Not worth buying

published

I purchased the Huawei Y7 2022 to replace a Samsung Galaxy S4 which is getting a little long in the tooth.
It was difficult to set up and many of the icons differ from standard ones.
I installed a mobile SIM card and my wife took it to Indonesia. It was next to useless as she could not get used to it. MY Samsung Galaxy S& is much easier to use even though it is much older.
I have now replaced the Huawei with a second hand Samsung S7 which is working much better.
I would not recommend buying this phone.

Generic responses to research questions

published

Research told there was wifi calling and the Telstra rural blue tick. There is no wifi calling and the phone has worse coverage than the one it was to replace.

Great phone

published

The Huawei Y5 2018 is a great phone, I use it every day to watch YouTube and play games on it, I haven't had it freeze on me too much but most phones freeze now and then. All my apps work well and with no interruptions.

Horrible android operating system

published

The android operating system on this phone is terrible, i think that they have tried to make it simple to appeal to the apple market, but all that means is that they took away a tonne of the android features. There is No App Draw button or function and it makes the phone annoying to use. Hardware wise the phone is good.

Far better than we Expected!

published

Thought we'd take a punt after reading reviews - Under $120 AU NEW.
Went with Huawei just because Washington and friends are out to 'wreck' Huawei...
GPS is very accurate. We use 'Here' a navigation app as opposed to G/Maps. Camera is much better than many other higher level phones. and has many advanced features. My wife likes it better than her iPhone6 and is selling that to buy a Huawei also. Memory card addition is a big plus
We don't play games, so don't care about CPU/ Graphic speeds. However every app runs very well.
Looks nice, feels solid, not too bad in sunlight - And fits my work shirt pocket, which is essential for guys.
All in all worth way more than the investment. Good one Huawei - You've scored a new loyal customer.

Good for the price

published

For what you pay for the Huawei y5 you get a good solid performing phone. It's not a flashy as other phones but at 1/4 of the price of the more famous brands. Had phone for 3 months. Good battery life and fairly fast on the internet. Great quality pictures. The Huawei y5 has a lot of features to many to list here. I would recommend this phone to a person looking for a good performing mid range phone.

Affordable

As an older person I always select a new phone that is relatively simple to operate. The Huawei Y5 is just that. It has a good screen I can see in the daylight, has all the functions that I need, however the touch sensitivity of the screen is not that good and the volume does not go very high on the external speaker. Oh well it wasn't that expensive so I guess you get what you pay for

Great but not without issues.

This phone did all I needed in today hectic world. I only had problems with data storage, so I constantly had to delete things. Great features and perfect photos. I have constantly dropped the phone too and most other phones cracked the screen but this phone doesn't even have a crack yet.

Good, works, was cheap

My old samsung J1 mini was running out of battery ‘oomph’ so I saw this model in BigW at $108 and bought it. It is dual sim, so easy to set up, and put in a UK sim when over there for a holiday recently. Worked well. It does all the usual smartphone tricks and the battery lasts at least a couple of days. After 4 months, so far, I don’t regret buying it at all.

Y5 2022

When I add a page to my homescreen, it puts a little icon in the right bottom corner of the big icon, showing the chrome logo, or where ever I'm adding it from, if that makes sense. How do I remove that small icon? It's annoying and ruins the "look" of my screen. Thanks in advance.

I had a similar problem with my phone. In the end I gave up. The phone is a piece of junk. I have given it away and replaced it with a refurbished Samsung S7. No more problems

Don't blame ya! I had a Samsung s5 before this, that met an unfortunate end, and it was the best phone I've ever had. Would of bought another if I could of found one. This phone has/does so many stupid unnecessary issues.

All I can suggest is, press the 3 little dots in the top right hand corner of your screen, see if there is a way to change it or maybe just take it into whatever phone company your with and ask them if they can help you
