Design and Display
The Tecno Y6 is not much different in design from what you would expect of a budget smartphone from its maker. It features a plastic construction and is rather thick, by today’s standards, at 10.6 millimetres.
It sports a large 5-inch diagonal display with a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels – the new standard for budget devices in its price range. The pixel density of 196 pixels per inch makes for manageable screen clarity, while the in-plane switching (IPS) technology used for the display facilitates wide-angle viewing.
