Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Y5 (2019) (2GB + 32GB)

  • Affordable budget-friendly price point
  • Compact and lightweight design, comfortable for one-handed use
  • Reliable battery life for basic daily tasks
  • Bright display with decent color reproduction for the price
  • Includes dedicated microSD card slot for storage expansion
  • Modern aesthetic options, such as the faux leather finish on later models

What we don't like about Huawei Y5 (2019) (2GB + 32GB)

  • Slow performance and frequent lagging with heavy apps
  • Poor camera quality, especially in low-light conditions
  • Limited RAM (often 1GB or 2GB) leading to poor multitasking
  • Lack of Google Mobile Services (GMS) on newer models (e.g., Y5p)
  • No fingerprint sensor for biometric security
  • Slow charging speeds via micro-USB port
  • Occasional app crashes and system freezes reported by users

Verdict

Huawei Y5 2019 features a 5.71-inch HD+ Dewdrop display and runs on a MediaTek MT6761 Helio A22 processor with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. Its primary camera is 13MP, accompanied by a 5MP selfie camera. A key advantage is its large screen size for media consumption within a compact body, and dedicated dual SIM and microSD card slots for flexibility. Potential drawbacks include the limited 3020mAh battery capacity and the lack of a fingerprint sensor, relying instead on face unlock for security.
