Background and Identification

The Huawei P6 S is an Android smartphone produced by Huawei and released in January 2014. Huawei P smartphones are manufactured by Chinese-based electronics company Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Originally marketed as the Huawei Ascend P series, the Huawei P series includes high-end flagship smartphones targeted toward mainstream consumers. The series runs on the Android operating system.

The Huawei P6 S features a 4.7-inch display with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels. It includes dual-SIM capabilities, meaning it can house two Micro-SIM cards and operate with one while the other is in standby. It comes with 16 GB of internal storage and 2 GB of RAM. Its internal storage cannot be expanded because the phone does not include a memory card slot. The phone features an 8-megapixel main camera and a five-megapixel selfie camera. The Huawei P6 S also includes a 2000 mAh non-removable battery, meaning its battery is attached to the inside of the phone with a permanent adhesive, making repair and replacement more difficult than for removable batteries.

The phone includes the Android three-button navigation system with a ‘home’ button in the center of the phone’s bottom bezel (indicated with a house-shaped button), a ‘back’ button on the left side of the ‘home’ button (indicated with an arrow pointing to the left), and a ‘show-all-open-applications’ button on the right side of the ‘home’ button (indicated by a square).
