Although Huawei has been trying to establish itself in the Indian market so long, things didn't work out as per the plan. But things drastically changed earlier this year when the company launched the Honor 6 in India. It was a major hit among Indian consumers, given the smartphone's tempting retail price at under Rs 20,000 and the hardware on offer.

Now, after tasted success with the Honor 6, the Chinese tech giant has recently launched the successor flagship -- Huawei Honor 6 Plus. Originally announced in Beijing on December 16, the Honor 6 Plus is believed to be headed to India in Q2 2015.

As far as the hardware goes, the Honor 6 Plus sports a 5.5-inch FHD display, a Kirin 930 processor clocked at 1.8GHz, 3GB RAM, either 16 or 32GB of ROM, a MicroSD card slot, a monster 3,600mAh battery, the dual-camera setup, an 8MP front-facing shooter, 4G LTE/3G and more.
