Huawei Y6 II and Y6 Compact entry-level smartphones coming soon

200 Euros can go a long way nowadays if mid-range smartphones are sufficient for your day-to-day needs. Huawei is leveraging this fact with the Y6 II and Y6 Compact, both of which are offshoots of the higher-end Honor range of devices. In particular, the Y6 II series borrows heavily from the recently released Honor 5A that will launch in some markets outside of China under the Huawei name instead.

Huawei Y6 II

The Y6 II will include the following specifications:

• 5.5-inch HD IPS panel
• Kirin 620 or Snapdragon 617 SoC (depending on SKU)
• 2 GB RAM
• 16 GB eMMC
• Bluetooth 4.0, single-band 802.11n WLAN, GPS

• Android 6.0 Marshmallow w/ EMUI 4.1

As usual when purchasing or importing smartphones, make sure that their LTE bands are compatible with your region. 

Huawei Y6 II Compact

Meanwhile, Winfuture has uncovered the smaller Huawei Y6 II Compact via Belgian and Dutch online product listings. Huawei has yet to officially announce this particular model, but the retailer sources are claiming that the device will carry the following specifications:

• 5-inch HD IPS panel
