PRODUCT CONCLUSION
The Y6p is a good product and would have been 10x better with google play services, but Huawei is making a stance in the market with the creation of the app gallery. Granted it doesn’t feature everything in apps from an international perspective but a lot of the local south African apps are on the store such as the load shedding app ,banks, supermarkets. Even if you can’t find apps that you are used to, there are plenty of alternatives.
All in all,it is an excellent phone if you’re not scared of being a little independent from google services, and stepping out of your so called comfit zone , then you will really enjoy this phone.
