Review of Huawei Y9: the budget has gone over. Smartphone Huawei Y5 II Black (CUN-U29) - Voice and sound

The Chinese company Huawei has long been entrenched in the mobile phone market. It is steadily becoming one of the top five most popular brands in the growth of smartphones and tablets around the world, doing better than only such giants as Samsung, Apple and others.

Huawei devices earn the respect of their colleagues not only with their beautiful design and excellent characteristics, but also with their prices. Today, she has in stock gadgets for any price segment, including budget models, which are increasingly gaining popularity and becoming relevant.

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

look around

First of all, let’s start looking at the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone, I’d like to briefly tell you what you’ll be looking at. First of all, we are familiar with the equipment of the device, its external appearance, design and ergonomics. Then we will take a closer look at the display, technical characteristics, operating system and productivity. The article will be completed with an introduction to multimedia functions, a camera, an hour of autonomous work and a video about the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone.

Equipment

Also, the phone is delivered in a small rectangular box in a bright orange color. In front, there is no name of the manufacturer and model, and at the back, the main characteristics of the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone are already updated: GB of internal memory, 2 GB of RAM, 5-inch screen, 3000 mA/year battery, 4G support otherwise. More information about the specifications of the devices can be found in the corresponding paragraph of the article.

In the middle of the box you can find the following: Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone, instructions, warranty card, charger unit, micro-USB cable, headphones and a liquid on the phone screen. In general, the equipment is poor for a budget device.

Of course, I would like to get rid of some kind of silicone case as an extra, but without it everything is just wonderful.

External look

The external appearance of the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone is gorgeous, despite the plastic body. By the way, the plastic here is even clearer and easier to use. Only the frame is made of metal, which enhances the stylish appearance. The 2016 model had no metal elements at all.

On the back side of the smartphone there is the Huawei logo, a camera lens, a metal edge that protrudes slightly from the body. The camera was removed from the light-colored bed and the microphone was opened, which records the sound when the video is taken.

The cutouts and borders of the device are rounded, it is easy to trim in the hand and acceptably. I would also like to note the corrugated structure of the back cover of the phone, which looks simply amazing.

On the right side, following the tradition, there are rotating keys for adjusting the volume and a button for turning on / blocking the device.

On the left side, the company's proprietary "smart" button - "Easy key" - was naturally placed. Keruvati can be adjusted through the menu. For example, you can set that after pressing a button, the screen icon will be displayed or something else.

Staring at the front panel of the device, it becomes a little crazy. The big big frames around the five-inch display are starting to get really boring. There are also no touch control buttons, they are displayed on the screen, taking up the entire part.

At the top of the screen, you can access the rear speaker, light and proximity sensors, a 5 MP front camera and LED lights so that Selfies can be taken at any time.

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

As far as the cost of collection is concerned, then Huawei smartphones will not have any problems with this. It doesn’t matter to those who think that the Y5 is a budget model, obviously. All parts are fitted one by one, there are no creaks, dents or crunches here.

screen

The Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone has a 5-inch diagonal display. The Vikonan matrix uses IPS technology, allowing 1280x720, the pixel density per inch is 294 ppi, which is generally standard.

There is little respect for the ability to transmit color. The gamma is clearly slightly shifted to the background of cold shades. You can correct the situation using an additional item in the adjustment menu “Color temperature”. If we talk about clarity, then she is at the top here. Text, other details in the photo, pictures - everything is clearly visible.

I look at it badly, but there is a problem with the IPS matrix - when turned to one side, the screen turns yellow, in the other direction it turns violet. You can say this about the display - it clearly does not show any factory calibration.

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

Characteristics

Technical characteristics of the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone may be available:

• The processor has a frequency of 1400 MHz.
• Graphic video clipper - Mali-T720 MP2.
• The volume of RAM is 2 GB.
• The volume of stored memory is 16 GB + support for memory cards up to 128 GB.
• Camera - 8 MP, autofocus, double-light LED.
• Front camera - 5 MP, light-emitting diode.
• Screen - 5 inches, IPS, 1280x720, 294 ppi.
• Number of SIM cards - 2.
• - nano + micro.
• Battery - 3000 mAh.
• Dodatkovo - light sensor, proximity sensor, compass, voice dialing.

