Huawei isn't the only Chinese smartphone maker looking beyond its home market. The China-based company is slowly and gradually making its way into Indian market. To make sure that the brand gets noticed locally, Huawei recently launched three handsets in the country.

And today, Huawei Ascend G6 is now officially made available in India at a price point of Rs. 16,999 via official online store. The makers originally announced the Ascend G6 at this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC).

Huawei Ascend G6 - Competition

Huawei's newest Ascend G6 has been made available in India. But with a Rs. 16,999 asking, will you buy the new Ascend G6? The handset comes with an underwhelming hardware; the display is only qHD which is a bit of a disappointment and leaves it falling a little short of its rival equivalents. At a price of Rs. 16,999, we'd like to recommend the Alcatel OneTouch Idol X+. It is so far the best handset available in India with a 5-inch FHD display, plus it comes bundled with free JBL headphones and BoomBand fitness tracker.
