Huawei Y7 - User Reviews

  • There is just hold image down and look for move

  • Difficult to set up, my Huawei ascend was simpler to set up and use ready to smash this thing to pieces after a few days.

  • No way to do that.

  • Everything is great and the phone works fine, only the storage is the problem. Is there no way to move apps to SD card?

  • nice phone man

  • is there a screen protector pasted? sometimes it might interfere with the Proximity sensor

  • Why the screen don't turn when some one call me what's up

  • Great Phone.

  • No this does not have a gyro sensor

  • What's the problem?

  • this phone is horrible...freezes everytime and shuts down on its own..

  • I have Huawei y7 got it in chile ...work fine now I am in Brisbane Australia ….I do have a new sim card and don"t work enyone know why?

  • Yhoooo dis fone is annoying. It freezes every tym I want to open another app. Yhoooo when it comes to camera I feeling like throwing it away

  • My phone is very more especially when opening Apps and camera it takes a while to open

  • No issues, apart from when I run my Harmony AI software program it freezes up occasionally there. Great for movies, games on the go too, and Facebook, fm radio.

  • i need this phone

  • I baught this phone 1 day ago I dont know If this phone has gyroscope sensor or not I need someone to tell me

  • It must be a security patch, not android 8

  • Hello all. I have a Huawei y7 prime 2017. As of today I haven't update the OS even the phone shows its availability. Can anyone say if worth updating? How phone respond after update? Thank you

  • I hate it, it's been two weeks and I don't enjoy the phone. It is slow, freezes all the time

  • I am using this phone, it's a awesome phone, if there is a problem it is the storage, but if you can use one sim slot and a memory card then problem solved.

  • Does it really have FM radio?

  • very nice phone and no issues

  • Nook!!

  • when you connect the device to the pc a notification appears on the mobile asking to allow media file access or charge only. You have to select allow media access. If the camera is laggy then please do a full reset.

  • It is a good mobile phone but has the following problem so far already diagnosed a month only. When I connect the mobile phone to my pc I can not open the files to transfer photos and videos. The camera takes too long when I need to take a picture, ja I'm getting tired of this

  • its a great mobile set. its very good in its charging. I think now the time who are not able to buy costly smartphone its the right allternative.

  • I've had the phone since January 2018 and it has been performing nicely. Positives Battery life is great. Camera/Video is great (option to switch to pro photo & pro video) Display is clear.Easy to understand photo editing. Calls / Video calls are fine (both regular and over WiFi or mobile data). Oh I downloaded Office and all works fine like a PC. I have had no issues in picking up networks, mobile data or wifi. I had also easily updated the OS or latest EMUI in 20 minutes in a mall in France. Negatives Storage space. If you use the dual sim feature, then tough luck on space as the 2nd tray is EITHER another sim or a memory card, thus HYBRID. Not dedicated memory slot like other Android phones. (FYI-My 1st sim slot is dedicated to my home network until the contract ends). As I work abroad, My solution was to buy a Sandisk OTG to transfer photos & videos (either mine or downloaded ones). It requires sometime, depending on what you are transferring to the OTG. What is annoying is that the apps run automatically and I have to do a force stop on my frequently used apps, kill the network apps (both data and wifi) to refresh the storage. The EMUI system takes about 5gb of the 16gb, and my Spotify (my fault, my choice) is a massive 4gb by now. What I do not understand is why the photos take a lot of mb, as compared with apple devices? If I take 50 photos in a day, it eats up nearly 300mb. Hmmm. Then I have to do the OTG thing. I've experienced phone lag about 2 - 3 times only, simply heaved a heavy sigh, hard pressed the power on to restart. It also did the same with camera, and I did the same hard reset. Fingers crossed. Main issue. Storage. I figure out if you use only 1 sim on an unlocked phone then use the sim2 tray for your memory card, then all is good!!!!

  • I thought it is a good phone,but it has small modifications in comparison with Huawei P10.I love P10,it works so good.I have it for a year,takes great photos and it charges super fast.

  • I’m 15 and thinking about getting this phone and I don’t know if should get it or not

  • I've also updated and there is no new features only security patch

  • Great phone

  • Pretty good phone. I haven't experienced any of that stuff about overheating, however I am worried about the camera lagging a bit when you open it and the phone is less than two weeks old..

