Huawei Y6II Compact - User Reviews

  • This phone...... OTG Supported???

  • am using this phone it's good but i thing this phone's battery is not goog.

  • i used this phone for more than 2 years and it was really great. the camera is best for closeup pictures. the internal storage is not enough but can cover up with the SD card. its worth the price. loved it so much. although it does not have extra options its just perfect to get your things done.

  • Since I got this phone I've had no problems with it other than the fact that it seems to destroyany SD Card I put in it. I got the phone about a year ago and since that time I've used 4 SD cards and for all 4 their storage space reduces to a 121mb and then stop indicating all together. At first I thought it was a coincidence but the 4th incident happened two days ago amd now im fairly certain it's the phone because all the memory cards were of different brands.

  • if I paused the recording and accidentally cleared my background apps the recording gets deleted along with it. it won't even automatically save itself. it doesn't happen to the music app. I find it rather inconvenient. but overall bu Tai hao

  • I Like this mobile too much.....

  • Which one is better, Y6 II compact or Y6 2017?

  • This Phone is Amazing my bro had it for 2 years and it's simply amazing more cheap than the J7 From Samsung & It's Better In Overall Amazing camera specs & Cool Gaming performence With Amazing Device & cool other things simply Amazing with a cool Price I got it in my country for Just 145$

  • LG always in this case. I did dor this money LG G5 not new but like from shop.

  • Had this phone for over a year. Two main complaints: 1) Wi-fi very slow (almost unresponsive) when bluetooth is on. 2) Not very good performance -- apps sometimes get forever to open.

  • I've had this phone for over a year and a half I can tell you the following problems: WIFI doesn't work when the bluetooth si on The volume is extremely low, so even with headphones the volume still sounds quiet The speed has gotten worse over time The camera colours are inaccurate The battery is pathetic, and drains very quickly On the positives: It still run games well for some reason (perhaps because of the GPU) The selfies can look nice however it has this dumb auto beauty mode. It won't break or get damaged, no matter how many times it's been dropped The screen is large for its price point, but still ugly with an LCD at only 720p

  • I experienced three problems as follows: 1- Wi Fi doesn't connect properly and the speed is almost zero while the other phones including other models of Huawei . THE sim card internet speed is good. 2- The volume of sound is weak. 3-The battery doesn't last for full day

  • I noticed that the speaker is not that loud.....but I sorted that issue by buying a Volcano Bazooka Bluetooth speaker.....it makes music playback very awesome. This phone is great..... RAM and trash management is the best I ever experienced on a Smartphone...... great cameras ..... smooth performance all around......but m looking to upgrade to the next Huawei flagship or Mid-range since I enjoy the Huawei experience .....been looking at the Huawei P11 but m also drawn to the Honor Series

  • lg k10 2017 or huawei y6ii

  • This phone also known on argentina as "Huawei GW"... and the Huawei Y7 Prime is "Huawei GW Metal".... i wonder why so many names in diferents countries... is so confusing... please huawei not follow the confusing path of samsung (j1, j1 prime, j7, j7 neo, j7 prime...)

  • speaker volume is not loud enough but it is ok i can hear the sound but not as clear as other Huawei phones as i used to have mate

  • It's really good phone,long lasting battery, but I'd prefer y7 prime because of 4000 mah battery

  • Yes all Y6II have the loud speaker problem, the sound quality is very poor

  • I have the same problem. Had to eject it from phone and insert it into my laptop manually with card reader.

  • There is no such double tap wake up function. In return I want to ask you is the speaker volume loud enough? Mine is quiet low. I dont know if this is standard from its manufacture or there is something wrong with mine.

  • i recently bought y6ii and i don't a way to wake up mobile expect power button i tried app to wake up but it drain battery . is there anyway to double tap to wake up ?, motion control dont have

  • Nop I doubt that

  • micro sd card can not be read by PC, plz. help.

  • The camera quality is so poor at night. why is that so, or are there some settings which i have to change to make it work better at night.

  • Go to: settings > advanance settings > battery manager > protected apps > protect all ( switch off ) also, settings > advanance settings > battery manager > power ussage fire wall >( selesct apps to be close ) press x in the bottom of the screen.

  • 3 hrs almost ....from 3percent to 100percent. I m using this is very significant I like this. This is very nice good sat but its take a very very much time to recharge.

  • Huawei Y6II is good for med or low-end user. Though I like it, but it will be great if Huawei can upgrade to OS Android version 7.0 if possible to prove your mobile technology more advance than others.

  • 5.5" display and name is "Compact" :D :D :D

  • Normal dude, this phone charges a little bit slow

  • Don't try to charge phone from 0%, thought. But I can tell you from 20% to 100 % is like 3 hours. This phone charges a little bit slow.

  • There is no way to switch apps into sd card, but you can set default storage to sd card Setting→advanced setting→storage and memory→storage location

  • I don't think huawei will release nougat upgrade for this phone, because it is cheap

  • Superb Android Phone i ever used...

  • Very good phone with many features regarding the price.

