Huawei Y6P highlights Huawei’s new budget line

Includes another phone and a tablet

Published

on

Huawei has continued to make strides in the software and app availability ever since the unfortunate US ban imposed in 2019. Perhaps there’s no better way to experience it than their low-risk new budget line headlined by the Huawei Y6P.

Huawei Y6P

The Huawei Y6P is a 6.3-inch device powered by the MediaTek Helio P22 (MT6762R) SoC with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Pretty much what we should expect from a budget phone in 2020. It’s also home to a 5,000mAh battery which should help with the increasingly media-centric consumption of consumers today.

By the way, the storage is expandable via a microSD card slot which sits right next to the dual nano SIM card trays.

It has a triple camera setup consisting of 13MP (f/1.8) + 5MP (f/2.2) + 2MP (f/2.4) — a combo that should allow you to shoot various scenarios like low-light, wide angle, and with bokeh effect. For selfies, this one’s equipped with an 8MP front-facing camera.

It’ll come in three colors: Midnight Black, Emerald Green, and Phantom Purple.

Huawei Y5P

The Huawei Y5P — with its 5.45-inch display — should cater to people who don’t necessarily want a bigger display and value one-handed operation. It shares the same SoC as the Huawei Y6P with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage which again is expandable via microSD card slot — a necessity for that onboard storage capacity.

For cameras it has an HDR-capable 8MP main shooter and a 5MP one for selfies.

It’s available in three colors: Midnight Black, Phantom Blue, and Mint Green.

Huawei MatePad T8

Rounding up the budget-friendly lineup is the Huawei MatePad T8. If you’re bored in the house, bored in the house, bored, this should help tide you over. Packaged primarily as an entertainment device, this tablet with an 8-inch display has an 80 percent screen-to-body ratio should provide good viewing angles.

AppGallery for all three

As per usual, these come with the AppGallery. Some of the apps that Huawei is highlighting include Viu — which is home to fantastic K-Dramas, and iFlix.

You also have access to popular apps like Facebook, Viber, and gaming ones like Plants vs Zombies and Candy Crush Mania. There’s plenty more you can explore on the AppGallery, just… look around.

Pricing and availability

Huawei Y6P — PhP 5,990
Huawei Y5P — PhP 4,490
Huawei MatePad T — PhP 5,990

Pre-order period is from May 22 to May 31. Freebies include a premium Bluetooth headset, Huawei 15GB Cloud Storage for 12 months, and a VIU premium access for three months. Huawei partnered with Lazada, Shopee, MemoXpress, Abenson, Bluelite, Silicon Valley and Aerophone for more purchase convenience.

Computex 2026

GIGABYTE to focus on end-to-end AI infrastructure, deployment at COMPUTEX 2026

Showcase to highlight how production AI is implemented, used on real-world scenarios

Published

GIGABYTE has announced its showcase for COMPUTEX 2026, centering on the theme “Future Landing.”

Moving away from conceptual AI training models, the company’s exhibit next month will focus strictly on the immediate implementation, scaling, and real-world operation of production AI infrastructure.

According to the company, the exhibit addresses a major industry shift: the transition of AI from development phases into large-scale inference and physical operation.

Visitors can expect an interactive breakdown of the AI infrastructure lifecycle, structured into three distinct zones: Ready, Deployable, and Happening.

The “Ready” phase highlights fully validated systems simulated at GAIFA (GIGABYTE AI Factory Accelerator), the company’s dedicated facility in Taiwan.

To demonstrate rapid scalability, the “Deployable” section will feature modular, prefabricated infrastructure units that integrate compute, cooling, and power, all managed via the proprietary GIGABYTE Pod Manager (GPM) software.

Lastly, the “Happening” zone will showcase live, practical applications of physical AI and localized healthcare inference. Attendees can observe a live “real-to-sim-to-real” automation pipeline showing how AI models move from virtual simulation into active robotic systems.

GIGABYTE will also demonstrate point-of-care medical AI running locally, including real-time polyp detection and bone marrow analysis.

In addition to the primary enterprise infrastructure booth (first floor), GIGABYTE will operate a secondary exhibit on the fourth floor.

This dedicated space will showcase edge and end-user applications, specifically highlighting its AI TOP series. This demonstrates how the company’s hardware scales down from massive data center architectures to deskside deployments.

The GIGABYTE booths can be visited from June 2 to 5, 2026 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (Hall 1):

  • 1F K0802 (Enterprise)
  • 4F M0520 (Consumer)