In general, it’s completely bad, for a budget model. Particularly pleasing is the possibility of expanding the internal memory using an additional slot for microSD.

zv'azok

If we talk about the brightness of the connection, then the phone is completely balanced. The volume of the outer speaker is good, the speaker is a little kinder, the voice is not distorted. As there is a need to support drone-free technologies, the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone has 4G and 3G. GSM standards are supported throughout: 900/1800/1900. Bluetooth in the device Varto version 4.0.

Operating system

The smartphone comes with the Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) operating system. The shell is based on the company Emotion UI 4.1. The likelihood that this device supports Android version 7.0 is very low, but it is still a budget option.

As for the interface itself, the outer shell is completely receptive and can be cleaned manually. Optimization also does not fail. The larynx, opening and various transitions pass smoothly, without clenching. There was also no mention of any kind of galvanization.

productivity

The processor in the Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone is installed from Kirin, and from MediaTek, version MT6737T. I don’t want to talk about this “pebble” in particular, because it is unlikely to be placed in the third apparatus of other vibrators. The processor operates at a clock frequency of 1.4 GHz, which is completely sufficient for the budget segment.

The video clip is also not the cool Adreno, but the Mali-T720 MP2. Its productivity is incredible and allows you to play most mobile games, including Asphalt, NFS, WoT, without much effort.

The Antutu phone dialed 40754 points, which is completely bad, looking at your class. This display markedly revamps the 2017 model from Samsung - the Galaxy J3. And if the prices of both devices are equal, then Huawei clearly has the advantage here.

To test the graphics, a number of games were launched: Riptide 2, Asphalt 7/8, Modern Combat 5, Real Racing 3, Inhustice 2. The result was acceptable. For some games, the graphics settings were set to maximum - no fps drops were noted. However, for a comfortable game in the same Injustice 2, NFS, Asphalt 8, the settings still had to be changed.

Camera

The Huawei Y5 2017 has two cameras - an 8 MP main one and a 5 MP front camera. The number of pictures, as for a budget employee, is really bad. White balance is set correctly in most cases, but the focus and exposure axis is often missed.

As for Frontalki, everything is perfect here. Sharpness is good, white balance, exposure - everything is equal. The photo comes out clearly. For selfies and blog posts the same.

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

There are a lot of setups at the camera, it will take a long time to figure them out, but we won’t look at them.

autonomy

With the autonomy of the smartphone, everything is fine. With more or less intense scrubbing, the phone lives quietly until the evening. If you spend more than just texts, texts, a couple of years of surfing and online video, you will run out of charge before the next day.

prices

Huawei smartphones have always been sold at a guaranteed price, on par with other manufacturers. This model did not become a culprit, although I would like to admire the characteristics of the device, its productivity and capability, then the price tag is entirely justified.

Today the Huawei Y5 2017 Gold or White smartphone can be purchased for 6700 - the lowest price. To put things into perspective, the same Galaxy J3 (2017) starts at 10 thousand.

Budget smartphones were initially simple “dialers” that allowed you to surf the Internet for a little while. At the same time, inexpensive smartphones tend to use the same forces as older models, but in this case they will lose the same inexpensive ones. For example, Huawei Y5 2018 has an 18:9 screen, 4G support, and a large microSD slot.

Technical characteristics

External look

Huawei Y5 2018 is one of the company's most affordable smartphones, so it is difficult to distinguish any features in the design and materials of the body. Well, no less, the smartphone doesn’t look too cheap. The cover and frame are made of clear plastic with a matte finish. The smartphone is available in two colors - black and blue. And while the black modification may have problems with the markings on the body, the blue version, which was tested before us, has “fingers” marked only under the changes of the hard light, for example, the sleeping area or the sun.

There are no problems with assembly - all panels are well fitted, there are no uneven joints or large gaps. What was most impressive was the high torsional rigidity of the body, which is something you don’t expect from a budget plastic smartphone without a metal frame in the stand. But you still have to worry about it - when lightly tapping on the body, actively hold the locking and pressure control keys.

In front of the display there is a speaker, a front camera, a brightness/proximity sensor, and also a front panel, tucked into a visible slope. There is only a small chamber block and a thin cover, which protrudes slightly above the lid.

