Huawei Honor 6 Plus Mobile Price in India
There has been seen a very tough competition among the Chinese smartphone manufacturers like Huawei, Lenovo and Xiaomi and everyone is performing their best in order to remain on top in the market. The struggle of Huawei is very much visible in its devices especially when it manufactures high-end devices at affordable prices. The best example of it was seen in its recent release Ascend Mate 7 which is considered as one of the best smartphones in market being used widely these days especially in the East. But this doesn’t turn out to be true with its every invention. The most recent release from the company is Huawei Honor 6 Plus which has an elegant design and nice software but it lags behind in the camera department in most of its competitors.
Features and Specifications
The weight of the handset is 165g. It supports dual SIMs. The screen is 5.5-inch large having IPs LCD capacitive touchscreen technology with 16M colors along with offering multi-touch facility. The OS here is Android v4.4.2 KitKat while quad core cortex A15 and quad core Cortex A7 processor has been used in it which is indeed very powerful. RAM is 3GB while the internal storage comes in two versions: 16/32GB both of which can be expanded further up till 128GB using microSD card. The back of the phone has dual cameras both of 8MP and dual flash lights while the front camera is also of 8MP. The 3600mAh non-removable battery has been provided in it while there are numerous connectivity options like Wi-Fi, A-GPS, microUSB, GSM, NFC and GPS.
Design and Quality
Compared to the metal construction that was observed in case of Ascend Mate 7, this device has the glass build which is clearly an inspiration from different handsets in market in order to give a very simple but attractive look to the device. It has metal frame all around it which has been taken from iPhone design and can also be found in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. It has flat sides all around except the back. Huawei Honor 6 Plus has plastic bottom that has also been copied from Sony Xperia. It can be clearly seen that the device is very much influenced from the Xperia design as this handset also has the dual glass at back and front panels. The buttons layout in this handset has not been changed. Towards the bottom of the device has the microUSB port while the top carries the 3.5mm headset jack while the microSD card and SIM slots are found towards the right hand side along with the volume rocker and the power button. The back of the device has the dual camera with the company logo along with single speaker towards the bottom. The screen is quite big but this doesn’t create any problem while handling it as it has been given support to flat sides and bezels. The design of this handset is not original rather it has been influenced by other devices.
OS and Tech
Latest OS has been offered in it above which is the powerful UI Emotion. The performance of the OS is good enough which is given good support by the 3GB RAM. The UI is very user friendly and offers quite a lot of customization in hands of users.
Camera and Multimedia
The main reason for getting the fame for this handset is its dual rear cameras which have been developed in the similar fashion as could be found in HTC One M8. The camera works the similar way as that in M8. Both, the back cameras are of 8MP and when they both work together, there could be different exposures obtained from it, thus it turns out to be a fast performer of HDR. There are different modes available in the camera app which can be easily accessed. But the performance of the cameras are not very impressive as there could be easily found graininess and the quality loss. Since the camera doesn’t have the optical image stabilizer so the video recording is not fun in this case and the videos are shaky as well. Overall the quality of still images is not bad.
Battery and Memory
3600mAh battery is good enough to provide the complete day use of the device. The screen of the device has the power saving mode and under those modes, this battery can even take the handset running more than a day. The 3GB of RAM is also impressive which makes the multitasking experience for the OS very comfortable and swift. While, the storage is also very nice large.
Pros and Cons
For Pros:
· Nice and simple design
· Nice screen
· Good processor
· Good UI
For Cons:
· No support for Google Play services
· Average camera
Verdict
The device is good enough to be used in everyday routine under an affordable price range. The price is good looking at the high end features provided to this device. But some other competitors are also there in market that are providing much better features at the same price like Oppo N3. The company’s claim about the dual rear camera didn’t turn out to be true and the performance of the cameras are not very impressive, thus this cannot be its selling point.
