Huawei isn't saying much so far about its forthcoming Honor 6 Plus smartphone, but the company at least is teasing users with the announcement that it will release details about the handset on December 16.

So far, the leaked details about the upcoming Honor 6 Plus say it will feature a 5.5-inch FHD screen, an octa-core CPU clocked at 1.8 Ghz coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of on-board storage, a dual-camera setup of two 8-megapixel sensors, and a large battery fitted inside. The phone will sell for $320 or Rs. 19,520 without a contract.
