Huawei y. Huawei Y9 review: It's over budget. The main camera of a mobile device is usually located on its back panel and can be combined with one or more additional cameras

The Chinese company Huawei has long been entrenched in the mobile phone market. It is constantly among the top five most popular brands for the production of smartphones and tablets all over the world, second only to such giants as Samsung, Apple and others.

Huawei devices attract consumer attention not only with their interesting design and good characteristics, and also with their prices. Today, she has gadgets in stock for any price segment, including budget models that are increasingly gaining popularity and becoming relevant.

I would like to talk about just one of these models today - this is the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone. Reviews, current prices and much more will be in today’s review dedicated to this phone. Well, let's get started.

Review

Before we begin our review of the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone, I would like to briefly tell you what exactly will be reviewed. First of all, we will get acquainted with the equipment of the device, its appearance, design and ergonomics. Then the display will be looked at in more detail, specifications, operating system and performance. The article will conclude with an introduction to multimedia functions, camera, time battery life and reviews of the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone.

Equipment

So, the phone comes in a small rectangular box of bright orange color. On the front there is only the name of the manufacturer and model, but on the back the main characteristics of the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone are already listed: GB of internal memory, 2 GB of RAM, 5-inch screen, 3000 mAh battery, 4G support, etc. We will get acquainted with the device specifications in more detail in a separate section of the article.

Inside the box itself you can find the following: Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone, instructions, warranty card, unit charger, micro-USB cable, headphones and protective film for the phone screen. Overall, a pretty good package for a budget device.

Of course, I would like to get some kind of silicone case in addition, but even without it everything is just fine.

Appearance

The appearance of the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone is chic, even despite the plastic body. By the way, the plastic used here is of very high quality and pleasant to the touch. Only the frame is made of metal, which emphasizes the stylish appearance. The 2016 model had no metal elements at all.

On the back of the smartphone is the Huawei logo and the camera lens, which has a metal edge and protrudes slightly from the body. Next to the camera there is a double LED flash and a microphone hole that records sound when shooting video.

The corners and edges of the device are rounded, making it comfortable and pleasant to hold in your hand. I would also like to note the corrugated structure of the back cover of the phone, which looks just great.

On the right side, traditionally, there are volume keys and a power/lock button.

The company's proprietary "smart" button - "Easy key" - is located alone on the left side. You can manage it through the settings menu. For example, you can set that after pressing a button, a screenshot or something else will be taken.

Looking at the front panel of the device, it becomes a little sad. The large side frames around the five-inch display are very disappointing. Also not here touch buttons controls, they are displayed on the screen, occupying some useful part.

At the top of the screen you can see the earpiece hole, light and proximity sensors, a 5 MP front camera and an LED flash so that selfies can be taken anywhere and at any time of the day.

At the top end of the phone there is only a 3.5 mm headphone jack. On the bottom edge there are a pair of speakers on the sides and a micro-USB connector in the middle.

As for the build quality, Huawei smartphones usually have no problems with this. Even though the Y5 is a budget model, it is built with high quality. All parts fit closely together, there are no creaks, pressing or crunching noises here.

Screen

The Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone has a 5-inch display. The matrix is ​​made using IPS technology, resolution 1280x720, pixel density per inch is 294 ppi, which is generally standard.

There are some minor comments regarding the quality of color rendering. The gamma is clearly slightly shifted towards cool shades. You can correct the situation using the “Color temperature” item in the settings menu. If we talk about clarity, it is at its best here. Text, small details in photos, pictures - everything is visible very well.

The viewing angles are not bad, but there is a problem with many IPS matrices - when deviated in one direction, the screen turns yellow, in the other it turns violet. You can tell from the display that it clearly lacks good factory calibration.

In multi-touch mode, the display simultaneously recognizes up to 5 touches.

Characteristics

The technical characteristics of the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone are as follows:

  • Processor - with a frequency of 1400 MHz.
  • Graphic video accelerator - Mali-T720 MP2.
  • Volume random access memory- 2 GB.
  • Built-in memory capacity - 16 GB + support for memory cards up to 128 GB.
  • Camera - 8 MP, autofocus, dual LED flash.
  • Front camera - 5 MP, LED flash.
  • Screen - 5 inches, IPS, 1280x720, 294 ppi.
  • Number of SIM cards - 2.
  • - nano + micro.
  • Battery - 3000 mAh.
  • Additionally - light sensor, proximity sensor, compass, voice dialing.

