Chinese handset maker Huawei is one of the many names that are coming up in terms of the Indian handset market. But it's also one of the few that's really set to make a deep mark on the entire scenario.
Huawei's presence in the sub-20k segment has been short but effective. And the presence of a handset such as the Honor 6 is more than just a reminder of how the market is growing and evolving.
Power packed with an Octa-core SoC and HiSilicon Kirin 920 chipset that has a CPU with a maximum clock speed of 1.7 MHz, the Huawei Honor 6 comes with 8 core(s), resulting in extremely efficient multi-tasking when compared to dual core processors. Further, there is a 3 GB RAM and 16GB ROM, supported by Huawei's 30% Patented Power Saving Technology, which is 3100 mAh energy efficient battery and results in Low Heat Generation.

The elegant and sleek look of the Honor 6 has been inspired by the peacock and Huawei Honor 6 has got a patented Emotion UI 2.3 and magazine Lock Screen. The smartphone comes with an impressive 5.0 inch display that's bright and colorful and it runs on Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS. Further, the device packs a 13 MP Sony camera along with 5 MP front camera and you will also find an unparalleled 4G LTE Support.
With the 3G bandwidth soon dying out, it's slowly but surely being succeeded by the amazingly fast 4G LTE. And one of the few phones at Rs 19,999 to offer the support is the Honor 6. With support for up to 300Mbps, you can expect great speed at your disposal.
While chances are you may have come across the Honor 6 a few times already, but you must have been wondering as to what this phone is all about and if it's worth buying? Here are 10 reasons supporting why you should buy this power house.
While there are many is this sense, the touch screen technology on the Huawei Honor 6 is both resistant and extremely sensitive. This provides benefits like non-touch floating operation support and double-touch screen activation. Add to that JDI 5.0 inch FHD Incell screen and pixel density of up to 445 PPI. There's a lot of criticism in the market on the way smartphones are sometimes made or formed. The biggest example that has been Samsung and its use of plastic more often than not. But Huawei has actually taken care of it and used a 6-layer high composite technology, design never seen before in a smartphone. This gives it transparency, while offering a stunningly beautiful look and feel in the hand. Most phones in the sub-20k genre usually have a common thing running between them: the addition of 2GB RAMs. However, the Honor 6 goes the distance by offering a GB of extra RAM support for ensuring that there are no issues whatsoever. The Huawei Honor 6 also stands tall in the camera department as well. The Huawei Honor 6 offers a 13-megapixel camera on its back and a 5-megapixel one on the front. And with a dual-LED flash alongside the main rear camera, it seems like this phone has it all. Users can also expect crisp image quality and color reproduction from the cameras provided. While the smartphone itself offers brilliant support in terms of camera and video, it also lives up to the kind of image quality you might expect from it. For starters, the handset's camera is quite impressive in the daylight with the images, making use of the sensors inside for better reproduction of colors. With the big display on the smartphone, it was anyway essential to offer the kind of vibrancy that you may look for in a handset of this caliber. And needless to say, the crisp vibrancy on the Honor 6 leads to extra impressive viewing angles with the option to tweak the colour temperature of the display. We have been a bit down with the EmotionUI of the past since it had a few nibbling issues that were needed to be dealt with. However, with the Honor 6, those issues are a thing of the past. The new UI makes an attempt at infusing a bit of iOS into Android by getting rid of the apps menu. The UI makes sure you have everything on the homescreen of the phone that you might need. EmotionUI, apart from being an adaptive user interface, is also one of the last few interfaces on the planet to embrace themes, which were much more popular in the days before Android. With the Huawei Honor 6, you will get three attractive yet simple themes pre-installed, and you can download dozens more directly from the phone The Huawei Honor 6 has a huge 3100mAh battery, the same size used by the Sony Xperia Z3. And that too, even though the Honor 6 has a smaller screen as compared to that of the Xperia Z3. Expect the phone offer you at least a day and a half of juice before you connect it to the charger. This means more on the cards than you can possibly expect.Bright and Crisp Full HD Display