On the left side there is a tri-section tray for installing a pair of SIM cards in the nanoSIM format and media in the microSD format, which can be stored in the smartphone. On the right side there is a locking key and pressure control button.

At the top of the installation there is a standard audio connection, and at the bottom there is a single microphone and a microUSB connector.

display

The tested smartphone has an IPS matrix with a diagonal of 5.45 inches and a resolution of 720 * 1440 (HD +), with the new-fangled 18:9 aspect ratio. The display is not particularly afraid of scuffs and scuffs. The entire display frame is complete. However, with a budget smartphone it’s difficult to get a larger one. Although it’s important not to guess here, there are no natural boundaries for anyone. The display recognizes up to 5 one-hour pressures, which is often not sufficient.

When setting the maximum light intensity, the brightness of the white field becomes 422.94 cd/m2, while the brightness of the black field becomes only 0.384 cd/m2, so the static contrast becomes 1101: 1. The results are good in principle, and for budget decisions it’s the same Vіdmіnnі.

Adjusting the quality of life of the little ones. In fact, only adjustments are made to the blue filter (the so-called “night mode”), as well as adjustment of the color temperature. Please note that we are testing displays with color temperature settings after preparation, otherwise we had to make mistakes and make corrections, because in the standard mode, the display of Delta E coefficients on the gray wedge goes off scale (up to 27.5), and on the main colors (RGBCMY ) reaches a value of 12.6, at which the color temperature is extremely strongly protected, and the balance of quantities is completely dominated by the blue warehouse. When the adjustment knob is tightened in the extreme left position (warm colors), the maximum variation of Delta E on the main colors is less than 5.2, and on gray shades it does not exceed 8, which is a very good indicator for a budget smartphone. In addition, the color temperature is close to ideal, and in all ranges of color shades. By the way, with the introduction of simple manual adjustments, the entire display will create images with accurate color images. Okremo varto indicates the high reliability of the vimiryanaya standard value of 2.2.

sound

Here the smartphone in the wider world shows its budget nature. First of all, only one microphone is used. In principle, there is no talk about active noise-attenuation, and there is no visible microphone for video recording. Otherwise, a smartphone only has one speaker, which combines the functions of the speaker and the system speaker. And since the speakers cope well with the first tasks, then with the creation of music and ringing melodies everything will be completed successfully. The sound is flat, inexpressible, with weak detail, the low-frequency range is faded, the high-frequency range is poorly processed.

However, the smartphone is not positioned as a multimedia processor, although the ringing melody may be heard in some minds. Ale and here Y5 2018 cannot be particularly pleased. When a test sinusoidal signal with a frequency of 1 kHz was generated at a distance of 1 meter from the smartphone, a level of 66.7 dBA was recorded. And this is one of the best results among all our smartphone tests

Fortunately, on analogue audio output the situation is radically worse. For starters, the volume level on the analog audio output turned out to be very high. When the test signal is set to 32 ohms, the result is 423.7 mV, and when the voltage is 16 ohms, 268.5 mV is detected. PID Test Vannia Sound for the pre-bibliors of Rightmark Audioanalyzer I sound sound Creative E-mu 0204 USB Bula PIDSUMKOV OTSIK “DUZH DOSTRA”, I was focusing for the BAGTAMA DOSLIZHANASIS PARARTERS OF THE BUST nno ". Particularly impressive is the low noise level and wide dynamic range.

Real results 24 bit / 48 kHz

productivity

The smartphone is based on the MediaTek MT6739 system-on-chip. This 64-bit SoC based on 4 Cortex-A53 cores with a frequency of up to 1.5 GHz was specially designed for the most affordable smartphones that operate in 4G. Unfortunately, the video subsystem in the MT6739 is represented by the extremely weak integration solution PowerVR GE8100 with a frequency of 570 MHz, which supports a separate screen size no larger than 720 * 1440 (as in the tested smartphone). Before operating in 4G, there is still no chance of high productivity, since only Cat-4 (DL) / Cat5 (UL) are supported with a limiting data transmission speed of 150 and 50 Mbps per line. And small acceptance bonuses. For example, hardware support for H.265 / HEVC decoding.
System performance was measured in synthetic PCMark, 3DMark, Geekbench 4, AnTuTu v7. The speed of the robot's memory was assessed using the AndroBench add-on. The same testing was carried out in cross-platform javascript tests (Octane, Mozilla Kraken JavaScript and SunSpider). The results of these tests are based on the selected browser, which is Google Chrome, which has the most extensions.
What kind of smartphones you selected:
: MediaTek MT6737T, 3 GB, RAM, 5.5 inches, 720 * 1280;
: MediaTek MT6737, 2GB, RAM, 5.0 inches, 720 * 1280;
: Qualcomm Snapdragon 212, 1 GB, RAM, 5.0 inches, 720 * 1280;

