Huawei Y5 2017 quietly unveiled: stylish curves, but unimpressive specs
The latest addition to Huawei's ever growing lineup of affordable smartphones is weirdly called Y5 2017. It wasn't officially announced since it's an entry-level device, but it's now listed on Huawei's website.
The first disappointment comes from the fact that the smartphone runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow with EMUI 4.1 on top, and we doubt a Nougat update will come its way in the future.
At the heart of the Y5 2017 sits a 1.4GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6737T processor, coupled with 2GB RAM and 16GB expandable storage. Huawei Y5 2017 sports a 5-inch display with HD (720p) resolution.
One thing that might set it apart from other smartphones in the same price range is the design. The phone is just 8.45mm thin and features a textured body and curvy lines. According to Huawei, the back design is finished in a unique CD pattern around the camera lens and the CNC (Computer Numeric Control) crafting process at the bottom.
Also, the smartphone is powered by a 3,000 mAh battery that is rated by Huawei for 1.5 days of use. On top of that, the Chinese company claims the removable battery will be able to deliver more than 80% of its capacity even after more than 800 charging cycles.