  • Place an SD card with higher speed (e.g Class 10) and open setting - storage, then tap the SD card section. There you will find options to use SD card as default write disk.

  • its upgrade on nougut or not plz help

  • Could someone tell me how to switch apps from internal storage to the SD card?

  • mr arrieta, Thanks for the comments

  • it sounds about right, since the charger included with the phone is of 1000mAh, maybe it can charge faster with a better one.

  • Can anyone please let me know the normal charging time of this. 0% to 100% Thanks.

  • this is the non-compact version of y6 ii, the compact version has a front camera flash :)

  • What is the normal charging time of this.? For mine, it takes 3.5hrs. Is this normal.?

  • for back cover search huawei honor 3 in flipcart

  • it supports only H264 vid.... so if you play H265 vid it will definitely hang during video play....

  • Back covers for y6ii are not available in flipkart..? Can anyone suggest a way to get beautiful back covers.

  • This is really nice. Does it have a update to Android 7.0?

  • Speaker volume is very low

Thank u.

  • So which one is better the older one or the new one

  • Yep the speaker not so good

  • Which it's better the new one or the old one

  • those this huawei y6ii have radio in it please?

  • I bought this phone coz I needed a quick cheap replacement for my samsung which died. It does the job, I guess.. but only just! If you just want to use - phone, internet and facebook its ok. Anything more than that and it starts to get really annoying, mostly processor and RAM issues. Lots of lag just between pressing any app and it opening, simple games have long loading times and you can't have too many apps open at once. On the plus side it seems to have good battery life

  • I have bought y611. But it's hang again and again when I see the videos

  • The new version, it has larger battery than old one

  • I have my own huawei y6ii, the speaker is not working good, very low volume, the rest working well... except the speaker and volume....

  • Apart of speaker , everything is good

  • Which one is better...Huawei Y6II old version (September 2016) or New version (june 30, 2017)??...

  • I buy this phone in Malaysia, the speaker and the call quality are just ok, I suggest you to buy it but don't buy the wrong one because there is two version and this version is camera at the left corner, read down the opinions below and you can find my opinion.

  • Greetings! is there quality sound when you connect your earphones to the phone? thanks

  • Greetings! i really want to porches this phone but my fear is about the comment i often see concerning the speaker of the phone. is the speaker so so bad as some of you comment about it? just tell me thanks.

  • good phone , using from 8months. only speaker volume is little low and no Android nougat update 😐

  • 5 STAR

  • I am using this phone since a year. I like it a lot.. it is a good phone but their is no fingerprint sensor in the phone... But anyway I would like to rate it 4 out of 5 stars. 💗💗

  • it's a really good phone. camera is perfect

  • It happened to my phone as well, i have to factory reset it few months once. What's wrong??

  • Same I face this problem

  • I am using this phone since one month the only bad thing about it is the speaker it's really terrible and very bad sound quality you will hate the music Even if you connect earphones the sound quality is poor The weer thing is the call sound is good but the problem on media sound

  • Actually there is two version of y6II The older one is the real compact, 2200mah removable battery and a camera build at the middle of phone The newer one is this device, 3000mah non-removable battery and camera build on the left corner of phone So don't confuse with the phones

  • 100% agreed

  • 5” IPS HD 1280 x 720 !!!!!!! 5.5" noooooo!!!!! PPP: 293

  • Y6 II COMPACT real specifications: Mediatek MTK6735p, Quad-Core 4 x 1.3GHz Li-Ion 2200mAh 2GB RAM 16GB ROM Back cam: 13MP, AFDual LED Flash 720p Frontal: 5MP, FF, Flash

  • And camera...and headphone output....and battery....and display....and speed....

  • nice phone wonderful performance except speaker.

  • The "Y6II COMPACT" - has only 2200mAh battery

  • Specifications and pictures are wrong,perhaps are of y6 ii but i´m sure they aren´t of y6 ii compact

  • How good is this phone for gaming?

  • Forgot about the battery...you can get 4 hours of on screen time at best, unless you just read books.

  • Phone is unbearable, nothing in it works fine except for the GPS (But it has something to be desired too, Glonass support is limited and for some reason it never uses all the visible satellites, sometimes it doesn't even use one) and the fact that it doesn't heat up easily. The display is abysmal and it gets really dirty in minutes, you can hardly see anything, the lack of oleophobic coating is unacceptable. Loudspeaker - terrible. Both silent and totally lacking depth. Camera - worst camera i've ever seen. All the pictures are too blurry even in perfect conditions. I have a friend with a Y3 (Cheapest possible model) and its camera is way better compared to mine. Reception - worst i've seen. It switches to 3G and even 2G often and even when 4G/3G signal is strong enough. And lacks 4g/3g only setting so i'm forced to use 3g only, because if switched to 4g/3g/2g auto, i'm forced to stay on 2G at certain places (With 4G covarage...).

  • Hi, Been using it since 4 months now, it is a great buy, I bought it for 17,000PKR. Never gave any prob. All is good! Very good speed, never hanged.

  • nice phone! for specs and budget :)

  • 128GB

  • Hi, Any body know that this Y6II memory micro card up to how many GB? TQ.

