Cameras produce stellar shots for an entry-level phone

While the Y6 2018’s camera may sound modest, its UI and image processing makes this phone shine through. On good lighting, we managed to get sharp images with punchy colors on its 13-megapixel rear camera. Image quality dips when used in low light, where photos are grainy and lose detail, but are considerably better compared to its rivals.

 

The same can be said with its 8-megapixel front camera in terms of image quality.

 

As for the camera UI’s features, the Y6 2018 has a set of filters along with an HDR, panorama, and an all-focus mode, with the latter letting you refocus the image after taking the shot. It also comes with two interesting modes such as document scan and good food, with the latter producing more saturated colors suited for food photography. It also has a beautification filter to improve your selfie game, but we recommend using it at around level 5.

 

Battery life is respectable 

Equipped with a 3000mAh battery, the Y6 2018 manages to get a decent battery life at 9 hours and 28 minutes based on PCMark’s battery test. The result is quite expected, as the Snapdragon 425 processor is a power-efficient chip in spite of its age. On real-time use, the phone can last a day of moderate use—which includes a few games, photography, and web browsing, leaving you with some juice towards the end of the day.

In juicing up the phone, you have to wait a while, as the Y6 2018 does not come with fast charging. With the supplied 5V/1A charger, it takes around a little over two hours to fully charge the Y6 2018.
