The Enjoy 6 offers some improvements in terms of specifications and features. While still considered an average device, it provides a slightly better experience compared to its predecessor.

Display
The Enjoy 6 boasts a larger 5.5-inch 720p IPS LCD compared to its predecessor. While the resolution remains the same, the bigger screen size is more comfortable for watching videos and playing games.
Camera
The Enjoy 6 features a slightly upgraded 8MP rear camera with an LED flash, offering improved image quality. While still not ideal for low-light photography, it captures decent photos in good lighting conditions.
The camera struggles in low-light situations, producing grainy and noisy images. Additionally, the lack of autofocus can make it challenging to capture crisp shots of moving subjects.
The 5MP front-facing camera is sufficient for basic video calls and selfies. It captures decent images in good lighting, but don’t expect too much detail or clarity.
Performance
The Enjoy 6 is powered by a 1.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 412 processor paired with 2GB of RAM. It offers a smoother experience for everyday tasks like browsing, social media, and light gaming.
However, multitasking or running demanding apps might cause some lag.
Connectivity
The Enjoy 6 supports dual-SIM 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, and GPS. While not the latest in terms of network technologies, it provides basic connectivity for everyday needs. The lack of 4G might be a deal-breaker for some users, especially those who rely on faster data speeds for streaming and downloading.
Design
The Enjoy 6 sports a similar plastic construction to the 5s, with a simple and unassuming design. It’s lightweight and comfortable to hold, but the plastic build might feel cheap to some users. The design is available in various color options, including black, white, and gold.
Battery
The Enjoy 6 packs a 3000mAh battery, which is a significant upgrade compared to the 2200mAh battery in the 5s. This provides longer battery life, allowing you to get through most of the day on a single charge with moderate usage. However, heavy users might need to top up the battery before the end of the day.
Software
The Enjoy 6 comes pre-installed with Android 6.0 Marshmallow with EMUI 4.1. This software is outdated by today’s standards, and the phone is unlikely to receive any further updates. This lack of software support might be a concern for users who want the latest features and security patches.
