The online only subsidiary of the Chinese handset maker, Huawei, is one of the most preferred handset brands in India for its good looks and specifications. Honor devices have always been known for their build quality and decent performance, which make them a good value for money offering. The brand is now all set to launch its next iteration called Honor 6X, which looks like an impressive device. Here is a brief overview of the handset for everyone, who are considering a good budget handset.
Dual Camera Module: This would be one of the very few handsets in the budget segment in Indian handset market, that would come with a good camera on the rear panel. The dual camera module on the panel comprises of a 12 megapixels and a 2 megapixel camera, which is designed to produce impressive depth of field and color production.
2.5D curved glass display: Having a curved glass display is always welcome as it not only looks elegant but also make the handset quite comfortable to hold. Since we spend almost all the time spent on phone, on display, it helps if it is a delight to your eyes.
Fingerprint scanner: Like all other budget smartphone now a days, this one also comes with a fingerprint scanner mounted on its rear panel. The scanner makes it future proof as it will support the Google Pay and other such technology yet to come to India.
Might heat up: One of the major disadvantage of most budget smartphone is that they tend to heat up a lot owing to the processor used or bloatware. It is possible that the upcoming Honor 6X might as well.