Camera

The smartphone has a separate 5 MP front camera and a bright f/2.2 lens, which is typical for a budget device. The camera showed surprisingly good results with sufficient lighting. Formally, the Huawei Y5 2018 is designed to take selfies in the dark, and also has a light-colored backlight, and with adjustable brightness. But in practice, there is no point in using the light, and even at the maximum level of pressure at a distance of 1 meter, it will provide a brightness of 1.37 lux. No, it’s not a treat - just a little bit is more than 1 lx. The nutrition is deprived of food - in the bedrooms was it still produced and regulated? The screen in split mode (with a white fill displayed) can provide a brightness of approximately 4 lux. If this function is not transferred to the camera settings, then you can not even think about Selfies in the dark.

The main bedrooms were much more powerful - at a distance of 1 meter from the smartphone, a value of 20.45 lux was recorded. However, this is not enough, but there is still enough for the night's sleep. The autofocus axis may only be forced to work in dark conditions, although the front focus illuminator will work correctly. This is clearly a firmware problem, and the fault has been corrected within an hour.

The wide-angle camera is based on a separate 8 MP sensor, with a lens aperture of f/2.2. In general, as with the front camera, the parameters are completely standard for its price class. As seen in the professional (manual) mode, there is no option, but the ability to select a white balance preset, as well as setting the sensitivity level in the range ISO 100 ... 1600 with a threshold of 1 EV.

Transferring camera control to the additional Camera 2 API is impossible, just as shooting in RAW is impossible, so adjusting the matrix density does not make sense due to the highly active noise reduction when saving in JPEG. To evaluate the image brightness, the test pattern is adjusted to sensitivity values ​​of ISO 100-1600 with a threshold of 1 EV. The crop fragments are placed below.

macrozyomka

In macro testing mode, the smartphone tends to focus on specific points, or it focuses on absolutely the wrong object. With the butts pointed lower in the left photo, focusing was carried out on the object in the foreground, in the middle photo - in the middle plan, and also on the distant object in the right photo. Only the object in the foreground was not correctly targeted.

Lighting 50 lux + bedrooms
Lighting 3 lux + sleeping

video recording

The screen below is HD+, and the video in the building can be recorded with FullHD resolution. The speed of the flow is limited to 30 fps. However, there is no particular need for the 1080/30p mode, and the separation of the matrix/lens connection in the center is low, and the edges of the image are very spread out (so that a simple lens can be removed). A similar problem occurs in photo mode, but not so much in still mode. Actually, considering that setting the maximum resolution does not give any benefit, to save space on the device, you can completely get by with the 720 / 30p mode.

Autonomous robot

The smartphone has a battery capacity of 3020 mA * year, which is average for a budget smartphone. For equalization, having a battery with a capacity of 3300 mA * year, - a total of 2630 mA * year, and in the budget “dialer” of a long-term resident, the driver placed a battery with a capacity of 4100 mA * h. In the reading mode, the smartphone was wiped 833 times, in the reading mode Creation FullHD-video - 625 hvilin, and in gri mode - 270 hvilin.

