Honor 6X 64GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ketaki Bhojnagarwala]()
Verdict
It might come as a surprise, but the Honor 6X addresses many of the issues we had with the more premium Honor 8, including the addition of dual-SIM slots and VoLTE – both of which were lacking on the latter. The dual cameras, while not as good as the Honor 8’s, are still among the best in this price range. The 6X scores high on other fronts too – the battery life in particular is a huge bonus. There is some competition in this segment though – the Coolpad
Pros
- Good cameras
- Excellent battery life
- Sleek, ergonomic design
- Glitch free performance
Cons
- Significant camera bump
- Still runs Android Marshmallow
- More expensive than the competition
Specs at a glance

Design and display: metal, glass and curves
+
Honor has been constantly innovating on the design front, and the 6X is no different. The phone features 2.5D glass at the front, and a rear panel with sleek tapered edges which are both ergonomic and attractive. It’s fairly slim at 8.2mm, and lightweight too at 162g. The rear panel is home to the dual 12MP + 2MP cameras placed in an elliptical glass bump that protrudes a fair bit. This is our biggest design peeve with the Honor 6X, since the camera glass is at big risk of getting scratched. The only solution would be to use a case, which is a shame because the 6X isn’t all that slippery. A round fingerprint sensor is placed beneath the cameras, within easy reach of your index finger.

Software: EMUI as we know it
+
The Honor 6X runs EMUI 4.1 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. You get all the usual EMUI enhancements, including Magazine Unlock, themes, a phone manager and a health app which displays your step count thanks to a built-in pedometer. In usual Honor style, the 6X comes preloaded with a bunch of apps, both native as well as third-party.

Cameras: double action, double fun
+
The mainstay of the Honor 6X is its dual camera setup. The cameras comprise of 12MP and 2MP sensors, with the latter used exclusively for depth sensing. Like the Huawei P9 and Honor 8, the 6X features a wide-aperture mode (f/0.95 – f/16) which allows you to achieve artistic bokeh effects. The depth sensor also allows you to change the focus point after you snap a photo. The rear camera also features PDAF, and in our experience, the camera was able to focus and snap in a jiffy.

Performance: smooth operator, marathon battery life
+
The Honor 6X is powered by an octa-core Kirin 655 SoC, paired with 4GB of RAM. Our unit came with 64GB of storage, out of which 51.63GB was available out of the box. There is also a 3GB RAM and 32GB storage option. Unlike the Honor 5X (review), which had a few issues with performance, the Honor 6X is a far more stable smartphone. The phone felt smooth and snappy during our usage, whether it involved multi-tasking, gaming or streaming videos. More intensive games like Nova 3 display a few frame drops, but the heavy graphics rendered smoothly for the most part, and the phone didn’t heat up even after a 20-minute gaming session.
