In terms of memory, the Redmi 3s has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage that is expandable up to 128GB with a microSD card. However, you get a hybrid Slot which means you can either insert 2 SIM card slots or one SIM card and microSD card.

Camera wise, you get the same 13MP rear snapper and 5MP front snapper as seen on the Redmi 3 which we reviewed last month. If it’s anything like the Redmi 3, the camera is going to be average at best. The Redmi 3s also houses a same 4100mAh battery which should provide an excellent battery life just as the Redmi 3.

1

Alongside GR5 mini, Huawei Mobiles Nepal has also launched another mid-range smartphone — the Y6 II. The company has priced the phone at Rs. 19,999 and is available from different offline retail channels located all across the nation.

[Update: It is now available for Rs. 17,999.]

The Huawei Y6 II features a 5.5-inch HD (1280 * 720) IPS display with no kind of protection mentioned. Since 1280 by 720 pixels are spread over a bigger 5.5-inch screen, it offers a lower pixel density at 267ppi, which is less considering we get smartphones with 1080P display under Rs. 20,000 these days. It is powered by an octacore Kirin 620 SoC, which is a fairly midrange SoC, with performance comparable to that of Snapdragon 410 or MediaTek MT6753. The GPU that’s been used is a Mali 450 MP4, which is again an average performer. In terms of memory, the phone has 2GB of DDR3 RAM and 16GB internal storage which can be expanded by dedicated microSD card for up to 128GB.

On the camera department, the Huawei Y6 II boasts a 13 megapixel back camera with f/2.0 aperture lens, 28mm focal length, autofocus, and LED flash. It has an 8-megapixel front snapper. As far as software is concerned, it is running the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with Emotion 4.1 UI layered on top.

The Huawei Y6 II offers a 3000mAh non-removable battery and should provide excellent battery life considering the specs. Connectivity wise, the phone has support for dual SIM (4G+4G), WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth, and GPS. Missing, however, are features such as NFC, Fingerprint scanner, and dual-band WiFi ac. It is available in 3 color options: grey, silver, and gold color options.

Huawei GR5 Mini with 5.2-inch FullHD display, Fingerprint scanner Launched in Nepal

0

Huawei Mobiles Nepal has launched the compact version of the Huawei GR5, the GR5 mini. The phone is priced at Rs. 23,500 and comes in grey, silver, and gold color options.

The Huawei GR5 Mini features a 5.2-inch 1080P display opposed to the 5.5-inch display of the GR5. It is powered by a more capable Octacore Kirin 650 SoC that comes with 4 cortex A53 cores clocked at 2Ghz and remaining 4 cortex A53 clocked at 1.7Ghz. The Kirin 650 SoC is better than the Snapdragon 615 that was used in its predecessor Huawei GR5. The kirin 650 SoC sports an intelligent i5 coprocessor that the company claims will provide hardware support for tasks like speech recognition, low-power consumption MP3, sensor hub, fused location provider (FLP) navigation, and more efficient location-based tasks.

huawei gr5 mini

In terms of memory, the GR5 mini features the same specs as the GR5. It has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage with dedicated microSD card slot upgradeable upto 128GB. On the back, the phone houses a 13MP autofocus BSI camera with single LED flash, and a fingerprint scanner V2.0 which the company claims will unlock the phone in 0.5 seconds. The fingerprint scanner can also be used to answer a phone call, click photos, or shut down alarm.

Up front, the Huawei GR5 Mini has an 8MP snapper which could potentially be selfie lovers’ dream. But, we will hold our judgement until we review the product. Powering the device is a rather sizeable Li-Po 3,000mAh battery which looks decently sized for a 5.2-inch display and energy efficient Kirin 650 SoC. The phone is currently running on Android Marshmallow 6.0 with Emotion UI 4.1 layered on top. As far as connectivity is concerned, it has dual SIM slot with 4G LTE, WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and GPS.
