fine since I bought it for it's storage capacity.

  • There is no built-in compass

  • I was expecting a lot more to this phone reason why I hurriedly bought it replacing my huawei P8 last week. Only to know that the specs I am into for, esp the camera both front and rear are not in a good quality compared to my huawei P8 which has a superb all in all performance(that includes the camera) . If not because of my huawei p8's broken screen after the countless fall for four years, I wouldn't end up buying this Y6pro 2019. This phone is truly far from what I am expecting. Too bad to experience this from huawei.

  • Got disappointed too.

  • Yes, it ia disappointing.

  • Exactly!

  • Yes, it supports otg :)

  • does it supports otg?

  • I agree as well..

  • Is ML smooth in high graphics?

  • It's normal. 11g is already small to take up space. Tho I use a diff phone, it took almost 15g. It's better to consider it's emui9 as well.

  • this is a great phone actually and very affordable as a mid class phone and the specs is great as well . quality is really good im satisfied with the phone's performance . I'll have to disagree with JKMJ because I used to play games (ML) with 50% battery most of the time and it takes an hour before it went down to its critical battery percent (10%) and every time I forgot to charge it with a batt percent around 30-40% the next day it was only less 5 or 6% .so all in all performance is great

  • For me it's good for me 12nm chip quad core 2.0ghz cortex a53 and the 3020 battery with AI management fast charging up to 2hours good cameras awesome ui and features but I don't like heavy user im light user.

  • Wow.... the battery is kinda bad. It doesn't last that long. I bought it Brand New and then went on setting it up, at first it was around 50%, then after 3 hrs it became 17%. What kind of battery is this? I'm not even playing anything.

  • I think you have a different phone. This doesn't have fingerprint sensor (thumbprint as you've mentioned).

  • pls does this phone support portrait mode?

  • Buy a memory card and move your stuff on it

  • there is some preinstalled apps already in the phone but some of them can be uninstalled which is pretty reasonable if you ask me

  • So I have had this phone for a day now I think it's amazing I mean there are so many bad reviews I understand some are opinions but my phone is working like an angel a child I have never had so well behaved anyway this phone has facial recognition and a thumbprint as well I mean how can they fit that in a phone my old phone was really stupid and I couldn't get any apps however getting this phone has made my life so much better I would like to that the people who have made reviews and for the people who have made the phone. It leaves me with only one question that has been bothering me scincw o got this phone Will there be another Huawei??????

  • I think it is amazing

  • Any link to root this phone?

  • Just bought huawei y6 pro 2019 just recently and i have noticed that its internal storage (32 gb) gets easily wasted. I dont know but 6 gb was already deducted the moment it was bought. Yes, there are already preinstalled apps but i dont think they all could add up that much. Now, after approximately a week of use, 11 gb was used despite installing only a few apps. I even dont have much photos and videos. Is this normal??

  • Now, what to do with your finger?

  • I thought that Huawei Y6 Pro (2019) has a fingerprint... It doesn't have

  • Hard reset your phone, it will be like new.

  • too big body size with too small battery

  • Hi Huawei. I'm using a Huawei y6 ii-compact smart phone for 1 year and nearly 4 months. It's a mid range phone and could work with very good performance in the 1st six month. Really I was so proud of my mobile those days. I'm a university student and bought this phone,coz it says that it gives a good performance for a lower price. At the beginning ,yes it gave such performance. Now it lags like hell. Sometimes when I'm browsing Google it lags. Most of the time it shows a very low ram. Sound is awful 😢, when playing a music. But this mobile is very good if you are using this for lecture recordings. They give updates for the EMUI for few months after that it won't give updates. 🎈 Recently I have changed it's default launcher- Huawei home to another launcher that I have downloaded from Google play store. Now it's bit fast.🎈 When it comes to the camera, it gave quality photos and good picture focusing at the beginning. But now it can't even focus well.-(It's default camera app.) It shows that it has a 2GB ram, but it's performance is so awful. When typing some words ,key board also lags. I hope Huawei has avoided these problems in Huawei Y6 pro 2019.

  • yes LTE cat 6

  • How fast 4G on this phone , is it support cat6 ?

  • BUY THIS PHONE: This phone is better then any iPhone or Samsung it’s so great it’s fast and the camera is amazing. The water proof fact about the phone is true it’s waterproof I used it underwater and all the other phones have to get a case for the phone. I give the phone a 5 star rating it’s so amazing buy this phone. Gaming is great and everything about the phone is great.

