If you are buying a phone under a 20K budget in India, the Huawei Honor 6 is the obvious choice to make. Why? Well, let’s find out.
Right from the first glance you can notice the beautiful design of the smartphone. Whether you buy the white or the black version of the phone, the glass front and back gives the phone a premium look. The smartphone is also quite ergonomic and doesn’t feel like a large 5-inch device in the hand.
The Huawei Honor 6 also sports a beautiful 5-inch 1080p display. The display has true colour reproduction and good viewing angles. It doesn't matter whether you are inside a dark room or outside in the bright sun, you will have no visibility issues with the screen.
In terms of performance, the Honor 6 is able to perform very close to high end smartphones and better than its competitors. The 3GB RAM and the octa-core processor together perform flawlessly, no matter what you throw at it. Huawei’s new octa-core Kirin 920 processor is one of the most efficient octa-core processors to date.
Now generally if you put high end specs like an octa-core processor and a 3GB RAM in a smartphone you will end up with battery issues even if you are a light user. But the Honor 6 with its Kirin 920 behaves like a tamed beast. The phone easily lasts a day of heavy use and if you are a light user, you can easily get at least 2 days of battery life.
The Huawei Honor 6 clings to network reception like no other, whether you’re in a high-rise building or in an underground subway train. Even in situations where other phones fail, you can easily surf the web on the Honor 6.
Nowadays a lot of smartphones provide a 13MP camera at the back, but there are few that perform like the Huawei Honor 6. The rear camera is lighting fast and takes great looking photos. Combined with a dual LED flash, the Huawei Honor 6 is more than capable of shooting at night. The Honor 6 also takes excellent 1080p videos. The 5MP camera at the front is also quite suited for selfie-lovers.
No other smartphone under the Rs.20,000 mark is able to compete with the Huawei Honor 6’s hardware. No other smartphone has almost a day and a half of battery life. No other smartphone in its segment has 3GB of RAM. No other smartphone in its category comes even close to the screen quality, call quality or the camera quality that the Huawei Honor 6 offers. So, In many ways the Huawei Honor 6 is the best smartphone to buy in its segment.