For the complete charging device, it is stated to have modest characteristics - 5V / 1A, and this SoC does not support the fast charging mode. After an hour of testing from 0 to 85%, the charge indicator reached 130 hours, and after that the battery charge required 163 hours. In today's world, there is enough to gain, but in comparison with direct competitors, there is a good result.

visnovok

The smartphone is quite inexpensive, so you can test the camera in just a few minutes. Tim is more in line with this, but in terms of photos and videos, the last one looks better. However, he still has a couple of shortcomings, which are difficult to work out. The most disappointing thing is the weak performance in games, as well as the extremely low sound clarity and loudness of the dynamics (when working in system mode). Otherwise, you need a good-quality smartphone with a good (after manual adjustment) HD+ display and excellent sound on an analog audio output.
cons:
- when tapping on the body, press the physical keys;
- there is no finger reading sensor (some direct competitors have them);
- a single speaker with low sound intensity when operating in system mode;
- productivity in games;
- problems with focusing on closely spaced objects (smartly in macro mode)
- problems with focusing in the dark (maybe it will be fixed in new firmware).
pros:
- high torsional rigidity of the body;
- three separate slots for installing a pair of SIM cards and microSD carriers;
- the display contrast is high for its class;
- the intensity of color transfer to the display after manually setting the color temperature;
- high level of signal on analog audio output;
- high intensity of sound on analog audio output;
- battery charging is complete.

The device, while seemingly ingenious, is not original in appearance, as it does not take into account 4 cameras: 2 in front and 2 in the back. There is nothing else I can do to maintain the device. The colors of the body are standard, the body itself is metal. The finger scanner is round and the fingerprints are located on the back of the device. The cameras are placed in the back, practically do not protrude from the body, which is an absolute advantage to the body. If the smartphone is lying on your back, it is practically impossible to fit. In terms of ergonomics, we don’t have any complaints, the device is handy, it doesn’t try to jump out of your hands. If you are surprised at the device in front, it is important to understand what the model is like. Yakbi did not write Huawei below, it would be important to credit the company. The kit contains a charger that will not provide charging, a standard microUSB cable and a smartphone. As you know, you won’t be surprised at the complete set.

The smartphone runs on the new Android 8 OS, but with Huawei EMUI shell. The interface is friendly, and the best thing is that it works smoothly and without lag. Menu nalashtuvan dosit nasichene. You can also change your screen resolution by downgrading it to HD+. The ability to adjust the screen color temperature, as well as gesture control. Using the on-screen button, you can immediately turn on and switch your smartphone to gestures, which is great, since smartphones from other companies cannot provide you with a wide range of options for controlling the device. You can also consider the “hype” function of recognizing an individual who works well, regardless of the class of the device.

Technical characteristics

• processor

  HiSilicon Kirin 659 4x 2.36 GHz ARM Cortex-A53, 4x 1.7 GHz ARM Cortex-A53

• video processor

As usual, the Huawei device has a powerful processor - 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 659 (4x 2.36 GHz ARM Cortex-A53, 4x 1.7 GHz ARM Cortex-A53). Huawei practically “inserts” this processor into all its inexpensive smartphones. This time they installed a Mali-T830 MP2 video processor to help him, like a star that doesn’t fall from the sky.

memory

The built-in memory is 32 GB, although I would like more. These people can add a memory card up to 256 GB, without having to sacrifice a SIM card, this model can transfer two nanosim and memory cards at the same time. Well, the RAM is 3 GB, which is also really bad.

zv'azok

The only thing we are extremely disappointed with is the availability of NFC. It's really free. All those who do not care about the problem will be satisfied with the reception of the measure and the navigation work. The connection in the device is working well.

Despite the fact that Huawei is increasingly targeting the top segment of the smart phone market, the company has lost popularity in the wider world to even more obvious decisions in the budget segment i. The market is progressing and budget solutions are becoming increasingly clearer and more functional, and at the same time competition among manufacturers is growing.

Just recently, the Huawei company released its new smartphone Y5, which, if not becoming the flagship of the budget segment, at least prevents the leaders of this very difficult segment of the smartphone market from competing with each other. In this article, we present to you our review of Huawei Y5 2017. One wonders how much we value our “guest from the Celestial Empire” and this year’s celebration of our respect and love.

Let us first evaluate the technical characteristics of the Huawei Y5 2017 to better understand what this smartphone is:

• Single-chip system. The processor is a four-core Mediatek MT6737T with a clock frequency of 1400 megahertz. Video clip - ARM Mali-T720 MP2;
• Memory. 16 GB of internal memory plus the ability to expand up to 128 GB using additional memory cards in microSDXC and microSDHC formats. RAM 2 GB;
• Operating system. Android version 6.0 plus proprietary shell EMUI 4.1;
• Rechargeable battery. 3000 mAh Li-Ion, 15 year size. (GSM), 15 hrs. (WCDMA);
• Display. 5-inch touchscreen, native IPS with a separate aspect ratio of 1280 × 720 and a pixel density of 294 ppi;
• Camera. Head - 8 megapixels with an f/2.0 aperture and a retractable LED beam. Front - 5 megapixels with video capture and screen capture function;
• External appearance and dimensions. Plastic monoblock with metal edging. Dimensions - 150 g, 143.8x72x8.4 mm.