  • Just bought this phone and its brilliant brilliant sound brilliant front and rear camera plenty of storage and very nice soft touch screen I went from iPhone to this and think it was the best move I made

  • Dearest respectful readers.With respect to gsmArena specification and disclaimer ,Even without NFC,infrared ,USB 3.1,and not 4000 MAH battery ,with regard to its $ 150 price, 32 gigs RAM and 3 gigs ROM , it is a good midranger and the best to y 6 series up to now and affordable for absolute majority of low income people.Hopefully the powerful richest Huawei had not forgotten the mentioned missings !!? Thanks gsmArena to write a review for it ,even though ,it is an average midranger!Justice Rights analysis good,better and the best of any smart devices from all branches ! But my hand trembs while I write about $ 6000 upper brands ,while they used to be in very lower categories that even middle class people could have affordable to buy them!!Thanks Huawei and gsmArena to help people in having guidelines of buying smart devices....

  • Y6 pro 2019 or A10...same price

  • I have bought this phone last Friday. I am very happy with this phone performance.

  • Cameras are not good, I have an old Oppo A37, and believe me it capture much better photos.

  • Yeah it's definitely true! The camera quality isn't good

  • Nice compact phone for peanuts money...don't expect too much from cameras and you will be happy. For a second phone, a child or a old person...best of the cheap.

  • At this price point, you could just pick up a xiaomi redmi 7. Provided you like the brand and is available in your region.

  • It doesn`t make sense of it`s processor which is Quadcore only, 3Gb of ram and 32gb storage but the processor is for basic use only, I think while in gaming it will only ruin your mood.

  • My GOD! This Smartphone is all I need. I'm don't have regrets buying this phone. All I can say all smartphones are marking down these days and it's good to find a phone that just suit your budget with an over-all superb, excellent performance. Here's some of the reasons why I'm lovin' my new HUAWEI Y6 Pro 2019! 1. It's knot design is sooo sexy. 2. The battery performance is totally amazing, if you don't use it for games, the battery would lasted for 3 days. Gosh! impressive. 3. It doesn't heat up. Even if you played for hours, unlike my old Asus Max Plus, which I was very upset because it's always heating up. But not this phone. 4. Has great themes and paid ones are very affordable! Just Wow! 5. Great big space for more games & apps. You can use your external memory card easily, after you switch default storage to external sd card, all new downloads will be saved to the sd. 6. Great sound quality with enhanced bass 7. Both camera (back & front) have flash for nice lowlight captures. 8. Very nice and smooth graphics esp. in gaming, etc. 9. Fast EMUI response never LAG. 10. Super gorgeous design color. 100% CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

  • Poor Camera quality! Or maybe cause of android 9 pie? Both, front and rear too bad quality. I don't know why! Hope Huawei release update to fix it!

  • Complete waste of money...I liked it all section....but battery sucks....it drains almost all the time..... yesterday night I charged it to 100%....then when I wake up in morning it had 87%.... Its an all time charge hunger....I just played 3 YouTube videos and Received/ Called 6-7 times (Approx 10 min of Talktime) And it is now 8:14PM.... Charge left 44%...Big issue of Battery optimization....As we know Mediatek processor is not likely received Such software update...And they already gave on the box to 9.0 pie....So it's a total disappointment...I don't need gaming....but I can atleast demand A good backup for browsing ... Overall my rating is 5/10

  • Man.. what a fake review or maybe he got conned.Either way not impressed with his performance.

  • where did you buy it?

  • Just bought this phone last February and my impression for this phone, "you get what you pay for". Design wise, it is good since it has a larger display, thin bezel, and comfortable to hold since it has a thin body. For the battery, it can last a whole day without charging for moderate use. For the display, you will notice the pixels even for movies playing at 720P and higher. For performance, it is good at first but it gets laggy when you start to download and use your daily apps since it has a Mediatek SOC. Need to tweak and adjust settings in 'developer options' but im suggesting not to do if your not familiar. For games, you can play casual games but you will experience series of lags during clash if your'e into MOBA games and PubG. Suggesting not to buy this if your'e into this kind of games. For the speaker, even though there are 2 sets of speaker holes, only 1 of it is working and and the other one is just a 'hole '. No speaker, such a disappointment. For the Camera, it is a bit smudgy in the front and back but already acceptable for outdoor shots and place with good lighting. It is a good budget smartphone but 'you get what you pay for' so expect there are some flaws and lags on its performance, system, and features.

  • Wow nice phone :)

  • 2626

  • the phone is good looking, the li-lon of 4000mah will better for the phone

  • If only this had a 4000mAh battery and it would last half a week! :D

  • Affordable price and good for gaming.

  • They make money definitely, if you think its cheap, then it probably was cheaper producing this.

  • Not a bad price

  • is it true that the video format is 3gp and not good quality?

  • Only 120 euros in the Philippines...best budget phone in the world, and great looks too. It is not S10, but who cares. I wonder how Huawei can make money with a perfecly good phone so cheap.

  • Samsung M20 is not a good option.

  • Hello, this new huawei model will not have frequencie for Latin america?

  • Thank you i will buy that phone but my saving is 6330

  • where i can buy this mobile

  • With a hd screen and 12 nm soc it won't be bad I maybe even think it will be better than some flagships out there

  • Who doesn't have xiaomi in his country I know that there are some very better options but some markets really haven't a lot of choices

  • Who would buy this instead of redmi note 7?

