Huawei has today announced a new addition to its Huawei Y series of smartphones with the release of the entry-level Huawei Y6 (2018).The device is a follow up to last year's Huawei Y6 and Y6 pro, and as expected, it should get a modest price tag as with the previous generation of Y6 series.

With a design similar to the Huawei Nova 2 lite, the Huawei Y6 (2018) highlights Huawei’s signature FullView display, the face unlock feature and a modest 3000mAh battery.

The device flaunts a 5.7” display with the trendy 18:9 ratio, HD+ resolution (1440 x 720 pixels) and runs off a 1.8GHz Snapdragon 450 processor, paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage with the option to expand it via a microSD slot.

It has a rear camera set up that looks like a dual camera arrangement, but it is a single camera with LED flash. The sensors clocks in at a 13-megapixel resolution with f/2.2 aperture, Phase Detection Autofocus, and an 8 MP snapper with some basic AR lens effects for fancier selfies.

The smartphone runs Android 8.0 Oreo-based EMUI 8.0 on top with a couple of AI-based features and comes with full connectivity options including 4G LTE, VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth, GPS and a micro USB port for charging and data transfer.