As a matter of fact, smartphone stars don’t fall out of the sky, but for a budget device, the performance is greater than ever. What does the koristuvach check in practice - let's talk a little bit below.

Design

Huawei Y5, purchased in 2018, is delivered in a very beautiful small bright red box, which contains: the phone itself, a USB cable, a charger and instructions. Everything looks very nice, but the equipment itself is too much for this price category and there is nothing particularly noteworthy.

Having taken a first glance at the device, it immediately becomes clear that the designers this time did not try very hard to create something unexpected. I want the new appearance of the device and does not cause an annoying effect, but rather than just a straight piece of plastic. In light colors, the body looks rather lacking in taste, the situation is characterized by a black color, and in any case, we would recommend that you look at the smartphone before purchasing.

If there are no tactile sensations, then the smartphone lies in your hand and receives the message. However, such an effect can only be achieved with a textured rear end, which seems to be cheap and unreliable, but in practice it is well-fitted, there is no play at all and it gives the device integrity Yes.

However, right under the roof we found an unknown battery, which greatly confused us. Of course, now the era of all-metal housings has arrived, in which it is simply physically impossible to replace the battery. If we can still remove the battery cover on smartphones, we would like to be able to easily replace the battery. Still, the technology of lithium-ion batteries has not yet gone far, and over time they are gradually losing their capacity.

Also under the cover there are two slots for SIM cards and one slot for a memory card. Right away, we were filled with a lot of joy, because today you can use not so many devices that you can quickly use both your cards and a memory card at the same time. And then they noted that the size of the cards in the phone is due to the fact that one card is in micro format, and one is nano. This simply means that you cannot completely combine them, since you will need to quickly exchange not only your own cards, but also, for example, new cards or cards of friends. Unfortunately, the vibrator was working so hard that we couldn’t confirm.

The design of the smartphone is evidenced by the metal edging of the body, which looks very stylish, and the inscription “Huawei” at the bottom of the screen. Before speaking, seemingly, like a decision is also a great debate. On the one hand, this takes away important elements from the “personality” of the smartphone, and on the other hand, it migrates to the display in a virtual view, through which you can see as little color space on the screen as possible. We especially feel that it can be quite annoying to watch a disproportionate screen for hours, especially in games.

Regarding the functional elements in Huawei Y5, in principle, everything is standard. Speaker and front camera, sensors in the front, camera and rear in the back, speaker and micro-USB socket on the bottom, 3.5 mm jack and noise reduction device, power button and volume adjustment dial on the right side. And the axis of evil gives us a surprise - a richly functional button. On the other hand, the fashion for such smart buttons is long gone and practically no one is using them anymore, Huawei is losing true traditions and depriving this element in the design of 2017. When pressed, you can assign any number of actions to this key, be it the camera shutter, the screenshot button, or a menu click or whatever. Theoretically, you can link virtually any add-on installed on your phone to this button.

If we sum up the pouches based on their appearance as a whole, then we have no further complaints. The smartphone is equipped with a lot of clear materials, which in this and other worlds fully reflect its price category. And the axis from the point of view of the design, then the manufacturer could try a little more beautifully. Still, in the market of budget smartphones, where the technical filling is very expensive for the buyer, a bright design could play a significant role.

display

Huawei Y5 is equipped with a five-inch IPS display with a separate screen of 1280x720 pixels and a pixel density of 294 ppi. Even though the current characteristics for a smartphone in 2017 and in 2018, this proposition is no longer relevant and useful. However, just because the technical characteristics of the screen are amazing, the IPS matrix itself is boring.

