    With the 13-megapixel camera, you can capture every fun moment. Thanks to the Dual SIM, you can be reached at 2 phone numbers. It's not possible to use an extra memory card and an extra SIM card at the same time.

    Is huawei y6 a good phone?
    belen_nolan
    almost 2 years ago
    Great phone, battery seems to last forever. Camera is decent and an upgrade on my old y6. Screen is great and the phone seems very durable. Only gripe is the quality of sound could be better but I honestly don't think at this point there is a better phone out there.

    Make sure AppGallery is updated to the latest version. Go to AppGallery > Me > Check for updates to check if AppGallery can be updated. Go to Settings > Apps > Apps > AppGallery > Storage to clear the cache and data. Restart your phone and restart AppGallery.

    With the Y6 2019, Huawei has done an excellent job of bringing a decent gaming experience down into a device that manages to duck the P7,000 ($134) price point.

    The HUAWEI Y6 2019 protects your information with face unlocking and a fingerprint scanner. The Face Unlock intelligently increases the brightness in low-light conditions to easily see your face.

    At only PhP5,990, the Huawei Y6 (2018) is a decent attempt from the company to enter the budget-segment of the market, and delivers its promise of bringing its expertise in mobile photography to a more affordable package. Add to that, the phone is well-built, and can handle quite a bit of gaming as well.
