Why the Haier Voyage V6 Is Underrated but Offers Great Value

Modern Features for a Lower Price
The Haier Voyage V6 comes with a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display, which is sharper and more comfortable for reading and media than many cheaper phones with lower resolution screens. (whatismyphone.net) It also includes a 13 MP rear camera with LED flash and an 8 MP front camera—solid specifications for everyday use. (whatismyphone.net) The V6 supports LTE, has a fingerprint sensor, dual-SIM slots, and a MicroSD card slot, adding flexibility for storage and network access. (sim-unlock.net)

Useful Performance and Battery
It runs on a mid-range chipset with about 3 GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage, which is decent for social media, light multitasking, and daily apps. (wirtualnemedia.pl) The battery capacity is around 2,900-3,000 mAh, which isn’t massive but can suffice for moderate usage if you don’t push it with heavy gaming or video streaming.

Build & Extra Features
The phone includes common but valuable extras: a 3.5 mm headphone jack, Micro-USB with OTG support, LTE, and basic sensors like GPS, proximity, and ambient light. (whatismyphone.net) Its design—though not flagship quality—offers what many users want: reliable basics without paying for premium branding. Also, the fact that its back battery is removable (depending on variant) is rare and appreciated by users who want to replace batteries easily. (whatismyphone.net)

Why It’s Overlooked

Many buyers compare phones based primarily on camera brands, ultra-fast processors, or flashy designs. The Voyage V6 doesn’t compete in those flashy specs; instead, it offers a well-balanced package. Its release date (around 2017) means it lacks the newest features found in current mid-range phones, such as USB-C ports, AMOLED screens, or very high refresh rates. Those shortcomings hurt its hype but don’t necessarily hurt its usefulness, especially for budget-conscious buyers. (whatismyphone.net)

Market Price in Kenya & Where to Buy

Estimating its price in Kenya is tricky because stocks are limited. Most listings I found are in the second-hand or importing market. Based on conversion rates, a used or imported Haier Voyage V6 can cost around KSh 6,500 to KSh 10,000, depending on condition, import fees, and seller.

Stores and channels that occasionally stock it include:

• Local resellers and small electronics shops in Nairobi (e.g., around Kimathi Street, Tom Mboya Street)
• Online marketplaces like OLX Kenya, Facebook Marketplace
• Import-oriented vendors who bring older / refurbished phones

Because new stock is rare, looking for a unit in good condition, with a working battery and screen, can yield high value at that price range.

Final Verdict

If you want a budget phone that covers the essentials—decent display, LTE connectivity, basic camera, dual SIM, expandable storage—Haier Voyage V6 delivers more than many competitors in its price bracket. It won’t rival current mid-range phones on speed, camera prowess, or cutting-edge features, but for someone looking for a reliable, honest smartphone without overpaying, it offers very good value.

For those who prioritize battery life, gaming, or new features, newer phones may be better. But as long as your needs are basic and practical, the Voyage V6 can be an underrated gem in the market.