At first glance, it’s really bad, but if you’ve been using your phone for a little while longer, you start to notice it’s even worse than for an IPS display when you look at it, but when you get a small amount of it, the image starts to invert, which is not possible for a matrix of this type. In addition, while the black color is never standard on such displays, the white color, however, will always be clean, what is called “clean white,” in the Y5 smartphone the white color is not pure white at all, but seems to Let's get jealous with the light. However, let’s not forget that the device is budget-friendly and you can use the matrix on the road, so let’s just praise the Y5 screen for its natural transmission and destruction.

The screen of the Huawei Y5 is richly visible due to the large black frames around the edges of the display. However, we didn’t notice the stench as it spread over the wide ones. So, perhaps, the frames of the Y5 are not the thinnest ones that have been put on the market and have become available today, but they are not the ones for which this smartphone should be criticized. And the axis of virtual functional buttons in various additions can be expanded. This is especially serious in games that are displayed on the entire screen, when these buttons crop one of the edges of the picture and make the image disproportionate.

The brightness of the Huawei Y5 screen, depending on the technical characteristics, is 372 cd/m2, which is just a little bit, and on a bright sunny day of maximum brightness the phone may not be visible. However, the farbies themselves in the sun become unnoticeable and are practically not encountered. While there is a need to adjust, there are not as many of them as we would like; the only options available are mainly brightness control and color temperature adjustment.

The phone’s display itself is covered with a dry scratch and has an oleophobic coating, which is bad for a budget model. However, if you carefully read the instructions, you can understand that the glass is not very resistant to rags, so for the sake of safety, add spit, otherwise it will still end up getting dry.

sound

The sound of Huawei Y5 can be described in one word - “normal”. It’s true, there’s nothing special about it, but within its price category, the smartphone sounds really bad. You may not be able to listen to music, since you won’t be able to convey all its beauty, but watching videos, ringing alarms, or setting an alarm on your phone will become a nuisance.

The smartphone is placed under another corner, so you can listen to music in good headphones. In this type of wine, it is quite suitable to create sparkles and folded compositions. And the noise axis in the Y5 headphones is not that high. As for our relish, such richness completely disappears, but lovers of a truly booming sound may be disappointed. However, Y5 is not positioned as a music smartphone, so it also needs to be respected.

As long as there is a problem with the loudspeaker, there are no further complaints. The speaker was a little kinder, the voice was even more recognizable, there were no extraneous noises or chattering either. In general, the phone performs its “dialer” function on a par.

cameras

Cameras in Huawei smartphones have always been a strong point, and the Y5 is not a culprit of this rule. If I consider the price of the device, the cameras installed here are of a high standard, and the photos of the Huawei Y5 2017 look really good.

The main camera of the phone is equipped with an eight-megapixel module, f / 2.0 aperture and a double-light LED lens. Pictures from the main camera come out very clear, the colors are very good, and the colors are very close to natural, just like a big eye. There is not a lot of noise in the pictures, and the separate design of the camera is really bad for its class. However, during the daytime there is no longer any noise, but at night the noise becomes much louder, and the pictures become more blurred in appearance. It is also possible to increase the focusing speed of the camera even more, instead of checking the autofocus, it is much easier to focus the images manually, and at the same time there is no need for a good camera.

Also, the head camera can record clear video in FullHD format. Now, in 2018, a budget smartphone can boast of such quality, so we know this function is not at all a conquest.

The front camera is also good and actually captures a little more than the main one. The main camera has a single five-megapixel module instead of eight, otherwise the front camera can also record video in a high-separate area and is light I slept last night. From this it can be seen that this smartphone is a bad idea for Selfie lovers because they don’t have a penny for a more expensive phone.

This phone also has all the necessary basic settings for the camera’s capabilities for the smile detector image, feature recognition, selection of a key for capturing, adjusting the white balance, etc. However, most of the settings that power more expensive phones are not available in the Y5, and sometimes they are not accessible. Still, it’s a strange decision to put a clear camera in a budget smartphone, without giving them the opportunity to realize their full potential.

Memory and memory card

Huawei Y5 2017 is equipped with two gigabytes of RAM, which, in principle, is already a standard in today's world, but as it used to be for all purposes. So, if you want, you won’t be able to open ten tabs in your browser or launch a bunch of important games at once, otherwise on your daily phone you will be completely stuck, and your robot will be smooth.