  • Good phone , been using it a month now , good battery life , excellent camera and display , however , I don't like the speaker quality of this phone , it doesnt feel quality if you know what i mean , but for gaming and network , this phone is a charm , can game for 4 hours non-stop . I would really recommend it .

  • The device is name Huawei Y6II alone with those specs. You have to get rid of the word, "Compact". I know this because i owned this device.

  • My huawei y6ii is freezing for seconds after some use.. Any solutions??

  • hw is the battery life?

  • just got the phone and everything works fine aside the network.i have a 4g sim,but the phone keeps giving me 3g help anyone???

  • I have the same problem. Found out it was due to my SIM Card was too old. Need to get a new SIM to cope with new technology. So I went to my cell provider for new SIM Card. Now works perfectly fine.

  • should i buy it now. does the 16 gb ROM & 2 gb RAM is gOod enough? I havw little hearing problem, will u recommend it to me? does it have FM RADIO?

  • Thanks dude, but I can't find it in developer setting. I think this phone need to root to get otg.

  • before reset any android device you have to remove you email id from your device account.. otherwise after startup it will ask about the id and password if u put wrong info it will make it lock itself(FRP lock) so make sure your android is account remarks ved before you reset

  • I have just reset my phone, now it is asking for my email account that was previously sync to my device. I totally forget my email and the phone number that was attach to it is no longer available. Do you guys have any idea on how to fix this?

  • Good fon, i using it for camera music and games.

  • not sure about that....some post says that you can activate OTG in developers settings

  • This phone run very smooth, large display and good camera, I kinda love it.But the disapointing is it doesn't support otg, speaker sound qualoty is not so good, but overall it is a good butget phone. Recommended for young people.

  • The phone has a screen size of 5.5 inch and they call it a compact. Lol, only a fatty who even sees a Big Mac as compact would call this phone compact.

  • this phone is actually good. camera is nice, games run smoothly, battery drains slow, charging is fast

  • problem aplication i dowdload from playstore all not cant move to microSD.. before i have huawei p8 but aplication i dowdload from playstore i can move to microsd.

  • Have in Sri Lanka ?

  • I bought this mob six month ago but now I find some problems on it. First is it get heated on the upper part when i use internet also battery get gradually decreases. Charging is so slow. Also You can't take multiple photos at a time as like samsung phones do.

  • Quit good phone, for this price its very fine

  • I have this phone right now and its pretty good. But theres ONE thing that bugs me : its 5.5 inches. They even had the balls to call it "compact". wow.

  • bought my phone a month ago,at first signal was ok at card 1 and card 2,it can set to 4g signal when switch is on,then suddenly my card 1 cannot detect 4g even switch is on.now ive been using card 2 for better signal,tried to reset phone still same problem.any suggestions?

  • "It's so compact, 5.5 inch is so small. I hope they make a 10 inch version of this phone." Jokes aside, looks like designers at Huawei have seriously lost it, this isn't a compact smartphone, this is a phablet.

  • Cannot get news alert from CNN or CNBC or Bloomberg. Alerts from Line or Viber or FB Messenger also does not pop up on screen or in Notification Panel, and must open that particular app in order to show if any incoming messages. Any one having this problem with this particular model, or with other Huawei in general?

  • Good phone.... But not quick charge.....

  • I had bought this phone for half month, the battery life is good, camera good, fast too.But there is 3 things make me not happy: I doesn't support otg, the speaker isn't loud enough during a phone call, speaker not so good.But overall, it is still a good budget phone.

  • How i should know i dont have it.

  • How is the reception (signal) ? How is the voice quality ?

  • Nice compact phone but for my big hands is too small. I am glad is 5,5 any smaller phone is useless. Typing on tiny keyboard is problem or reading on tiny screen.

  • i want to need much more information that phone..help please

  • 5'5 inch Phone. "Compact" Lol

  • lol compact is 154 mm?

  • is the microSD card slot dedicated or hybrid...?

  • Planning to buy this phone considering its price here in ph and the specs.i think its worth a try

  • best mobile what a camera over all nice phone thanks huwaei

  • This is Huawei Y6 II / Honor Holly 3 (5,5") Honor 5A is also known as Huawei Y6 II Compact (5")

  • Just bought mine last Monday. Been using it and im satisfied but not very happy, guess I've used to a 32gb with 3gb ram so i'd find the phone apps not that quick. But for the average phone and price this one is a good buy. No issues so far and except that the battery doesn't seems to be 3000maH, but then again Im used to a 4500maH battery. I can recommend this phone to anyone, much better than it's specs and design. I've used a Huawei phone before because is stable and dependable. In its official website, its still one of the brand new models. Very good camera, even in low light. Good vibrant colors. Online call is not that loud, but music is good. Video player and other apps make it almost complete. Earphones are quiet good, but not excellent. Over-all this phone is worth the price.

  • 5.5 inches and 8.5mm thick ... and they gave it a compact label?

  • If this phone has been released 3/4 year and is available ago why i am first to comment. Also should have Nougat and better CPU and GPU for a budget phone.
