Huawei has announced two new smartphones under its Y series. The devices, the Huawei Y3 II and Y5 II, have been listed on the company’s website. No pricing for the phones have been revealed yet. The Y3 II and Y5 II are avail;able in Rose Pink, Arctic White, Sky Blue, Sand Gold and Obsidian Black colours. They run on Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, layered with EMUI 3.1.
Interestingly, the phones come in 3G and 4G variants, which is a surprising choice. It may mean that Huawei plans to sell these smartphones in Tier II and Tier III markets, and on offline stores.
