Honor 6X: A powerful phone at a reasonable price
Powered by an Octa-core HiSilicon 655 SoC, the Honor 6X can do a lot more than just take pretty pictures
The Honor 6X is the latest smartphone from Honor and while the highlight of the device might be its whooping dual-camera setup, it is a pretty powerful smartphone that can handle anything from videos to gaming. If you are on the lookout for a reasonably priced smartphone that can address a range of tasks then you definitely ought to consider the Honor 6X.
The Honor 6X is powered by an Octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 655 SoC, consisting of eight Cortex A53 cores divided into two clusters of four cores. One of the quad-core clusters is a power efficient cluster that is clocked at 1.7GHz. To save battery, this cluster is used for everyday tasks that do not require too much power. However, when you are performing power intensive tasks such as playing video games, the Honor 6X uses the other quad-core cluster, clocked at 2.1Ghz. This setup helps the Honor 6X deliver the right amount of power as per your needs. Besides this, you also get two variants of the phone to choose from. One offers 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, while the other offers 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. So you can choose one that best meets your needs and requirements.
If you are a gamer, then the 4GB RAM and 64GB version of the Honor 6X is more appropriate. The large storage space lets you download and installed loads of game, while the 4GB RAM makes sure that you always have the oomph to run them. This combined with the 2.1GHz power cluster in the Kirin 655 SoC ensures that these games run smoothly. Although, the 3GB RAM and 32GB version of the Honor 6X is no slouch either.
Thanks to the powerful setup, multitasking is also impressive on the smartphone. Switching between apps is pretty snappy. So you could go from reading your favorite article online, to taking pictures pretty quickly. This is definitely a feature you would enjoy on a phone that is made for taking photographs. Further, you don’t have to worry about any heating issues. The metal body of the smartphone is a good conductor of heat. So it draws heat away from the internals of the phone to the outside, where it can cool off.
However, merely having a powerful smartphone won’t do much if your device cannot last you throughout your day. That’s the Honor 6X comes with a 3340mAh battery. This is enough to last you through your day and is aided by the big.LITTLE architecture of the Kirin 655 SoC. The energy efficient 1.7GHz quad-core cluster even ensures that you are not wasting power on trivial tasks. In addition, the device comes with EMUI 4.1, which is based on Android Marshmallow. This version of Google’s mobile operating system comes with a new feature called Doze, which further helps to improve battery life even further. Not only does the Honor 6X conserve battery very well, it also charges pretty quickly. It comes with 5V/2A fast charging technology to ensure that you won’t be wasting too much time waiting for the device to charge.
Besides all this, the Honor 6X comes with a 5.5-inch Full HD display, which is large enough to enjoy videos and games on it and at the same time compact to carry around in the pocket. The curved back and rounded corners also ensure that the device will be comfortable to hold, whether you are simply browsing the internet, or playing games. Then there is the dual-rear camera setup, which consists of a 12MP and a 2MP camera. This allows you to easily take classy bokeh shots in which the subject is in focus, while the background is blurred. The Honor 6X also lets the users change the focus of the image after the photograph is taken.
The combination of all the aforementioned features makes the Honor 6X a powerful phone that can tackle a range of tasks. Add to this its camera prowess and the reasonable price — you have an affordable yet powerful smartphone to handle your daily activities and desires with ease.