Overall, quite good, for a budget model. Particularly pleasing is the possibility of expansion internal memory using a separate slot for microSD.

Connection

If we talk about connection quality, the phone handles the network quite confidently. The volume of the external speaker is good, the interlocutor can be heard well, the voice is not distorted. Regarding support wireless technologies, then the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone has 4G and 3G. GSM standards Fully supported: 900/1800/1900. Bluetooth in the device is version 4.0.

operating system

The smartphone comes in the box with an operating system Android system 6.0 (Marshmallow). The shell uses the proprietary Emotion UI 4.1. The likelihood that this device will receive version of Android 7.0 is very small, but it is still a budget option.

As for the interface itself, then outer shell It's quite nice and easy to use. Optimization also does not fail. Flipping, opening and various transitions occur smoothly, without jerking. There was also no noticeable slowdown.

Performance

The processor in the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone is not branded Kirin, but from MediaTek, version MT6737T. I don’t want to say anything special about this “pebble”, because it is installed in almost every third device from other manufacturers. The processor runs on clock frequency 1.4 GHz, which is more than enough for the budget segment.

The video accelerator is also not some cool Adreno, but a Mali-T720 MP2. Its performance is quite good and allows you to play most mobile games without much difficulty, including such as Asphalt, NFS, WoT.

In Antutu, the phone scored 40754 points, which is quite good considering its class. This figure is noticeably superior to the 2017 model from Samsung - Galaxy J3. And if you also compare the prices of both devices, then Huawei clearly has the advantage.

Several games were launched for the graphics test: Riptide 2, Asphalt 7/8, Modern Combat 5, Real Racing 3, Inhustice 2. The result was pleasantly surprising. In some games, the graphics settings were set to maximum - no drops in fps were noticed. However, for a comfortable game of the same Injustice 2, NFS, Asphalt 8, the settings still had to be lowered.

Camera

Huawei Y5 2017 has two cameras - an 8 MP main camera and a 5 MP front camera. The quality of the pictures, as for a budget employee, is very good. White balance is set correctly in most cases, but focusing and exposure are often missed.

As for the front camera, everything is perfect here. Sharpness is good, white balance, exposure - everything is on point. The photos come out high quality. Perfect for selfies and blogging.

The smartphone can record video in Full HD 1920x1080 30 fps. The sound is recorded in stereo, which is good news. The quality is not perfect, but at a high level.

The camera's settings are rich and can take a long time to figure out, so we won't consider them.

Autonomy

The smartphone's battery life is excellent. With more or less intensive use, the phone easily survives until the evening. If you limit yourself to only calls, SMS, a couple of hours of surfing and online video, then the charge will remain until the next day.

Prices

Huawei smartphones have always been distinguished by their slightly inflated price compared to other manufacturers. This model was no exception, although if you look at the characteristics of the device, its performance and capabilities, the price tag is quite justified.

Today, the Huawei Y5 2017 Gold or White smartphone can be bought for 6700 - this is the most low price. For comparison, the same Galaxy J3 (2017) starts at 10 thousand.

The Huawei Y5 II smartphone was announced in mid-April 2016. This device is a mid-level model in the youngest line Chinese manufacturer. The gadget has a nice design for its class, and also has everything you need for a full acquaintance with operating system Android.

Appearance and ergonomics

It is interesting that the body of the U5 II, although made of plastic, very much resembles metal. There is an aluminum frame along the entire perimeter, making the device even more stylish. The speakers are located on the bottom edge, reminiscent of an iPhone. At the bottom of the screen are virtual buttons for navigation. On the back side, in addition to the enlarged camera eye and flash, there is a corporate logo. The rounded edges of the case maximize ergonomics. And holding the device in your hand is really pleasant, even for a long time. Dimensions of Y5 II: height - 144 m, width - 72 mm, thickness - 8.9 mm, weight - 135 g. The smartphone is very compact, it is convenient to carry it in your pocket. Case color: black, gold, white, blue and pink.

Display

Huawei U5 II is equipped with a 5-inch display with a very good resolution for its level of 1280 by 720 pixels (HD). Thanks to the IPS matrix, the screen has decent viewing angles. The display is covered with ordinary glass, which actively leaves fingerprints. There is no oleophobic coating here. At the same time, the picture is surprisingly pleasant and bright.

