The Y6 was one of Huawei’s popular phones because it brought something different at a time when the company was more focused towards the three function keys design. Its successor, the Y6 II, hopes to emulate the success of its predecessor with a price-tag of 16,000 rupees.

Inherits the build and design from the Y6

The Y6 II is a definite upgrade upon the Y6 but not when it comes to its design and build quality. Both the smartphones feature predominantly plastic with a metal frame separating both the front and back panels from conflicting. Dimensions wise, there’s nothing to cheer about as an 8.5mm width and 168g weight could’ve definitely seen some toning down.

Display wise, the smartphone is a treat for the large screen lovers due to its 5.5 inches IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with 267ppi pixel density. Sporting a 720p resolution, the display might lose some detail due to being a tad stretched though.

Both the cameras and hardware feature some promise

The smartphone’s primary camera features a 13 MP sensor with customary camera features and an LED flash. Its secondary sensor features an 8 MP sensor meaning that both cameras contain adequate power.

Hardware wise, an octa-core processor with 2 gigs of RAM powers the built-in Android Marshmallow while 16GB of internal storage, external card-slot, dual-SIM, a non-removable 3100 mAh battery and three colour schemes namely white, gold and black rounds-off all you need to know about this budget Huawei release.