  • It's a good phone overall. It's a first that im using huawei. However, battery runs out real quick and the phone heats up too... Though its not even been a month since i have bought it.

  • Google Security update from April.

  • the battery life should be amazing

  • Can it update to Oreo?

  • this looks like a good phone i am going to buy!!! ................................................­................................................­................................................­................................................­................................................­................................................­........ -TGGTheGaminGoat (no i am not a celebrity or youtuber i just did this to look cool)

  • What's the problem and what update

  • New update sucks!!! Any other have this issue???

  • Want to buy

  • defect battery

  • This is a hybrid slot. you can use either two "nano sims" at once or a nano sim and a micro SD. The downside is you cannot use two sims and an SD card at the same time

  • How do I set up 2 sims on the Huawei y7?

  • Why does my phone get more time to charge (Huawei y7) And 4000mah battery and the standby time is only 12 hours, in gr5 battery mah is less standby more

  • around 2 and half hours

  • No it's not waterproof or water resistant

  • Omg, my phone got soaked in the water with detergents, is Huawei a waterproof?

  • Yeah! i meant that "i bought it". Everything went good! When i gave back the phone to the store, they said it was a factory defect and they replaced it.

  • Don't you mean BOUGHT the phone?

  • Mine only gets 2 hours and 30 minutes to full charged (2 hours and 45 minutes without airplane mode). Turn on airplane mode while chaging. It will help device to charge even faster.

  • This phone has the same specs as the Huawei Ascend xt2 from AT&T and the Huawei Elate from Cricket wireless...

  • i cant download utorrent in Y7, please advise what is the issue ,guys.

  • I just went into Te Puke in NZ,, about 500m from the cell tower..SpeedTest.net gave me 85Mbs down.. 12Mbs up. even 3km away I get 30Mbs down awsome

  • In how much time the battery should be fully charged in 220V

  • It's been 3 days I bought this phone but during the time frame it shows Edge network speed while using the internet, How can I get 3G network speed? Any suggestions.......

  • Yes! 4G OnBoard. Very Fast. Android update possible in the future? Still 7.0

  • That's because you are using the SIM 2 to 4G. You have to select the SIM 1 for mobile data.

  • Is the Huawei y7 waterproof or water resistant to any extent at all

  • why does my phone get 4 hours to charge full (Charger came in the box I'm using

  • is the sim slot 1 4G supported? in settings it is 2G/3G, and slot 2 shows 4g. So what is the fact?

  • Good, but not for high-end games. Asplhalt 8, dead effect 2 can be played in full quality.

  • Go to settings> battery and check which app is using your battery. Defenitly one of your app using too much battery.

  • Is it good for gaming?

  • My huawei y7 consuming too mauch battery. overnight it drops 7% and every 20-30 minutes standby mode 1% drops. Any suggestion ? 2-3 minute usage 1% battery consuming too .

  • Awesome

  • Huawei y7 is a great phone.

  • I used this device all day with heavy usage with about 7 hours of screen on time. 20% battery present left at end of the day.

  • This must be your device issue, because my y7 is works perfectly. I'm still wondering about your issue.

  • Brought this phone and after two days the phone was completly dead!

  • Bought Y7 to replace stolen XIAMO Mi Max when in Luang Prabang. DISASTER. Touch screen is not responsive have to touch over and over. Camera shutter lag time and many times touch button and nothing. Have lost many shots. Phone worked for 2 weeks. No Intl. warranty have to return in Laos though now in Sri Lanka. Contacted live chat service center no help, no refund have to return to Laos how convenient. Hope I can exchange. I miss you XIAMO........

  • great for this price.

  • I've bought this device on Jan 2. So far this performs well with no issues. The only problem i see is not enough storage. Only 8.2 GB was left out of the box and after installing FB Whatsapp IMO, around 5 GB is free. Other than that the battery can make two days with full day wifi connected and medium use.

  • why don't you take it to the dealer?

  • This is just your problem 4G is very fast for me! Mobil data speed is epic!

  • It can be a problem with SD card or the phone

  • Can I change display due to my display broken

  • Can I change Display due to my phone display broken

  • I'm using class 10 sd card. But some games get stucked after i moved them to sd card. They worked fine when they on internal storage. (shadow fight 3 and assassins creed identity)

  • Very good phone..stylish look.good battery.good colors..display..enough option..very useful for the price

  • Mobile data speed is very slow....

