Editorial report

Huawei Y5 (2019) technical sheet

The Huawei Y5 (2019) suits basic phone use, provided its buyer accepts a battery with less capacity than most phones launched around the same time and 5 W charging, among the slowest. Its 3,020 mAh battery and limited charging power are the main trade-off for anyone who puts a premium on charging and capacity.

At 146 g, it weighs less than most phones from that period. The 5.71-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1520 px resolution and 295 ppi density, below average for its time; its 60 Hz refresh rate is average. The phone has 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage, expandable with a card up to 512 GB. Its AnTuTu score of 56,445 is among the weakest of phones launched around the same time, while RAM and built-in storage are lower than most.

The 13 MP rear camera has an f/1.8 aperture, both average specifications for its time; the front camera is 5 MP. Connectivity is a stronger point, above average overall: NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou are included, and the phone supports two Nano-SIM cards. It also has a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio. In short, the Huawei Y5 (2019) combines low weight and useful connectivity with substantial limits in battery and performance. Its NeoScore of 3.2 makes it a basic-use option, rather than a fit for buyers seeking stronger performance or faster charging.