  • Does it ok for ml??medium settingss??tnx for answering☺😊😊&a­mp;#128522;

  • phone is good but battery a bit low mah compare others in the market

  • phone is good but battery a bit low mah compare others in the market

  • Yes

  • i'm planning to buy it, is it worth it?

  • Just found out its not. Y6 prime has fingerprint sensor.

  • Is this the same y6 prime 2019?

  • Can it transfer files from internal to SD card?

  • A bit laggy when I'm playing and can't find 5G wifi. There is no network for 5G appearing on phone although on my laptop, 5G wifi appears. I still don't know if its on the phone specs or the phone itself has a problem. The video and sounds was still good though.

  • Not at all. Got mine yesterday. ☺

  • Can everyone tell me about the performance of this phone? Is it laggy??

  • Is it full active for dull sim?

  • Thanks for the review...i guess i will spend a little more money and get the Y7 2019, or even wait for the Samsung M20 launched on march 5 in the Phils.

  • But it already is released. I got one for my brother in-law's girlfriend last week. It was released on the 23rd of February and we got it same day.

  • Meaning the device is yet to be released

  • Received my order of this less than 24 hours ago and I've been using for the entire day now, here's my off the cuff mini-review. Lightweight, narrow bezels, latest Android...so far, average battery performance and endurance that will last a day of moderate usage, tri-slot: dual sim+microSD, good price point. I'm no mobile gamer but I think it'll just do OK for mobile casual games but not resource intensive ones. Both cameras are decent under good lighting but definitely not for low light. There's a noticeable and annoying lag in both cameras in live view processing when RAM is nearly full, it's understandable given unoptimized Mediatek processor and limited RAM but again it's a nuisance. Some GUIs overlays are also not optimized, some apps have cropped notification bars instead of scaling with the display, either it could be a problem with the apps themselves or the system itself. No fingerprint but face unlock works 90% of the time, even in low light as advertised. Average sound performance on speakers but good signals reception on mobile, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS.

  • Should be available in the Philippines since february 23...any one can give us a review ?

  • whats's the meaning of exp release?

  • how to hide apps in y6 pro 2019

  • Anybody knows how to dark mode everything? I can't darkmode the contacts and settings.

  • Hopefully very soon to sm or Ayala malls....

  • I understand you.

  • I will purchase one on it's release. Can't wait.

  • no fingerprint sensor???? smh :(

  • cant wait for its official launching here in Philippines next week *v*

  • Yes M10 is probably a good alternative also....but unavailable if you live outside India. Waiting for A10. Good to see now you can get a nice phone with 3GB/32GB and reasonable performance for only 130 dollars. Competition from the chineses is good.

  • In some tests, the A22 is inferior to the old Snapdragon 425 when Redmi 6A is compared to Redmi 5A.

  • Redmi 6A uses the same A22 chip, which shows to be inferior compared to the old and rusty Snapdragon 425 in testing.

  • This uses the same chipset from Redmi 6A. Redmi 6A compared to Redmi 5A which uses Snapdragon 425, the 425 performs faster and more battery efficient. And... 425 is uses 28nm architecture and is much slower at around 1.4ghz. Maybe Redmi 6A is less optimized, or it only shows that Mediatek A series is less competent than the old and rusty Snapdragon 425. Only Mediatek P60 and above are worth to be used.

  • I'm a samsung fan and i know j6+ sucks,but give the brand new m10 a try,its inexpensive.

  • xiaomi is the best

  • thank you

  • for me am using just the google apps ( youtube , maps etc) and twitter flashscore and WhatsApp i dont know its be ok no lagg or something ( note: am not a user of facebook or messnger i delete them from my phone)?

  • Yep...coming very soon for 6990 php. Y7 Pro 2019 is 9990 php and Y9 2019 is 12990 php

  • hope this will be available in Philippines, looking forward on this phone

  • 2GHz of four A53/A55 cores is not bad, will do the job for most people.

  • There is nothing wrong with the Mediatek SoCs post 28nm era... Y U SAI DIS?! O3O

  • what about finger print ?

  • imagine having 6.09 inch phone with 720x1560 resolution

  • it's faster than A12 ~~

  • I think you mean snapdragon 425 because snapdragon 450 is more powerful and it is used in the more expensive huawei y7 pro

  • Why Mediatek ? You disappoint me Huawei.

  • Android 9 and emui 9 on this phone? I have mate 20 lite and still have android 8.1 and emui 8.2...

  • Pretty decent phone for such a low price, Samsung is asking double that money for the J6+

  • quad core in 2019 !! helio a22 i dont know what they think about why isnt a octa core its will have a good performance

  • Still better than Snapdragon 450

  • mediatek helio a22 ? seriously ?
