Huawei Y6 II — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Huawei Y6 II (CAM-L21) was Huawei's 2016 answer to buyers wanting a big screen on a budget: a 5.5-inch HD display, octa-core Kirin 620 chip, and a 13MP/8MP camera pairing marketed around selfies. It sold well in Pakistan at around Rs. 16,000–18,500 when new. A decade later it lives on the used market — here are its verified specifications and the checks that matter before you buy one.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Design and Build Quality

The Y6 II is a big, plain 2016 slab: 5.5 inches of screen in a 154.3 x 77 mm plastic body with a metal frame, weighing 168 g. The design is nearly identical to the Huawei Y6 Pro — only the rear camera and flash placement differ, a quirk noted by Pakistani reviewers at launch. There is no fingerprint sensor and no water resistance. On used units, check the large screen for dead pixels and the plastic back for stress cracks near the corners.

Display Features

The 5.5-inch IPS LCD at 720 x 1280 gives about 267 ppi — noticeably softer than the 5-inch Y6 models, since the same pixels stretch over a larger panel. Text remains readable and video looks fine at arm's length, but fine detail is visibly less crisp. Viewing angles are good; brightness is average for 2016. If screen sharpness matters to you, the smaller Y6 2017's 294 ppi panel looks better.

Processor and Performance

The Kirin 620 is an octa-core Cortex-A53 chip at 1.2 GHz with Mali-450MP4 graphics — Huawei's own silicon, and a genuine step up from the quad-core chips in the 2015 Y6. Everyday apps, browsing and video play smoothly enough, and light 3D games run at reduced settings. With 2GB RAM it handles basic multitasking, but eight cores at 1.2 GHz will not keep up with demanding modern apps — treat it as a light-use device.

RAM and Storage

2GB RAM and 16GB storage mirrors the Y6 2017's configuration: enough for the OS and core apps, with a dedicated microSD slot (up to 128GB) for photos and media. Storage management matters — WhatsApp media and app caches will fill 16GB faster than you expect, so use the card slot early and keep the app count small.

Camera Features

The 13MP f/2.0 rear camera with autofocus, LED flash and 1080p video was competitive in 2016, taking decent daylight shots with fair detail. The 8MP front camera was the marketing hook — Huawei pitched the Y6 II as a 'selfie master' — and it takes respectable selfies in good light. Low-light performance on both cameras is weak by modern standards, with visible noise and no night mode to help.

Battery and Charging

A 3,000mAh non-removable battery (some listings say 3,100mAh) powered the big screen for a full day when new. Ten years on, original batteries are well past their prime — test screen-on drain before buying and watch for swelling or sudden shutdowns, which are common failure signs at this age. Charging is microUSB at standard speeds; 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 runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow with EMUI 4.1 and never received a major update. Android 6 falls below the minimum for most Pakistani banking and payment apps today (typically Android 8+), and security patches stopped around 2018. Realistic use in 2026: calls, SMS, WhatsApp (check current minimum requirements), browsing, YouTube and offline media — not mobile banking.

Connectivity and Additional Features

4G LTE, dual SIM, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with A-GPS, FM radio and a 3.5mm headphone jack. There is no NFC, no 5GHz Wi-Fi, no USB-C (microUSB 2.0) and no 5G. The connectivity suite is basic but complete for a backup phone's needs.

Variants, Colours and Availability

The CAM-L21 is the common dual-SIM variant sold in Pakistan; CAM-L03/L23/L32 are regional siblings with the same core specs. Colours were Black, White and Gold. Do not confuse the Y6 II with the smaller Y6 II Compact (5.0-inch, MT6735, 2200mAh) or the Huawei Y6 Pro — the Pro looks almost identical but packs a 4,000mAh battery and a different chip.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

The Y6 II launched in Pakistan around Rs. 16,000–18,500 (2016) and is long discontinued. In October 2026, OLX Pakistan showed used listings asking Rs. 5,050–11,000 depending on condition — asking prices, not confirmed sale prices, so treat the range as indicative. Zohaan Mobile Gallery's catalog lists the used Huawei Y6 II at Rs. 5,000 (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.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

• Big 5.5-inch display — good for video and reading at this price
• Octa-core Kirin 620 — smoother than the quad-core 2015 Y6
• 8MP front camera — strong selfie specs for a 2016 budget phone
• Dedicated microSD slot alongside dual SIM
• Full Google services (Play Store) pre-installed

Limitations:

• Android 6.0: banking and many modern apps will not install
• 267 ppi display looks soft next to smaller 5-inch rivals
• No fingerprint sensor or water resistance
• Non-removable battery — original cells are a decade old
• No security updates since ~2018

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Good fit: someone wanting the biggest screen for the least money — a cheap media/backup phone for YouTube, browsing, calls and FM radio, or a simple device for an elderly user who wants large text.

Look elsewhere if: you need sharp text, banking apps, or a reliable daily driver — the smaller Y6 2017 is sharper and cheaper to run, or step up to Android 8+ models in all mobiles.

Final Verdict

The Y6 II's big screen and octa-core chip made it a 2016 favourite, and around Rs. 5,000 it remains a likeable ultra-cheap media phone — if you accept Android 6's app limits. Check the screen for dead pixels, the battery for swelling, and the IMEI via 8484 before paying. As anything more than a backup or media device, its software age counts against it; the Y6 2018 or Y6 2019 are more capable used buys for not much more.
