Perfect for the budget-conscious consumers
that wants a high spec. smartphone with a mid-level price tag. At just RM 999 (~RM1099),
the Huawei Honor 6 is powered by Huawei’s latest
HiSilicon Kirin 9202Soc Octa-core
processor (4 Cortex-A15 cores and 4 Cortex-A7 cores). It has a 3GB RAM on par with the latest
flagships. It comes with a 16GB of
internal storage with the option of an additional 64 GB of storage through a
microSD. Not to forget it has LTE too! (With Bluetooth 4.0). Which at this price point is quite amazing. It
also has a giant 3100mAh battery
locked in. All of these packed in a package that is 7.5mm thin weighing only
130 grams. Now that’s impressive.
In terms of OS, it runs the latest Android
4.4.2 KitKat with Huawei’s Emotion
UI 2.3 skin.
Its design is quite simple omitting the Huawei
logo. Only the wording “Honor” could be found on its back. Its front and back
is covered with glass much akin to the iPhone 4.
The Honor6 has a 5-inch Full HD 1080 x 1920 pixels LCD display with an impressive 445 ppi. Visibility should not be a
problem as it emits a brightness of 500 nits.
It uses a microSIM to connect to the mobile
network. For charging and data transferring, a microUSB 2.0 port can be found
on the bottom. Another added feature is that this smartphone has an IR blaster. This means, combined with
the right app, you could technically use this phone as your remote controller
for your TV, hi-fi set and etc.
Moving onto the camera now. Around 2-3
years ago, for this price you would expect a 5MP back camera with a VGA front
camera or no front camera at all. Surprisingly, the Honor6 has an incredible 13 MP back shooter (dual flash) with a 5 MP front shooter for all your selfie
needs! Although I can’t guarantee the quality of the photo but normally with 13
MP, the pictures should come out quite nice at least.
Other features that are worth noting are that it has
a notification LED, built-in apps such as Phone
Manager that does the same task as CCleaner, a Power Saving Mode to save battery, a Harassment filter to block unwanted phone calls and messages and a Do-Not-Disturb Mode.
Overall, if you’re looking for a smartphone
at a price that won’t break your bank account or slim your wallet, but offers
the same internals as a high end smartphone, this is one of the best option
available on the market. Putting aside the rather normal design, it has one of
the best specs for its price. If your budget is under a thousand you really should
pick this one up.
This phone would certainly challenge Xiaomi for the value-for-money smartphone crown!