Hardware and performance

Things with the processor in Huawei Y5 II are as follows. The 3G version has a somewhat outdated MediaTek MT6582 chip. But the modification with support for 4G networks has a 64-bit MediaTek processor MT6735 with a maximum frequency of 1300 MHz and four cores. In terms of performance, the devices are almost identical. The only major difference is that the 4G version has a more powerful Mali-T720 3D accelerator, which has a positive effect on the rendering of effects in many games. In the AnTuTu test, both models score 22000-23000 points. The Y5 II runs on Android 5.1 OS with EMUI 3.1 Lite pre-installed. The amount of memory here is minimal - 1 GB of RAM and only 8 GB of storage memory. The user can independently expand the storage up to 64 GB using MicroSD cards.

Communication and sound

The multimedia speaker in the Huawei Y5 II is relatively loud, but without even hints of surround sound. Things are more interesting with the sound in headphones, but even here the quality is far from perfect. And you can talk without any problems, since the voices of the user and the interlocutor are heard well. As already noted, there is a version with support for 4G and slower networks. Model U5 II with 3G cannot work with high-speed LTE networks. And the wireless interfaces include Bluetooth 4.0, as well as Wi-Fi (2400 MHz).

Camera

Huawei Y5 II has at its disposal an 8-megapixel camera with advanced aperture 2.0 and dual flash. But in reality, the quality of the image leaves much to be desired. Almost all photographs come out heavily overexposed. But noises appear even with the slightest absence of strong sun. With properly working autofocus, you can shoot objects close to the camera quite well. But only macro photography can please the user. It is noteworthy that the front 2-megapixel camera is equipped with a separate flash. Therefore, it is possible to take simple selfies even at night.

conclusions

The budget smartphone Y5 II from Huawei honestly earns its $120 cost. There are no obvious features in it, but the whole device turned out to be quite balanced. If you want to become the owner of an ordinary smartphone with a basic set of functions, then the Huawei Y5 II will be an excellent option.

Pros:

  • Nice design.
  • Bright display.
  • Nice price.
  • Modern OS.

Minuses:

  • Frankly weak main camera.
  • Bad external speaker.

Video reviews

As many experts admit, Huawei Y9 is perhaps one of the most interesting representatives of the “Y” model line in our online store. Despite the fact that it was initially positioned as a budget smartphone, the smartphone was able to raise the bar high in its class due to its excellent technical characteristics.

Durable monoblock

The Huawei Y9 smartphone is made in a laconic metal case with a classic design. The gadget gives the impression of a monolithic and reliable device - all elements fit tightly together, the camera lenses only protrude slightly beyond the back cover, and the screen is protected by durable glass that is resistant to cracks and scratches.

The matte finish on the back cover not only prevents stains from appearing on the surface of the case, but also creates a pleasant tactile sensation. The rather large device feels great in the hand due to its small thickness of only 7.9 mm and weight of 170 grams.

Excellent picture even in bright sun


Huawei Y9 has a large 5.93-inch IPS display with an 18:9 aspect ratio, which occupies almost 76.7% of the front panel surface. Due to the high brightness level of up to 376 nits, the picture remains readable even under direct light. Rich and contrasting colors, high detail – excellent screen characteristics were achieved through a combination high resolution Full HD+ and high density pixels at 407 ppi.

The smartphone will please those who require an impressive display without unnecessary details. Given the absence of frames and unnecessary cutouts, a large amount of information can be placed on the screen, which is critical when watching wide-screen videos, working with mobile sites and running games with an abundance of screen interfaces.

The power of 8 cores


Huawei Y9 has high performance among representatives of the mid-price category. The manufacturer did not skimp and installed on board the gadget a powerful 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 659 processor with a frequency of 2.36 GHz and a Mali-T830 MP2 graphics accelerator.

The most graphically advanced modern games, such as World Of Tanks, PUBG and Mortal Kombat X, run without stuttering or lags at high settings.

Do you need to browse forums or work with applications while playing? There will be no problems with this thanks to a solid supply of 3 GB of RAM, which ensures stable operation in multitasking mode.

The built-in storage is rated at 32 GB, but the memory can be increased 8 times with a memory card up to 256 GB.

To ensure uninterrupted communication, the smartphone is equipped with slots for two SIM cards. It is worth noting the impressive data transfer speed. While most mid-budget smartphones reach speeds of up to 150 Mbps, Huawei Y9 supports full 4G at speeds of up to 301 Mbps.

