Being productive during stressful times can be quite challenging for everyone. As a working millennial who relies on smartphones to serve as a window to the outside world, the gadgets we use need to be equipped with enough apps that can help us in our day-to-day hustle from work to well-deserved me-time. To help you adjust to the “new normal” and the new app platform on your Huawei mobile device, here are some suggestions to keep you productive, motivated, and well-rested during your daily grind:

APPS FOR YOUR FULL-ON PRODUCTIVE MODE

1.WPS Office, Microsoft Word, and OfficeSuite

Where to download: AppGallery

What we usually use on our laptops should now be accessible via mobile so it’s easy to open and edit files anywhere and anytime. This is proven to be helpful in meeting deadlines while also being on the go.

2. Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Where to download: AppGallery

Of course, we need to use the right words when sending emails and crafting materials for work. This is also handy when you need to look for specific terms during a meeting!

3. Viber

Where to download: AppGallery

At my workplace, work-related conversations are usually made via Viber. It has a group call, video call, and group chat function, and it’s accessible by everyone – regardless of what country they’re in. Not to mention the cool sticker packs in the app!

4. Maps

Where to download: AppGallery

Can’t get lost during a time like this! Turn on your GPS and check where you’re supposed to go before heading out.

5. PayMaya

Where to download: AppGallery

Being productive also includes paying all your bills, transferring funds to your work suppliers, and other ‘adulting’ responsibilities. PayMaya enables users to transfer money to different banks, too.

6. Google Mail and Google Drive

Where to download: Browser, Phone Clone

For those who are worried about not being able to access their Gmail via a Huawei phone, don’t worry because it’s not totally blocked! Emails and files on GDrive can still be accessed via browser.

APPS FOR EDITING PHOTOS

7. PicsArt

Where to download: AppGallery

For people like me who are required to take photos of company events and the like, quick photo editing tools like PicsArt is a must-have. It has a collage feature for each platform and as well as artsy options for your Instagram aesthetic needs.

8. Lightroom CC

Where to download: APK Pure

For those who got used to using Lightroom via laptop, there’s a mobile version for color corrections and photo enhancements while you’re on your phone.

APPS FOR SOCIALIZING

9. Twitter

Where to download: Quick App Center (via AppGallery)

Man is a social animal, right? Online conversations sometimes give us inspiration for work-related tasks. In fact, trending topics on a Twitter is something that we should check every day to be in the know.

10. Facebook

Where to download: Third-party APK (via AppGallery)

To provide us with important news, updates about our family and friends, Facebook is the way to go. It’s a nice-to-have to keep ourselves in the loop.

11. Instagram

Where to download: Browser

For your daily dose of pretty photos, head over to Instagram! You can use this platform as an inspiration for your next photo. It has all things aesthetically pleasing, glitz, and glamour.

APPS TO WATCH OVER YOUR HEALTH

12. FoodPanda

Where to download: AppGallery

At the end of the day, health is still wealth! It’s important to keep ourselves well nourished by purchasing food for lunch, snacks, or dinner. FoodPanda has a lot of options and coupons for your hungry tummy.

13. Drink Water Reminder

Where to download: AppGallery

When we’re busy, we sometimes forget to complete our 8 glasses of water. Download this app if you need hourly reminders on when you should hydrate.

APPS FOR ENTERTAINMENT

14. Candy Crush Mania

Where to download: AppGallery

Quick breaks are essential, especially for mind-boggling tasks. To keep our brain cells working, I personally turn to Candy Crush – easy yet still entertaining after all these years.

15. Word Cross

Where to download: AppGallery

On the other hand, when thinking of words for written tasks, I usually play Word Cross to help me think of the best words to use. It’s a game but it stimulates our brain!

And if worse comes to worst and you end up feeling stressed, there are online shopping apps like Shopee and Lazada, too. Both platforms offer free delivery and free discount codes from time to time. Gotta de-stress to be productive again, right?

All these apps can already be downloaded via the Huawei Y6p – an ideal companion for people who need an affordable phone that won’t budge. It has reverse charging capabilities and a long-lasting battery life -thanks to its 5,000mAh juice, decent triple cameras (13MP + 5MP + 2MP) for an entry level smartphone, and large storage with 4GB RAM and 4GB ROM – all at a Php 5,990 price point. This is actually a plus for the Huawei Y6p since other brands within the same price range usually have lower storage and camera specs.

Every unit now comes with an AppGallery, the third biggest app platform in the world, which houses apps that are continuously increasing in number. However, in case the app you’re looking for isn’t available yet, it’s easy to request for it via the ‘Add to Wishlist’ option. Alternatively, you can use AppGo, which enables users to access top apps on their Huawei phones. The app can direct you to the best way to access your favorite apps— whether via Huawei browser, third-party platforms like APKPure, or direct download via AppGallery. Plus, AppGallery downloads entitles users to the Rewards System via the platform. This can give you instant credits or free coins for in-app purchases.

The Y6p also fashionably blends in with our OOTDs with its three colors – Phantom Purple, Emerald Green, and Midnight Black. You can read more about this new unit in this link.
