Huawei Y560 — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Huawei Y560 is Huawei's 2015 entry-level 4.5-inch 4G smartphone — the same hardware sold as the original Huawei Y5. With a Snapdragon 210 chip, removable battery, and full Google apps, it was built for buyers who wanted LTE on a tight budget. This guide covers its verified specs, its relationship to the Y5 name, and its Pakistan price situation.

Design and Build Quality

The Y560 shares the compact plastic body of the 2015 Y5: 135.9 x 67.7 x 10 mm and 141.5 g, with a removable back cover hiding the battery, SIM, and microSD slots. It is a simple candybar design — no fingerprint reader, no metal frame — aimed squarely at first-time smartphone buyers. The 4.5-inch size makes it genuinely one-hand friendly, a trait almost extinct in today's market.

Display Features

The 4.5-inch IPS display at 480 x 854 pixels delivers about 218 ppi. Colours are acceptable for an entry panel of its time, but sharpness is low: icons and text look soft, and video tops out at standard definition. Buyers should view this as a functional display for calls and messages, not a media screen.

Processor and Performance

Powered by the Snapdragon 210 — four 1.1 GHz Cortex-A7 cores with an Adreno 304 GPU — the Y560 handles calls, SMS, FM radio, and a handful of light apps. It is not built for modern workloads: heavy social feeds, navigation with live traffic, and any gaming beyond the simplest titles will strain it. If you are buying used, test the specific apps you need on the unit itself.

RAM and Storage

With 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, this is the bare minimum configuration even for its era. The system consumes much of the 8GB, leaving room for only a few apps — a microSD card up to 32GB is essential for photos and music. Expect frequent app reloads; background multitasking is very limited.

Camera Features

The rear 5MP camera with autofocus and LED flash shoots 720p video, and the 2MP front camera covers basic video calls. Daylight snapshots are usable for reference purposes — receipts, whiteboards, quick photos — but low-light performance is poor and detail is limited. Set expectations at "document camera," not "photography camera."

Battery and Charging

A removable 2,000mAh Li-Ion battery powers the Y560. The removable design is its standout practical advantage: a worn battery can be swapped cheaply rather than retiring the phone. Standby and talk times are modest but adequate for light use; charging is microUSB 2.0 with no fast charging.

Software and Updates

It shipped with Android 5.1 Lollipop and EMUI Lite 3.1, and received no further major updates. Being a 2015 device, it includes the full Google Mobile Services and Play Store — no Huawei Mobile Services limitations. The trade-off: Android 5.1 is years past security support, and many current apps (notably banking apps) require newer Android versions and will not install. Confirm your must-have apps run before you commit to buying.

Connectivity and Additional Features

Full 4G LTE support (bands 1/3/7/8/20) plus 3G and 2G fallback keep it usable on Pakistani networks. Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, FM radio, a 3.5mm jack, and microUSB 2.0 round out connectivity. Units came in single-SIM or dual-SIM Micro-SIM configurations — check the exact variant when buying.

Variants, Colours and Availability

The Y560 was sold in a single 1GB + 8GB configuration in Black, White, Pink, and Blue. Model codes include Y560-L01, Y560-L02, and Y560-L03 for different regions and bands — the L-variants are network configurations, not different phones. The critical buying note: the Y560 is the same device as the Huawei Y5 (2015). If a listing shows identical specs under the Y5 name, it is the same phone — compare prices across both names rather than treating them as different models.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

The Y560 is long discontinued, with an original international price around $119 and no current verified Pakistan retail price. Any unit available today is used. The store's internal catalog carries a used-stock reference of around Rs. 3,000 (2026-10-01 import, not an independently verified market price) — treat it as a starting point only and confirm the actual price with the store.

PTA: PTA approval applies per device and IMEI, not per model. Before paying, send the phone's IMEI to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" status. How to check PTA approval.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

• Full Google Play Store — no HMS restrictions
• Removable battery for cheap, easy replacement
• Very compact and light 4.5-inch body
• 4G LTE with dual-SIM variants available

Limitations:

• Android 5.1 — no updates, declining app compatibility
• 1GB RAM / 8GB storage is extremely limiting
• Low-resolution 218 ppi display

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Good fit: buyers hunting the cheapest possible working 4G handset — a backup phone, a device for an elderly family member who only calls, or a spare for travel.

Look elsewhere if: you need WhatsApp reliability long-term, mobile banking, or a decent camera. In that case, a newer used model from the all mobiles collection will serve you far better.

Final Verdict

The Huawei Y560 is simply the 2015 Y5 by another name: tiny, cheap, full Google apps, removable battery — and equally dated. Buy it only as an ultra-budget backup where the price is the whole point. Anyone needing a dependable daily phone should step up to a newer Y-series model instead.
