After a series of aggressive social media campaigns and teasers, Huawei’s has finally brought its latest budget flag bearer – Honor 6X to India. Announced originally at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, the handset primarily grabbed attention due to its rear dual-camera setup, a trend which is now being gradually picked up by every other manufacturer.
In terms of design too, the Honor 6X doesn’t radically stand out. There is a slightly curved back and a metal unibody all around which we didn’t find quite impressive in our early impressions. Furthermore, there’s a standard 2.5D curved 5.5-inch Full HD IPS panel up front with an “honor” branding on the chin. The device is powered by a Kirin 655 octa-core chip with an option for either 3/4GB RAM, 32/64GB internal storage that is expandable up to 256GB via a MicroSD card, and a Mali-T830MP2 GPU. Underneath, a non-removable 3340mAH battery keeps things running which also supports quick charging.
Moreover, the Honor 6X also rocks a fingerprint scanner on the back which you can also utilize for capturing images, scrolling through the gallery and reveal the notification panel. The camera arrangement on the back includes a 12MP+2MP setup that can be used to produce more natural bokeh effects, PDAF, a single LED flash, and on the front, it sports an 8MP shooter. Lastly, the Honor 6X also supports 4G LTE, VoLTE, Dual-SIMs, and runs on Honor’s custom Emotion UI 4.1 on top of Android Marshmallow. Color options include Gold, Silver, Grey, Blue, and Rose Gold.
