Huawei Y6 Pro

Smartphone Huawei Y6 Pro - this is a fairly typical device for the budget segment of phones. It does not differ in originality of design or filling, also in the model standard equipment - device, warranty card, cable and power supply.

Design

Huawei Y6 Pro is made in the shape of a rectangular monoblock with slightly rounded corners. Body colors are gold, white and gray. The back surface and the frames around the glass have textured surface, which gives some originality, but it doesn’t catch the eye. Above the 5-inch screen is a front camera, sensor and speaker. Control buttons - touch at the bottom of the screen. They are customizable, in the device menu you can swap them or assign other functions.

The frame of the device is metalThat, given the price of the smartphone is very nice. The back cover is removable, it is made of plastic, but due to the special pattern from a distance it looks like metal. On the back in the center is a square camera, it protrudes slightly above the surface.Nearby flash and microphone.

The second speaker was moved from the back to the bottom. Here too microUSB power connector, for the 2015 model, this is the norm, because the popular Type-C today was widely introduced only in 2017. Volume and control on the right side, the upper end holds the headphone jack. The device works with two SIM cards and can be separately supplemented with a memory card.

Important! From the point of view of ergonomics, the model is quite comfortable. The phone is not too big, plastic is not slippery. Phone Huawei Y6 Pro looks good, both in female and male hand.

Screen

From the point of view of the screen, the model is quite good. For a five-inch HD display resolution is quite acceptable. IPS matrix provides good viewing angles and color reproduction. The average brightness, in the sun to consider the image is quite difficult. Standard settings - brightness, color temperature. Oleophobic coating is not observed - in the price list up to 10 thousand this phenomenon is rather rare. This is a minus, all reviews indicate that carrying a napkin to wipe the screen is a vital necessity.

Processor and memory

Huawei Yu6 Pro is the 2015 model.Then the quad-core processor Mediatek could cope with some games and multitasking, but it is obvious that in 2018 this is very little. The phone is not suitable for games, active correspondence in several instant messengers at the same time, as well as for long scrolling of a VK tape. At the moment, the device can be positioned as a gadget to be able to go online, but more importantly, it will allow you to stay connected for a long time. 2 gigabytes of RAM and a processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz are not the parameters that can make a smartphone multimedia today. On the other hand, a modern buyer most often understands that devices up to 10 thousand rubles are not designed for this.

Huawei Honor U6 Pro's main memory is 16 gigabytes. Of these, the user is available about 10 gigabytes, the rest is occupied by the OS Android 5.1 and proprietary applications. The advantage is the possibility add another 128 gigabyte microSD memory card. However, it does not occupy a slot for a SIM card. The question of how quickly a device can work with such a memory size remains open, since the very need to install a 128 GB memory card into such a device is a very doubtful task.And if you consider the price tag for such an accessory, then it is easier to immediately buy a more serious device.

Camera and Multimedia

Smartphone Huawei Y6 Pro appeared in the era of solitary cameras and the same flashes. The model has autofocus, which works fairly quickly. If we talk about the quality of the photo, then good shots are obtained at close range and in good light, in all other cases the camera passes. The colors either become unnatural or a lot of noise. The application for shooting is quite functional, there are manual modes, several programmed. In general, for its price tag model photographs normally.

On a note! An interesting feature is the inability to turn off the sound effect during shooting. Each photo is accompanied by a specific click.

Video device shoots at FHD at 30 frames per second. Pleasant moment of the model - good speaker. The sound is loud and clear, even at maximum volume it does not choke. Corporate application "Music" is designed to play files in FLAC, for the budget segment is also a virtue. Another feature of the device - two modes of the recorder, "Lecture" and "Meeting".

Autonomy

By autonomy, the phone shows more than good results: two days of work without charging for the Y6 Pro is not a serious problem. Even if the phone is very active, it will survive the day. In other words, the battery in the model is a powerful argument for buying. Of course, there are other Chinese smartphones with capacious batteries, but they either suffer from design, or the device is too heavy, or very slow. At Huawei it turned out to make a kind of hybrid, here everything is moderately nice.

Important! Of the features of the Y6 Pro - it can act as an external battery and share energy with other smartphones, and with the inclusion of a special energy-saving mode, its autonomy can grow up to 2.5 times.

Conclusion

Huawei Y6 Pro is a rather old model, which may still be relevant today. There is no large computing power or top-end camera here, but this is not the advantage of the phone. Why buy this device:

Minuses - lack of NFC and LTE. Of course, the first is of little interest to buyers of budget devices, but LTE in the modern world is an important point, provided that the user often sits on the Internet. On the other hand, the phone was released in 2015, when 4G could not be caught everywhere.

Price Huawei Y6 Pro in Russia today is about 8 thousand rubles. For your money, the device is not bad, although there are equally successful and new models from competitors.