The smartphone has 16 gigabytes of Swedish flash memory on board, of which approximately ten gigabytes are available. This results in a nasty result, since in most surges, manufacturers reserve significantly more space for storage, and only a gigabyte of free space is available for storage. At any time, the phone also supports memory cards in micro-SD format up to 128 gigabytes in size and allows them to be used simultaneously with two SIM cards.

zv'azok

The smartphone supports all current high-speed weather conditions and ensures good signal reception at a wide distance from the populated area. The device also performs well in the presence of such formats as 3G and 4G, which, of course, is quite pleasing.

However, to be surprised on the other hand, the Y5 equipment is already equipped with the old version of Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n and Bluetooth 4.0, which can be critical when using the latest drone-free devices.

An hour of autonomous work and productivity

The productivity of Huawei Y5 is ensured by the Mediatek MT6737T single-chip system and, apparently, the star does not rise from the sky. If it’s already completely screwed up, then there’s no need for anything else. The main purpose of such chipsets is to provide a pleasant level of productivity without being expensive. Virologists are willing to install such systems in their smartphones first in order to see the budget for other functions or components.

Mediatek MT6737T is a four-core processor with a clock frequency of 1.4 GHz, based on Cortex A-53 cores and based on a 28-nanometer process technology. This chip ensures incredible smoothness when working with basic add-ons, allows you to feel comfortable when surfing the Internet with a small number of open tabs, and also allows you to navigate completely smooth 3D games. In the popular AnTuTu benchmark, Huawei Y5 2017 based on this single-chip system scores approximately 40,000 points, which puts it on par with devices running on Snapdragon 425 systems.

The graphics in this system are supported by the Mali-T720 MP2 video core. This graphical system is already too old, so it will no longer be able to handle important daily games. However, most of the older and more difficult games of Denmark are difficult to cope with. It is impossible to say that all games “fly”, but the smartphone will provide a pleasant frame rate for a comfortable gaming process.

During intense work, be it active Internet surfing or 3D gaming, the smartphone gets very hot. We don’t worry about those that will burn out or similar horror stories, since such behavior, which goes beyond everything, indicates the bad heat-conducting power of the body. If you're holding a hot phone in your hands, it's unacceptable to listen. So if you plan to use the Y5 for these purposes, then ask about buying a cover or bumper.

The hour of autonomous robot was also very pleasing. In reading mode, the smartphone takes a long time to last, the battery life has lasted for about ten more years, and the battery powered by 3000 milliamps has already lasted for about 3-5 years of continuous operation. On the one hand, it’s bad, but on the other hand, with such a large battery, we felt the result was better.

software platform

The Y5 smartphone runs on the Android operating system version 6.0 and is equipped with the proprietary EMUI 4.1 shell. Among the latest news from Huawei, there has not yet been any information about the transfer of this line of phones to a newer version of Android. Therefore, having said everything, the owners of these devices will no longer refuse updates throughout the world, and the only way out will be manual updates at your own peril and risk.

EMUI 4.1 is known that there is no powerful menu of add-ons, you can only customize a simple mode that allows you to add icons, effects and deprive the main functions. Add-ons in EMUI 4.1 are distributed across different screens and placed in folders, in which you can traditionally find the well-known Yandex services, Opera browser and Booking add-ons.

visnovki

The Huawei Y5 2017 smartphone, without a doubt, has many clear advantages over its competitors in the market. It’s a great pity, most of these advantages are equal to approximately the same number of shortcomings that, on average, make a smartphone a completely exceptional representative of the budget segment.

Looking at this smartphone, you can see that Huawei engineers were trying to become a market leader in smart phones in the budget category. This is due to the emphasis on the camera, the poor display, and the very good positioning of the phone in its price category. However, since the edges are completely clear and lined, it is not possible to shave the top of the head. This is how it happened, and in this case, the smartphone is a waste of money, but it’s also a budget one.

Release date and price Huawei Y5

The release date of Huawei Y5 2017 was scheduled for the next quarter of 2017, and in Russia this smartphone has officially become available in the market. The initial price of the new product became eight to ten non-compliant minimum incomes for the population. However, in 2018, the price dropped to 6500-7000 rubles, which allowed the smartphone to compete better in the minds of the dynamic market.
