Huawei's Consumer Business Group is targeting Africa's entry-level smartphone market with the introduction of two new devices, the Y6 Pro and Y6.

The devices cater to customers needing more battery life on their smartphones, according to Peter Hu, MD of East and Southern Africa, Huawei Consumer Business Group.

He explains: "The Y6 series is perfect for the African market where cost and functionality are equally important. This device is ideal for those who need their phone to last for a period of time without being charged. It is one of the only phones in this price range that can tolerate days of heavy usage."

Huawei says the Y6 Pro is extremely quick to charge: 10 minutes of charging from 0% battery delivers three hours of call time. The device also doubles as a portable charger, powering up devices and other phones on the go.

At 8.5mm thick, the Huawei Y6 Pro allows single hand control. Its mid-frame has a thin metallic coating technique and the addition of anti-false touch design means users will not accidently activate their phone, according to a statement.

Hu adds: "The Huawei Y6 makes it easy for users to capture beautifully clear and vivid pictures in all lighting conditions and this is because it has an 8MP rear-facing camera with a F2.0 aperture, making it the perfect tool for recording life's moments as they happen."
