Huawei Y6P and Y5P Review - a phone for everyone!

Reviewers Paginademediatechtechtechoane

Let's see how good these phones of 600 respectively 400 lei are good!

These days have officially launched two new phones from Huawei: Y6P and Y5P.Y6p is 600 lei, well, its list price, real, would be 800 lei, but I found it in promotion at 600, and y5p is ... did you guess?400 lei, although its list price would be 600.And a voice tells me that they will never be at their so -called real prices, because they will always be in promotion, and the world will have been obscured with these prices around 500 lei.

Design y6p

Let's start with Huawei Y6p, meaning the 600 lei phone.Unlike Y5P is larger, more glossy, more premium and more modern.The phone looks good, it is built cared for and on the back we have cleanly integrated rooms and the fingerprint sensor that responds promptly and precisely to the touch.Of course, this is a bit "classic", but we still have a fingerprint sensor and 3 rooms in this money.Please not even 3, I will explain immediately.The back is glossy and seems quite durable, although it is plastic.I admit, I tried to scratch it with the key by applying enough strength but did not leave visible traces.And the colors are interesting: purple, green, and black, as is the one I received in the test.

Y6P screen

Turning it on the face, you get over a screen ... big.It is a 6.3-inch IPS LCD, so large, with a resolution of 1600 × 720, pixels, which is a kind of HD+, with a density of 278 pixels/inch and a screen-body ratio that seems larger than it is inReality, that is, just over 80%.Although it has a barbie, it is right, not exaggerated, and black edges, the front camera is integrated through a waterdrop notch that leaves the impression that the screen is wider than it is.in reality.

The display is shiny, the brightness is very good, and even more for this price category.What I could reproach a little would be the viewing angles, but this is a problem of all IPS LCDs, and let's admit that the phone is not a TV and you will most likely watch it ... perpendicular.From a Touch point of view it responds excellently, and this is a thing that always annoyed me on cheap phones, but it is not the case here.

Battery, autonomy and charging

On the side we have the power and volume button, the downhill grid and the load port.They and here, we have a problem: it is Micro USB!I didn't understand why Huawei didn't opt for a USB-C jack!Is it more expensive?And while some will probably say that they suits them, or it doesn't matter, I don't like this.What was the reason for which they made this choice?Finally.

On the cold one, a hot one, instead the battery has 5000mAh!To keep you and keep you!In fact this, besides the big and bright screen, is another strength of this phone of 600 lei.The charging is 10W, so charging this battery size will not be fast, but the hot one here is that it has reverse charging, either on the wire, by the way the OTG is separate, it does not come in the box, which means that it meansYou can use your phone as a PowerBank to feed another phone or headphone or clock or what do you need there.

Faces and performance y6p

Going inside and here I had some pretty big surprises.First of all, I thought about this money we have a cheaper processor, like quad core or there.But no.It is an octacore from MediaTek with 4 Cores to 2GHz and 4 to 1.5, so enough.

And here I have encountered some problems.For reasons that I still escape, I could not install Antutu, that says it would be incompatible with Android 10 from this phone.Yes, it has Android 10 without GMS, we get there immediately and there.He did not go installed either from the Huawei appgallery, nor from the Antutu website.Download, but after that says it is incompatible.I disappointed all security options in vain.And neither geekbench 5 went to me, nor from apkpure and no other source.

But in the end 3D Mark.You will see immediately why this thing was so much to do so loudly.Not because I wanted to compare it with I know what flagship, because that would be absurd, like comparing a 600 lei phone with one of 4000 lei, but because I found in the menu a so-calledPerformance Mode, I wanted to see what he is doing.

In Open GL jumped from 288 points to 405 points, which means ... about 30%?!It is true that he tells you that the battery will be consumed faster, but there is nothing, you have 5000mAh, which keeps you in this way a day of use.In addition, I activated this performance mode because ... guess what?!I installed an asphalt 9 to see how it moves with other phones, and if in terms of graphic excellence it is not at the level of detail and definition of the top phones with OLED or AMOLED, regarding the running and lack of the lag.impeccable.You can play on breaks without having a moment the feeling that it is a phone of 600 lei.

Where do you put that he has a speaker who actually screams.And because I still mentioned the sound, and the calls are heard clearly and loudly, which makes the phone suitable for other age categories.

The MAI processor is seconded by 3 or 4GB of RAM according to the version, the one tested by me is 3, and 32 or 64GB storage, which is 64.And the flour part is that it also has micro SD slot, not that Nano Memory owner and quite expensive from Huawei, but Micro SD normal.Exist in single and dual sim variants, so all for all.I mean it has two SIM slots and micro SD.Nice!

Cameras, photography and shooting y6p

Let's talk a little about rooms and.On the back are two, a 13mpx main Wide with F1.8, good I would say, and a 5mpx ultrawide with f2.2.To these is added a depth room, I say I say interesting on a 600 lei phone.Nor is the front camera bad, 8mpx with f2.0.

In conditions of good light and with little skill the results are unexpectedly good.The image is clean, it is sharp, without artifacts.However, the room shows its limits and the price at the Dynamic Range chapter, that important dynamic interval when you have large light differences from one area to another.If you have dense shadows and intensely lit in the same frame you will feel these limits.

Going now to shoot, you have Full HD 30fps on all cameras, front-front, and although the image is good, I did not understand why they could not make a little effort to make at least 60p, be it and 1080.I have no 4K expectations in this price area but 1080/60 I think it could be.

Software and applications

And now, to finish with y6p, let's talk about sophware.It is an Android 10 without Google Mobile Services, a matter of usual on the new phones from Huawei.But no-i motiv de panica: exista pe de-o parte AppGallery-ul lor, care are o multime de aplicatii, mai ales din cele localizate care ne intereseza, gen servicii bancare etc, are jocuri si mai are si acel More Apps, pachetul care iti ofera Facebook, WhatsApp si tot ce-ti mai trebuie pentru utilizare zilnica, pachet pe care il descarci direct din App Gallery.

I also put the apkpure store that works very well.For example, Facebook I installed Via App Gallery, which downloaded it through my browser directly from the official site, and went instantly, and WhatsApp came via apkpure and it works very well.So does Instagram.So if the Americans do not come with something else to creep again and these phones are ok..But other storm clouds seem to gather.

General impression about y6p

Here I seemed to me the good points at Y6P: the big and bright screen, the huge battery, the reverse charging, the promptness with which the touch and fingerprint sensor, decent rooms, depth room, construction and mode in controls.moving in the interface, games and applications, loud sound.In things that I did not like are primarily the micro-USB port, the screen viewing angles, the Dynamic Range Range and the 1080 thing to 30 frames per second, which could have been 60.

Okay, I know that some will say that these are less relevant, and that I have exaggerated claims from a phone thought to be cheaply and offers enough in these conditions and in this context..Others will say that I tested them as a top phone, based on the same landmarks and tests they do on phones 5-8 times more expensive.Even a colleague asked me at one point: "But why do you put benchmarks on a 600 lei phone?!"Yes but the results did not disappoint me, which is important.

How is Y5p?

And now let's lean a little on Y5p, which is even cheaper: 400 lei in promotion, and it will probably be able to be found in this money, although the official price would be 600.It is smaller, 5.45 inches, also LCD IPS, this one at 1440 × 720pixel and with a more classic design, with "Breton and Barbie", ie black and down edges.

Although it keeps the colors on the y6p, the plastic on the back is more matte and it looks a little more cheap, but inside it has the same octa processor on y6p, which means it behaves about the same in applications and games, only as Y5PIt has only 2 giga giga RAM, compared to 3 or 4 as Y6p has.

The storage is fixed here, ie only 32GB, but they kept the configuration with two Simi Plus Card MCRO.And the battery is substantially smaller, a little over 3000mAh vs 5000 as it has y6p, we have no reverse load and in terms of the located room ... square on the back, we have one of 8mpx with f2.0, and a front of 5mpx and f2.2.

Both have headphones jacks, which is in full agreement with the Romanian obsession for the 3.5mm port.Yes, the meal is less rich than at Y6p, but the phone is even cheaper with 200 lei, ie 30% better than Y6p.So if the budget is even closer then you can go on this.Otherwise, everything I said about the operating system, applications and functionalities are the same as the other.One by the other Y5p is a basic but solid, responsive and quite well -done phone.

Conclusion y6p and y5p

This is a large manufacturer, who puts his mark on his products, no matter how cheap they may be.I am not of the principle that if the phone is cheap must be stupid, and they are not, not even.For many 600 lei it is not little, so you have to get the best in their money.

So y6p and no y5p do not make the hole in the sky in the field of performance, but you are absolutely nor you are fooled.In fact, this series Y was very successful in Romania and not only, if you want a new, decent, perfectly functional phone and which will look good for little money.
