After a bunch of rumours, Huawei yesterday launched its new smartphone Honor 6X. Huawei has claimed to have received more than 1 million registrations in just one day’s time. Though we know that these registration doesn’t necessary mean that 1 million users will buy the device still this is one of the best response received by a Huawei smartphone. The recently launched Honor 8 reached 5 million registrations within first four days so Honor 6X has been yet another successful launch up till now.
However, as the smartphone has only been launched in China so these registrations are mainly from that region. Registrations for the Honor 6X will continue till 24th October and the device will be released on the next day i.e. 25th October.
Regarding the specifications, Honor 6X comes with a metal unibody design which surrounds a 5.5-inch full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) 2.5D curved glass display. It is powered by a Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin 655 (4 x 2.1GHz + 4 x 1.7GHz) processor and has Mali T830-MP2 GPU for graphics. It comes with either 32GB internal storage with 3GB/4GB RAM or 64GB internal storage with 4GB RAM. The storage can be further expanded up to 128GB via micro SD card. The smartphone runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system and has the Huawei Emotion UI 4.1 (EMUI) user interface. Regarding the battery, Honor 6X houses a 3340 mAh battery.
The Honor 6X boasts a dual rear camera setup which include a 12-megapixel primary sensor with LED Flash, PDAF and a secondary 2-megapixel sensor. On the other side at the front we get an 8-megapixel camera for selfies and video chat. Besides, an LED flash and a fingerprint scanner are also on its back panel just below the camera setup. For connectivity, the smartphone offers Hybrid Dual SIM, 4G with VoLTE, WiFi (802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth 4.1 and GPS. The handset measures 150.9 x 72.6 x 8.2 mm and weighs around 162 grams.