4 cameras for better shots


In terms of camera quality, Huawei Y9 can easily compete not only with top flagships, but also with professional DSLRs. The main camera received a dual lens of 13 and 2 MP with an f/2.2 aperture. The sensitive sensor allows you to create excellent detailed images not only during the day, but also in low light conditions, even despite the lack of optical stabilization.

The front photo module is also made double – 8 and 2 MP. The camera not only stylishly blurs the background when shooting portraits, but also absorbs large quantity Sveta. This gives you the opportunity to experiment with depth of field while taking selfies, creating one stunning shot after another.

In addition, the front camera can recognize the face of its owner, which is used to unlock the smartphone.

4 days on one charge

We recommend buying Huawei Y9 for those who are not used to depending on a power outlet. A battery with an impressive capacity of 4000 mAh and the ability to optimize energy consumption allows you to use the device for 2 days in the most active modes. Turn down the brightness a little, turn off 4G - and the smartphone indicator will signal the need to recharge only after 4 days!

Over the course of the week, I conducted a survey of owners of various smartphones, including Huawei U9, and based on their answers, I will write a review about it.

What Huawei y9 owners like:

First of all, of course, the price, all owners of Huawei U9 are glad that for such a price they purchased such a high-quality smartphone, without glitches and problems.
Also, almost all users noted the metal body of the smartphone with a matte finish, thanks to which it does not deteriorate. appearance because of fingerprints.
And of course dual cameras front and back, which allow you to take high-quality pictures even in poor lighting. And selfie lovers praised the photo quality of the front camera. In general, Huawei smartphone manufacturers rely on cameras, because... For many buyers, the quality of photos and videos is a priority when choosing mobile phone. And even such a middle-class smartphone has a quite advanced camera built in. Respect to the developers.
Several owners praised the sound of the headphones, the lack of extraneous noise, and the ability to customize the equalizer to their liking. The same applies to the quality of communication; when talking on the phone, the interlocutor can be heard very well.
Those who like to block access to their personal device from unauthorized persons noted the excellent performance of the fingerprint scanner, as well as the face unlock function, which works without problems even if the owner wears glasses. In complete darkness this function It doesn’t work very efficiently, but I think the light picture on the screensaver will work good decision this shortcoming.
There were no negative comments about the battery life either; everyone is happy; with active use, the battery lasts about 40 hours.
I almost forgot, representatives of the fair sex, every single one, noted the beautiful design of the smartphone. The large display and beautiful appearance attracts the attention of girls. Huawei Y9 is sold in 3 colors: black, blue and gold.

Over the past few years, the line of smartphones has been supplemented with numerous new products, which has significantly complicated the choice for users. Reviews of models describing the advantages and disadvantages have become especially popular. In this regard, we present our extended review of one of the new and already popular gadgets - the Huawei Y9 (2018) smartphone with all its advantages and disadvantages.

The first thing that interests many is the ratio of cost and functionality of the gadget. It can be classified as an average price category in its class of smartphones. Huawei is not Vertu, but it is not inferior to it, that is, if you want to show off a beautiful and useful thing, then take it - don’t think about it.

Advantages and disadvantages of the case

The second is respectability. Stylish, laconic design, ergonomic body with a good display, uniqueness and good review which is given minimal frames. The rounded edges of the case add an element of grace, and the metal back cover- feeling of reliability. The smartphone is available in three colors: blue, classic black and, for the buyer with a claim, in a gold case.

Advantages of the case:

  • Ergonomics;
  • Shockproof metal back cover;
  • Convenient side buttons.

Case disadvantages:

  • Large dimensions, making it difficult to fit in one hand;
  • It is difficult to operate the display buttons with one hand.

Purely in terms of external characteristics, the smartphone can be classified as a massive and oversized male model, but in an elegant gold case it will perfectly complement a glamorous female image.

Display and its features

Huawei Y9 is presented in a 5.9-inch display, complemented by an IPS matrix and the currently popular aspect ratio of 18 by 9. The screen resolution is excellent - 2160 by 1080.

Display advantages:

  • High picture quality, clarity;
  • The color spectrum is wide, the colors are rich, the halftones are not blurred, excellent contrast;
  • The minimized frame creates a full image.

Display disadvantages:

  • There is glare, and in the sun the image quality deteriorates significantly;
  • A small margin of screen brightness.

The fact that there are fewer disadvantages already speaks in favor of the smartphone, as well as the fact that it justifies its cost. Let's study further.

Productivity as the most important and difficult factor

Average users treat this issue with little interest, since few people are familiar and understand most of the terms used in this topic. Because of this, we will try to reveal this point as simply and clearly as possible.

