Huawei Y6 Pro (2017) silently introduced in Europe: metal body, low price

The sequel to the Huawei Y6 Pro has just been silently introduced in Europe. The budget-friendly smartphone will soon be available for purchase in select markets for only €179. Potential customers can choose either of the three color options: black, gold and silver.

Unlike the original model that packs a MediaTek chipset inside, Huawei Y6 Pro (2017) is equipped with a 1.4GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor. However, it has the same amount of memory: 2GB RAM and 16GB expandable storage.

The only downside, when compared to the previous model, is the smaller battery. While the original Huawei Y6 Pro packs a generous 4,000 mAh battery, the new smartphone comes with a much lower 3,020 mAh battery inside.

Huawei Y6 Pro (2017) retains the same 5-inch display with HD (720p) resolution but runs a newer Android 7.0 Nougat operating system with EMUI 5.1 on top.

Surprisingly, the smartphone has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, along with 13-megapixel primary and secondary 5-megapixel selfie cameras.

Initially, Huawei Y6 Pro (2017) will be launched in France, Germany, and Italy, but the smartphone will slowly be rolled out all over Europe in the coming weeks.
