Honor 6 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ketaki Bhojnagarwala]()
Verdict
The Honor 6 is part of a new breed of flagships that aim to bring the same specifications and performance seen on its more expensive cousins, at more affordable rates. The other smartphones that fall into this category are the new Moto X, Gionee Elife E7 (review) and the Xiaomi Mi 3 (review). While these devices may not have the premium all-metal build seen on the HTC One (M8), LG G3 and iPhone 6, it`s a small sacrifice to make considering the price differential.The Honor 6 is in every way a tru
Pros
- Gorgeous, responsive display
- Blazing fast performance
- Good battery life
- Emotion UI is a delight to use
Cons
- Cameras are average
- Glossy back panel gets scratched and smudged easily

In terms of look and build, the Honor 6 looks very similar to the Xiaomi Mi 4 (review). Like the Mi 4, the all white Honor 6 sports a unibody design with a glossy back panel and chrome tipped sides.

Delicious display we couldn’t take our eyes off
+
Taking pride of place on the Honor 6 is the 5-inch display with full HD (1,080 x 1,920 pixels) resolution, equating to a jam-packed pixel density of 445ppi. Protecting the display is a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3, as well as an oleophobic coating to keep smudges and fingerprints at bay. The display was stunning, to say the least. It’s bright, extremely sharp and very responsive, and was a delight to use. It’s equally good for gaming, watching videos or just typing, with no lags or jitters to mar the experience. While the high brightness levels make it legible in sunlight, it’s reflective nature can disturb viewing angles.

Getting emotional about software

The Honor 6 runs Huawei’s Emotion UI 2.3 on top of Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Emotion UI is packed to the brim with features, several of which will seem familiar if you've used Xiaomi’s MIUI. It offers a completely redesigned interface, a theme store and a ton of tools that power users will love, while maintaining the simplicity and smoothness of stock Android.

The Honor 6 is well equipped in the photography department, with a 13-megapixel Sony BSI sensor with dual-LED flash at the back, and a 5-megapixel snapper in the front.

A beast on the inside
+
Powering the Huawei Honor 6 is the company’s custom HiSilicon Kirin 920 chipset, which has made its debut on this smartphone. Based on ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture, it consists of four Cortex-A15 cores clocked at 1.7GHz, and four Cortex-A7 cores clocked at 1.3GHz. This enables the processor to be more power efficient, but also allows it to use both clusters simultaneously when required. For graphics, the Kirin 920 is equipped with a Mali-T628MP4 quad-core GPU and a meaty 3GB of RAM. Additionally, the processor features a Cat6 LTE modem, one of the first to be commercially available.