  • no NFC

  • better to use a class 10 SD card. if so then no problem

  • What was the issue?

  • You cannot open the back this phone is sealed-type. Just use the sim ejector tool provided with the phone. Or as a substitute a paper clip

  • please help me my huawei Y7 phone not done by ethiopia network am buy from Saudi Arebia at jiddah how to solve z problem

  • You can't open the battery cover. The hole on the side is only to pop out the sim tray.

  • I cannot open the back of my Huawei y7 smartphone. I push in a paper clip into the top right hole and nothing happens. Does anyone have a hint how to open the back|?

  • I bought this phone a few days ago,i just love it,its battery is great,it doesn't have heating problems like some,i don't play lots of games,but I watch a lot of cricket on dialogue TV, have downloaded a few apps which is more than enough for me, it's a great phone for its price.

  • What's the issue occurred when you trying to lock apps?

  • We cannot lock app with applock .what is this?

  • Should i change my default storage to sd card? And is it good idea?

  • Hi. The Xiaomi RN4 is usually more expensive here USD 210. On Sale offer the Huawei Y7 costs USD 142.

  • Great phone. Fast processor. Good RAM. Great camera. Long lasting battery. Got it for $49 at Wal Mart Black Friday. It compares to very expensive phones.

  • also known as huawei elate

  • Good phone Good battery Good speed Very good smooth howsin

  • Can I move apps to my SD card?

  • Can I move apps to SD card? I heard that y5,y7 and other Huawei devices having a issue in moving apps to SD card and there is no option to move apps.

  • Worst phone ever, it is not even possible to replace the apps to my sd card the memory is full pretty fast . Thought i bought something good for 200€ but it's not even worth the price ! The only good thing about this phone is the size and screen.

  • otg ready?

  • Android 7.1 or later 8.0 not possible? No chance?

  • ok but a bit slack with the internet(good camera)

  • No

  • Does this phone come with NFC?

  • good phone

  • Hi everyone who usualy y7 is 2nd sim slot available for 3G simcard network?

  • Thanks! I bought this phone, gold color. Very good price, very good perfomance EU/Hungary 194 euro, MediaMarkt last minute sale with 2years w, Android 7.0 very good, fast and economical! Quality 10/9 Perfomance 10/9 Battery 10/10 System 10/9 Camera 10/9 (Much better than I expected) Best Regards, Gabor

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X-4100 Battery-625 Snapgragon and chiper. nothing to thing take the Xiaomi

  • So guys, good deal , or no? Redmi note 4, or this one? Thanks!

  • A little more power to the CPU, a little more power to the battery and a higher price. And it is a hybrid dual sim - so u can only use 2 sim cards or one sim and one memory card. If Huawei Y6II (or Honor Holy 3 how it is called here) it was still available in my country I would buy it instead of Y7.

  • Pretty sure you mean terrible, terrific means good.

  • Yes avail.in smart post paid plan

  • This y7 is very terrific. I have bought two Huwai Y7 for my father and sister. One mobile is always restarting and almost dead. Another mobile touch does not work properly. I am totally shocked. Does this mobile have any warranty?

  • HUAWEI is my favourite brand , is that model (Y7) already in TANZANIA ?

  • Is this phone already in the phillipines?

  • its 120$ in iraq

  • Battery good stats good but for 210 eur it should have 3 gb ram.

  • Oh why no fingerprint in this age of time in smart phones? Too expensive phone. Should be around $150 because the specs are low and lacks so many things. The only plus Of things is the Nougat 7.0 and the battery of 4000 mAh but has no fast charge so can charge long hours.

  • HUAWEI y7 has 16 gb of storage and 2gb of ram HUAWEI y7 prime has 32 gb of storage and 3gb of ram.both of them are 250 euros

  • Hybrid stupid sim card slot, it will never make its business in Indian market

  • i ve got a huawei but it costs just 100 E and is y6

  • Very expensive phone for the type of phone. For sure this lower mid-range phone is for Africa but it is pricey, very high above it's level. We need real mid-range phones and upper mid-range phones which are good value for money not lower mid-range phones.

  • For 150 eur should be good othervise no.

  • Another useless phone with a fake second sim slot... WTF are they doing this? Come on, it's 2017, it can't be an issue to add a dedicated sd slot. That's just idiotic.

  • This is overprice for specs :(

  • 250 euro? Xiaomi with same spec cost 120 euro.
