Huawei Y6 II Compact Price in Pakistan & Specs
Huawei Y6 II Compact — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan
The Huawei Y6 II Compact (LYO-L21) is the smaller sibling of the Y6 II: the same 13MP camera and 2GB + 16GB memory in a pocketable 5.0-inch body with a MediaTek MT6735 chip and a removable 2,200mAh battery. Launched in September 2016 at around Rs. 16,799 in Pakistan, it appealed to buyers who found the 5.5-inch model too big. Now discontinued, it trades only used — here is what to check before buying one.

Design and Build Quality
True to its name, the Compact is small and light: 143.8 x 72 x 8.9 mm and just 140 g, with a glass front and plastic back in Black, White or Gold. It is genuinely pocketable — a rarity among phones discussed in 2026. There is no fingerprint sensor and no water resistance. The removable back cover gives access to the battery and SIM slots; on used units, check that the cover still clips shut firmly and inspect the frame for cracks.
Display Features
The 5.0-inch IPS LCD at 720 x 1280 delivers about 294 ppi — the same crispness as the original Y6, and visibly sharper than the bigger Y6 II's stretched panel. Colours and viewing angles are good for the class; brightness is modest, so outdoor use means squinting. For one-handed use and reading, the compact screen remains one of this phone's best traits.
Processor and Performance
The MediaTek MT6735 (quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53, Mali-T720MP2) is a modest 2016 budget chip. It handles calls, messaging, browsing and video without complaint, but it is slower than the Y6 II's octa-core Kirin 620 — multitasking is limited and anything beyond casual games will stutter. With 2GB of RAM it is strictly a light-use phone; judge it on that basis and it does its job.
RAM and Storage
2GB RAM with 16GB of internal storage follows the familiar 2016 budget formula: fine for essential apps, with a dedicated microSDXC slot for photos and offline media. The 16GB fills up quickly with WhatsApp media, so plan on the memory card from the start and keep the installed app list short.
Camera Features
The 13MP rear camera with autofocus, dual-LED flash, HDR and panorama takes decent daylight photos for a 2016 budget phone, though video tops out at 720p — a step below the Y6 II's 1080p. The 5MP front camera gets its own LED flash for night selfies. Low-light results are noisy on both cameras, and there are no modern modes like portrait or night sight.
Battery and Charging
The 2,200mAh removable battery is the Compact's signature trade-off: small capacity, but replaceable. When new it lasted a day of light use; a decade-old original cell will be far weaker, so test drain and ask about replacements. The upside is real — a fresh compatible battery is cheap and instantly revives the phone. Charging is microUSB at standard speeds with no fast charging.
Software and Updates
Because it launched before the May 2019 US trade restrictions, this phone ships with full Google services — Play Store, Gmail, Maps and YouTube — pre-installed, unlike later Huawei models. It shipped with Android 5.1 Lollipop and EMUI 3.1, officially upgradable to Android 6.0 Marshmallow — though many used units were never updated, so check the actual version in Settings. Either way, the software is far below modern app minimums: most banking and payment apps require Android 8+, and security patches ended around 2017. Use it for calls, SMS, FM radio and offline media — not for anything sensitive.
Connectivity and Additional Features
4G LTE on the listed bands, single or dual Micro-SIM depending on variant, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with GLONASS, FM radio, USB OTG and a 3.5mm jack. There is no NFC, no 5GHz Wi-Fi, no USB-C (microUSB 2.0) and no 5G. Basic but complete for a secondary phone.
Variants, Colours and Availability
The LYO-L21 is the common dual-SIM variant; LYO-L01 is its regional sibling, and both share the 2GB + 16GB, MT6735 and 13MP/5MP configuration in Black, White or Gold. Do not confuse the Compact with the larger Y6 II (5.5-inch, Kirin 620, 3,000mAh) — the names are similar but the phones are different. Verify the model number in Settings > About phone.
Price in Pakistan and PTA Information
The Y6 II Compact launched in Pakistan around Rs. 16,799 and is discontinued; aggregator 'current' figures (Rs. 32,890–43,680) are stale auto-generated numbers, not real prices. In 2026 it trades only second-hand, typically around Rs. 4,000–5,500 for working units. Zohaan Mobile Gallery's catalog lists the used Huawei Y6 II Compact at Rs. 4,500 (catalog import 2026-10-01 — a reference figure, not a verified current market price). Confirm the live price on WhatsApp before visiting, and note the store's 7-day check warranty on used phones.
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. On old second-hand phones, also read how to buy a used mobile safely.

Who Should Consider This Phone?
Good fit: buyers who want the smallest, cheapest usable Huawei — a pocketable backup phone, a simple device for calls/SMS/FM radio, or a spare where a replaceable battery matters.
Look elsewhere if: you need a bigger screen, better performance, or usable apps — the Y6 II gives more screen and speed, or look at Android 8+ models in all mobiles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of Huawei Y6 II Compact in Pakistan?
Around Rs. 4,000–5,500 on the used market (2026 estimate); Zohaan Mobile Gallery's catalog lists it at Rs. 4,500. It launched at Rs. 16,799 but is discontinued — confirm the live price on WhatsApp.

5.0-inch HD IPS display, MediaTek MT6735 chip, 2GB RAM + 16GB storage, 13MP rear / 5MP front cameras, removable 2,200mAh battery, Android 5.1 (upgradable to 6.0).
What is the difference between Y6 II and Y6 II Compact?
The Compact is smaller (5.0-inch vs 5.5-inch), uses the MT6735 instead of the Kirin 620, and has a smaller removable 2,200mAh battery vs the Y6 II's 3,000mAh sealed cell.
Is the battery removable?
Yes — the 2,200mAh battery is removable, so a cheap replacement cell can give a used unit a fresh start. Test the current battery's drain before buying.
Does it have Google Play Store?
Yes. It launched in 2016, before the US trade restrictions, so full Google services are pre-installed.
Can I use banking apps on it?

Final Verdict
The Y6 II Compact is a likeable little phone for the money: compact, light, with a decent camera and a battery you can actually replace. Around Rs. 4,500 it works as a backup or a simple phone for an elderly user. But Android 5.1 makes it unsuitable as anyone's main smartphone in 2026 — app support is the hard limit. Buy it cheap, verify the IMEI via 8484, and keep expectations at backup-phone level.
