Honor 6X: The budget smartphone with a flair for photography
The Honor 6X comes with a dual-rear camera setup consisting of 12MP and 2MP cameras
The Honor 6X is the latest smartphone from Huawei’s sub-brand. Like its bigger brother, the Honor 8, the Honor 6X also comes with a dual-rear camera setup. This time though, you get a 12MP camera that’s aided by a 2MP secondary camera. Let’s take a closer look at the capabilities of the Honor 6X’s dual camera.
As mentioned earlier, the Honor 6X comes with a 12MP+2MP combo at the back. The 12MP primary camera sports a f/2.0 lens and a Sony IMX386 sensor. The secondary camera is used for peripheral details as well as depth to photos, which is used to create bokeh images. In addition, you will also be able to change the focus of images after they have been taken thanks to the Wide Aperture Mode. You also get Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) for faster focusing speeds.
The dual camera setup also helps when taking pictures in low light conditions as the two sensors let in twice the amount of light compared to a single sensor. Further aiding low light photography is the large pixel size. The Honor 6X comes with a 1.25 micrometer for better noise performance in low light.
Besides all these features, you also get a ‘Pro Mode’ that gives you manual control over the camera. With this mode on, you will be able to control the exposure, white balance, shutter speed and more. So, you will be able to fine tune each and every image you take based on the specific scenario as well as your preferences.
Of course, you also get a bunch of other features to help you take some artistic pictures. Besides offering pre-installed filters on the camera app, you also get specific modes such as Light Painting, which lets you take long exposure shots of light trails and so forth. There are also other modes such as time lapse, slo-mo, as well as a specific mode called ‘Good Food’ that is designed to take appealing pictures of food.
As you can see, the appealing price point as well as the camera options offered by the Honor 6X make for an interesting proposition for those looking for a budget camera-centric device.
