For photography, the Water 6 comes with a 13-megapixel camera on the back that can shoot full HD videos at 30FPS. On the front, the mobile got a 5-megapixel selfie camera.
On the connectivity side, the dual SIM LYF Water 6 supports 4G LTE with support for all Indian 4G bands along with VoLTE (Video & HD Voice Call), 3G and 2G network support.
