I bought this phone on special for about $129 at my local post office as a quicky cheap emergency replacement 16 months ago. I thought it would be temporary (like a backup phone) but we ended up staying together.
Its really top of the line for a budget phone. An sd card will expand the storage and at well over 16 months old, she still holds a pretty good charge. The cameras not too shabby for the price either. It is also very user friendly.
However there are 2 outdated unsupported apps preinstalled that will ruin the phone if used or updated. Touchpal update contains adware and built in browser is outdated and unsupported by android. Both caused problems and had to be disabled.
Go for the newer model. Much cleaner.

Personally I would say this is a neat smartphone. Cameras are good enough to take some nice pictures. It is also good for playing music as well.
Their limitations are the memory and battery. The phone could become hot if playing games for a long time or not to response sometimes (due to errors I think). If you need a basic smartphone for calling, music and taking some photos, this would be a good one with low price!

i got this in hopes of replacing my lumia however after a month or so of use the charger port broke which is a shame the camera is good quality, video is better than my lumia and i like the android skin that huawei use i just wish they made the mic better and made it more durable

I bought it from Coles when Vodafone has cashback offer. Basically I got it for free. I was surprised that the screen was clear, phone was fast enough for browsing internet, reading news, play music and video. Excellent toy for kids and I don't worry about if it cracks or lose. Good value for the phone.

My phone is crappie keeps switching off on it's own and the battery goes flat fast I've only had it for 7 months. I wish they would give a new one for free because I deserve it I probably will not be getting one of these phones again no way.

I find the Huawei and easy phone to use, consumer friendly, it possesses great features. It is truely a value for money phone would recommend this phone to others. You will find this phone will exceed your expectations. So if you looking for a cost effective reliable phone try the Huawei Y5

My daughter got one for Christmas and it was the best phone she could do heaps with it, but it won't even charge up now or turn on. It's only 6 months old. The battery would heat up when charging or if you where on the phone for more than 15 minute's.
Then one night nothing......

For its price (<$100), Huawei Y5 does the job for basic use e.g. messaging, calls, simple apps; and is good value

Good, compact size. 4GX allows fast speeds, cameras on the front and back
At times, touch screen is not as responsive and apps are sluggish
Those wanting something powerful and capable of running many apps should look at another phone model

Overall, satisfactory for basic needs. Perhaps good for beginner's or those with low needs from mobile phone

I was an Apple only user and after a somewhat frustrating run with their expensive phones I got the courage to go buy this Huawei for $84.
Sure it has very small built in memory but other than that, It's totally worth the little money it costs.
Battery is average, one charge a day does me.
It has the option to add more memory so I'm really struggling to fault it.
GREAT CHEAP BUY FOR SIMPLE TASKS!

Got the Huawei Y560 for a good price at Coles when it was on offer. It is more than adequate for a beginner user of smartphone as I only use the unit's basic functions. It is a bit heavier than I expected though, but I think the iPhone is heavy too.

Best first or beginner'so smart phone.
And this is a SMART phone.
Android is easy to learn and operate.
Especially compared with Windows.
So, if you couldn't use a smart phone before, you can now!
Get a good deal though as the newer models are also well under $100.
Even new!

For its price it is a fantastic phone. Underrated for its capabilities and most people are put off by the cheap price.

I have dropped this phone face first onto concrete and on its edge. No cracked screen and still works.

Mine is locked to Optus on the 4G network and I have had no issues with it.

For the price you can't go wrong.

Worth much more than I had to pay. This one is locked to Telstra and gets a tick for country use. It is 4GX and also works on the 3G network. All the apps work well and there is a button that turns off apps that are not being used so it stays fast. After 2 years you can unlock Telstra phones FREE. The 5 MP camera works well and you can take landscape or as small as ants. The keyboard works well for me. The voice and transmit sound is OK too.

This is a reliable fine very fast stat up presentation is very good .phone powerful.The battery last a long time and recharges up fast.The phone is priced reasonably good.It's multi function are great such as WiFi hotspot function and Bluetooth function .This fone is reliable and should last a long time if it is looked after.

This phone is great value for money, simple and easy to use and has heaps of the features the more expensive phones do. The battery lasts forever which is great when working making business calls and sending emails and it has fantastic rural coverage. I love this phone so much I bought my Mum one too. I can not fault this phone and recommend it highly.

This is a very easy phone to use, has a great big screen, and great price i love it, if i had to buy another phone it would be this one, as i have had no trouble at all, and would have no hesitation in recomending it to any one who was planing on buying a phone

bought 2 of these online from Telstra shop as local shop had sold out, phone is excellent quality although battery has to be recharged daily if i use it a lot, glass screensaver is not advisable as not sensitive enough but plastic ones work fine, highly recommend this phone as we have had no problems so far.

-Within 12months the phone has been returned 3 times as it will not charge or turn on.
-Again after the phone not turning it was returned for repair. The phone has a very small crack in the screen. So Huawei, will not authorise repairs if there is any damage.
-Huawei have advised "as the phone was bought through Telstra then Telstra provide the warranty to repair and therefore I have to go back to Telstra."
-Even though I have the box with the 24month warranty slip from Huawei.
I stated the crack would not be an issue or be in for repair if the phone was not faulty.
