Slow slow slow – Slow phone. Looks good though. It’s slow just to move to the dial screen to type in a phone number. I don’t recommend this phone. Might be suitable for individuals who don’t care if it’s slow and may not notice lag as much. For someone who spends a lot of time on their phone, I don’t recommend it. Show details
decent phone but worth getting – not a bad phone alot better phones but good for a cheap phone battrey life good camera pretty bad and youtube graphics are not great can be glitchie but works well with games the most annoying thing is when people call u its comes up with unknown even when u put them on contacts Show details
Why Five Y5 – Given 5 stars very practical size the battery way out lasts my previous phone camera gives excellent pictures even in dim lighting so much so that useage as a camera alone is value for money bought this year 2019 as well tried by others previously Show details
Great phone – The Huawei Y5 2018 is a great phone, I use it every day to watch YouTube and play games on it, I haven't had it freeze on me too much but most phones freeze now and then. All my apps work well and with no interruptions. Show details
Great for the internet (Sort'a), but useless for its primary task – _HUAWEI Y5 2018_DRA LO1_ Android Smart Phone_ ****Alright fairs fair before I completely dismiss the Huawei Y5 Smart Android as an actual mobile phone, I would like to say it makes for an excellent WI FI hot spot that absolutely outclasses pocket wi fi by speed comparsion , it's quick online connection capability ,and excellent wi to hot spot… Read more
ability is this mobiles key point, and only point.I use this mobile as a WI FI hot spot only, and my reliable but very slow Pocket WI FI is now in the bin.****
But it's primary task as a mobile ? well it fails miserably, and I don't make calls on mine anymore , a real dog of a thing,to put it mildly.
Well some things are smart and quick and some things are even smarter and that much quicker ,take the HUAWEI Y5 Android smarie pants as an example ,it's so smart and the touch screen so senstive ,that you are forever typing and retyping. After finding that the Huawei spell-checker or complete phrase re speller( the worst spell checker ever invented ) wastes your precious time yet again ! so you are forever checking to re edit Huawei's spell checker spelling mistakes. Touch screen too sensitive and too quick with the wrong shape. Huawei obviously have shown some smart innovotation on product releases recently and will undoubtedly get much much better ( ten years ?) in the advanced instant online connection features obviously world leaders, good sound could be better here as well , picture quality ? both Samsung and Apple both thrash Huawei in HD picture quality and photo/picture editing ability (it's only basic) 1440 x 720 wrong screen size and shape, portrait and landscape auto slow switching sometimes freezing really annoying. 2 GB RAM ? Slow az for some reason, memory HD tiny.
Battery life pathetic takes twice as long to recharge after only 6 months ,again Samsung and Apple are far superior to Huawei.
Huawei digital cameras are always a let down ,Samsung kills them in HD picture quality.
Now the fun part , try and make a quick call , forget about it ,the worst mobile ever invented to actually make a call on , the longish screen is a nuisance because you can't lock in Portait/ Landscape mode permanently yourself Huawei conveniently auto magically does this for you, just great if you happen to be typing on the touch screen and bingo its landscape mode again and you clicked on something else and guess what ?, You waste your precious time yet again.Missed calls are a permanent feature of the HUAWEI Y5, your friends will tell you to purchase a new smart phone.
I seriously doubt there would be anyone on this planet who owned a Huawei mobile and who actually answered a call or touch screen dial-ed a mobile number without cursing the dog of a thing after it stuffs up yet again.
As I said ,a great WI FI hot spot but a dog of a mobile
Mobile Calls 0/10 Super fast internet connection speed 10/10 WI FI Hot Spot 10/10
An unusual Mobile the Huawei Y5 Android, the best damn hot spot I ever owned.
Good backup phone – Huawei Y5 2018 Android 8.0 No home button. Screen is good. Offer sd card expandion With contacts. It is a bit slow to load the names. I am satisfy with this phone with this price Show details
Far better than we Expected! – Thought we'd take a punt after reading reviews - Under $120 AU NEW. Went with Huawei just because Washington and friends are out to 'wreck' Huawei... GPS is very accurate. We use 'Here' a navigation app as opposed to G/Maps. Camera is much better than many other higher level phones. and has many advanced features. My wife likes it better than… Read more
her iPhone6 and is selling that to buy a Huawei also. Memory card addition is a big plus We don't play games, so don't care about CPU/ Graphic speeds. However every app runs very well. Looks nice, feels solid, not too bad in sunlight - And fits my work shirt pocket, which is essential for guys. All in all worth way more than the investment. Good one Huawei - You've scored a new loyal customer.
