The post Huawei Y6p vs Samsung Galaxy A10s vs Vivo Y11: Which entry-level phone should you get? appeared first on YugaTech | Philippines Tech News & Reviews.

With steady improvements that manufacturers have implemented on their top of the line smartphones, what once was expensive components can now be found in entry-level devices. Great IPS displays, decent cameras, and large batteries were once reserved to the flagships, but can now be found on smartphones under PHP 10K. As such, the entry-level markets have become extremely competitive, offering amazing value at such low prices.

One of these high-value offerings is Huawei’s recently released Y6p. Not only does it come with the aforementioned features, but it can also keep up with today’s demanding apps with even more RAM and storage. How does it compare with what Samsung and Vivo have to offer? Find out here:

Here are the categories for this smartphone comparison:

• Design and Build
• Display
• Camera
• Processor
• RAM
• Storage
• Battery Life
• OS
• Price

Design and Build

While the Huawei Y6p, Samsung Galaxy A10s, and Vivo Y11 all have plastic bodies, all of them feel sturdy and well built.

Out of the three, the Huawei Y6p stands out aesthetically thanks to its glass-like finish, giving it a premium look, with the Samsung A10s close behind due to its simplistic and formal appearance. Durability wise, both the Huawei Y6p and Vivo Y11 feels like it could take a few drops and bumps thanks to its polycarbonate frame.

That being said, the Samsung A10s is the most comfortable device to operate thanks to its thinner unibody design. Like in our previous three-way comparison, the device creates a nice uninterrupted curve that feels right on my fingertips.

In terms of size, the Samsung A10s is noticeably thinner than rest, measuring only 7.8mm, while the Vivo Y11 measures 8.9mm, and the Huawei Y6p being the thickest at 9mm. The Vivo Y11’s display also protrudes from the frame, taking away from the phone’s

All three devices also have the same ports: a Micro USB for charging and data transfers, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Biometrics are similar as well, with all phones sporting a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and face unlock support. Out of the three, the Huawei Y6p’s fingerprint scanner was the fastest and most reliable, with the Vivo Y11 being a close second. Unfortunately, the Samsung A10s lags behind the two other devices in both speed and reliability.

Overall, the Huawei Y6p dominates this category, having better design, build quality, and biometrics. The Samsung Galaxy A10s is a close second thanks to its comfort and unibody design, with the Vivo Y11 not too far behind.

Display and Multimedia

All three devices come with an HD+ panel, with almost similar sizes. The biggest of the bunch is the Vivo Y11’s with a 6.35-inch display, followed by the Huawei Y6p’s 6.3-inch display, with the Samsung Galaxy A10s having the smallest 6.2-inch display.

All three phones are equipped with IPS displays, so you can expect great viewing angles from all of them. All phones can get pretty bright as well and can be used under direct sunlight. However, when it comes to image quality and color reproduction, the Samsung Galaxy A10s barely beats the other two devices. That being said, the displays on the Vivo Y11 and Huawei Y6p were also good enough with very little difference between the devices. Audio quality is also similar across the devices, but the Huawei Y6p was the loudest of the bunch.

We’re giving the Samsung Galaxy A10s a narrow win in this category, with the Huawei Y6p following closely behind thanks to its loudspeakers, and the Vivo Y11 taking the last place.

Cameras

While all three devices all come with an 8MP selfie and a 13MP primary shooter accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor, the Huawei Y6p also comes with an additional 5MP ultra-wide camera that fits more objects into the frame. For comparison, check out the sample shots below:
