Huawei Ascend G6 is a mid-range cell phone which the Chinese organization initially revealed in February amid the Mobile World Congress. Huawei, which does not have much vicinity in the Indian cell phone market both as far as mindshare and deals, brought the telephone to the nation in May evaluating it at Rs 16,999.unlike other Chinese players prominently Lenovo, Gionee, Oppo and now Xiaomi, Huawei and ZTE have never been exceptionally forceful regarding the matter of pushing their telephones however they have been available in India far more. Huawei Ascend G6’s USP is its smooth outline and 5mp selfie camera. Is that enough to make it a capable cell phone? We attempt to figure out in our audit.
Construct and outline
Huawei Ascend G6 takes after the same configuration logic as seen in Ascend P7. The reduced and thin telephone looks decent with its adjusted base edge. It is encompassed by a metallic looking casing on the other three edges, providing for it a premium look.
The front of the telephone offers a 4.5-inch show, three capacitive keys for route, an earpiece and the front camera lens.
The 3.5mm headset jack is set rather unpredictably towards the lowest part of the left edge. This makes for poor ease of use on the off chance that you need to keep the telephone in your pocket with earphones connected to. The force and volume keys are found at the right edge. These keys don’t wobble and offer great material criticism.
The micro-USB port sits at the top. The back gimmicks a removable plastic blanket that games a light black matte completion; conceals a non-removable, fixed battery, micro-sim and microsd card openings. While the telephone is well-fabricated, we feel that the back spread could have been made somewhat more strong to give an inclination of sturdiness. The back additionally offers a camera lens and LED blaze.
By and large, Huawei Ascend G6 is a smooth and reduced cell phone that looks great and feels decent to hold.
Display
Huawei Ascend G6 sports a 4.5-inch qhd(540x960p) IPS show. The presentation is disappointing and content and illustrations don’t look as fresh and sharp as they do on 720p telephones. Review plot are great yet daylight clarity is normal. The qhd showcase of the telephone squeezes as there are a few telephones with 720p HD show in the same value range.
Software
Huawei Ascend G6 runs Android 4.3 with Huawei’s Emotion UI 2.0lite skin on top. Like Gionee, Lenovo and Xiaomi’s Miui ROM, the interface does exclude a different application launcher. Application symbols and gadgets are spread over the home screens (one can have up to 9 home screens). The UI could be themed and the G6 accompanies four preloaded topics, each of which accompanies an alternate set of symbols, wallpapers, textual style, sounds and lock screen opens. The topics could be altered further. A percentage of the topics look great however we discovered the others to be flat.
The brought together home screen-application launcher style may appear to be easy to use to individuals who have not utilized an Android telephone in the recent past. Anyway it will take eventually to get used to on the off chance that you have as of now been utilizing an Android cell phone.
The notice tray has likewise been cleaned and peculiarities a white foundation. It offers customisable switches for every now and again utilized settings as a part of expansion to warnings. Now and again, we recognized some ease of use issues with the white foundation lessening the perceivability if a warning offered white content. Huawei has tweaked framework applications as per its UI style and some of these demonstrate an indication of skeuomorphism. It has additionally included extra gimmicks. Case in point, the Music application is equipped for showing verses furthermore accompanies a slumber mode to consequently turn off after a preset length of time.
The telephone likewise accompanies a Phone Manager application that permits power clients to tinker with cutting edge settings and advances the telephone’s execution by cleaning store and huge records, shutting foundation undertakings that are not required, and permitting clients to control warnings, application authorizations and force settings. The telephone doesn’t accompany countless gathering applications, which is a decent thing, particularly when it offers restricted capacity.
In general, we’re content with the product experience offered by the telephone excepting some minor niggles. We trust Huawei overhauls it to Android 4.4 Kitkat soon.
Camera
Huawei Ascend G6 characteristics a 8mp back camera with LED blaze and a 5mp front-confronting camera.
The camera application is easy to utilize and peculiarities controls for granular settings, for example, shine, ISO, white adjust and difference. It additionally offers HDR and display modes.
The nature of pictures caught outside, in sunlight was decent with faultless shade generation, next to no clamor and great complexity. Low-light shots were additionally really great and we were awed by the measure of light the camera caught. Be that as it may, these shots had a great deal of clamor.
Pictures caught inside in simulated light additionally turned out well and had next to no clamor. The back camera can catch 720p features and in our tests, we discovered the feature quality to be above normal.
The 5mp front camera is among the best in its class and takes okay selfies, particularly in brilliantly lit conditions. It likewise has a wide point lens that aides in getting more individuals in the edge. The camera application likewise offers selfie gimmicks including a clock and an incite that regulates you to take a gander at the camera.
Generally, Huawei Ascend G6 has great camera equipment however it passes up a major opportunity for full-HD feature recording.
Execution
Huawei Ascend G6 is controlled by 1.2ghz quad-center processor, created in-house, and 1gb RAM. While utilizing the telephone, we didn’t experience any hiccups while propelling and exchanging in the middle of applications and there was very little slack.
Easy amusements, for example, Subway Surfers run easily. On the other hand, we experienced some casing drops while playing representation substantial diversions like Asphalt 8.
Verdict
Huawei has been offering mobile phones in India (on its own) in excess of four years. Yet, not many individuals in India would have the capacity to review catching wind of a well known Huawei cell phone. Maybe, a real purpose behind the same has been the organization’s relaxed showcasing which has prompted poor brand review. Will the G6 work in the organization’s support?
Actually, at a cost of Rs 16,999, we’re not certain in the event that it would discover numerous takers. The scene has changed definitely and organizations like Asus, Motorola, Gionee and Xiaomi are putting forth telephones with top-end characteristics at plan costs.
There’s doubtlessly Ascend G6 offers a mix of charming structure figure, a great camera and average fittings execution. However it has its impart of issues including the low-determination presentation, indicator gathering issues and the soak estimating.
You would be better off purchasing an Asus Zenfone 5 for Rs 10,000 or Motorola Moto G for Rs 14,000. You could even sit tight for the approaching Xiaomi Mi 3 that offers much unrivaled fittings specs at Rs 13,999.