So, being an experienced user who is familiar with many models, I will note the rather good performance of the gadget in my price segment. What distinguishes the smartphone from many other brethren is the Kirin 650, paired with the Mali-T830 MP2 graphics chip. In practice or during use, the latter allow you to expand the range of toys, and also significantly improves the quality of graphics, that is, the pictures in games are clear, and the applications themselves do not freeze. These add-ons also improve the quality of photos and videos.

Advantages:

  • Memory available in three configurations – 3/32/64/128 GB;
  • Most popular games run easily on medium settings;
  • For photography, dual modules are provided - 13/16 MP;
  • Decent quality of pictures and videos, sometimes better than that of competing models.

Flaws:

  • When shooting at night, noise is observed and grain appears;
  • The poor quality of the sensor, in particular, the fingerprint scanner does not always respond.

With only two shortcomings, this is the best indicator of smartphone performance.

Advantages and disadvantages of Huawei Y9 (2018) through the eyes of a professional

Having familiarized myself with numerous reviews and reviews of the new smartphone, I hasten to note that some of them are outright mediocrity, and some are concrete stupidity, and therefore, I hasten to summarize the characteristics of this gadget to present its advantages and disadvantages more or less adequately.

Advantages:

  • Laconic, presentable design;
  • Above average performance;
  • Increased autonomy;
  • Two dual, essentially four cameras.

Flaws:

  • Type-C connector is missing;
  • The manufacturer did not indicate the NFC module in the specifications, but it is present.

To complete the review, it is advisable to provide some characteristics and test results.

What the AnTuTu Huawei Y9 test showed

This test rated the performance of the smartphone in question at 7.4 points, I’ll immediately note that in comparison with its other brothers, the new product received an average score, taking 6th place. But Yandex-market gave the model primacy, based on the criterion of demand and relevance.

Experts also note that previously models with the letter Y did not exceed the cost of up to 10 thousand; a smartphone released in 2018 exceeded this mark, which means that it is already difficult to characterize it as a budget one, but it is still possible, since in the last couple of years prices for gadgets and technology have increased. Thus, experts in this field classify the model as an average gadget in terms of price and functionality.

What experts didn’t note, but users noticed

User assessments of the gadget are also ambiguous, and sometimes extremely contradictory. The latter can be attributed to low awareness of new smartphones and similar technology in general. Another part of users expects a masterpiece of “digital creativity” for that amount. But let's look at user reviews.

So, all opinions begin in the standard way, they say, the model is not bad, but... then they list the disadvantages:

  • Most people note poor screen visibility in the bright rays of the daytime sun. It turned out a little poetic, but this is a big minus, especially for those who are forced to often be on the street.
  • The fingerprint scanner often lags. The experts also agreed with this shortcoming, which confirms that the users are right.
  • The sensor buttons also did not satisfy users, finding them not particularly convenient.
  • Particularly advanced comrades, in quotes, “got lost” in the smartphone interface, unable to cope with the settings, naturally, they noted this as one of the significant disadvantages - and this is in the 21st century.
  • Many people have complaints about the camera's performance, especially in automatic mode. In the distant view of the shooting, the photos look like they were painted (I can argue here, since this is noted as clear and bright photographs).
  • When watching a video, it is impossible to remove the work bar, which interferes with viewing.
  • The gadget takes a very long time to charge.

Advantages noted by users:

  • Users noted a unique “hype” - the gadget reflects its “face” and perfectly recognizes its owner by it.
  • Big screen.
  • The rear camera does not protrude.
  • The basic set includes headphones, protective film and silicone case– this is savings for the user.
  • The phone is fast and, most importantly, strong – it can withstand falls.
  • High quality photos in shooting mode front camera. (so please people).
  • There is a lot of delight in the battery life - when surfing the Internet, watching videos and talking, the charge lasts for one and a half days, if you just read books and carry on conversations, then for two days, but listening to music limits the charge to one day of use.
  • The presence of the “Ultra” mode extends the battery charge by 3 days.
  • There are no useless applications or other software garbage installed by the helpful manufacturer that cannot be removed.
  • Excellent sound when talking (one thing is that not only the person talking on the phone can hear perfectly well, but also the entire tram).
  • Presentable appearance.

To sum up, Huawei Y9 is a worthy invention of its manufacturer, as well as of our time. The low cost of the gadget makes it possible for the average user with no less than the average income to touch the masterpieces of scientific and technical thought.
