Huawei's sub-brand Honor has finally launched their much-awaited SWAG phone in India, the Honor 6X. The phone comes in two variants in India, a 3GB RAM, 32GB ROM version for Rs 12,999 and Rs 15,999 for 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. But does this phone have what it takes to be the affordable smartphone king in India? Let's find out in this video.

The dual-SIM 4G VoLTE Honor 6X comes with a 5.5 inch Full HD display with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels. The display is bright and crisp. It also offers good viewing angles and sharp colours. At times under direct light, the display does tend to get reflective but is manageable. The display is the right size and the screen to body ratio is also pretty good on the device and makes it look unique. The front of the device also uses a 2.5D curved glass that adds to the overall character of the Honor 6X.

One of the key USP's of the Honor 6X is its dual-cameras. The device comes with two primary cameras, one is a 12-megapixel sensor for capturing images and there is another 2-megapixel sensor for adding depth effect to the images. This helps the Honor 6X to click images with a bokeh effect something similar to what you get on the Honor 8 and the Huawei P9. The dual-lens rear camera offers a wide aperture range of f/0.95-f/16 as well.

Performance wise the Honor 6X comes with Huawei's own 64-bit Kirin 955 octa-core processor. The Kirin 655 packs four cores clocked at 2.1GHz and another four at 1.7 GHz. The device is also supported by 3GB RAM and a powerful i5 co-processer.The performance of the device is smooth and no lags, frame drops or app crashes were seen during our testing of the Honor 6X.

The Android 6.0 Marshmallow is loaded with Huawei's own EMUI 4.1 that's pretty stable. The device is quite powerful for the price that it comes in. The smartphone is also localised for the Indian users with 14 preloaded local languages (Hindi, Bengali, Telegu, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Punjabi, Assamese, Maithili & Nepali) and comes with the SOS button which acts as an emergency alarm and sends a SMS to a preset number along with location information.

The most surprising bit for us with the Honor 6X was its battery. The phone comes with a 3,340 mAh battery that many might think is a bit small for the power that the phone packs in. It's also lower in mAh than what you get with its direct competitor the Redmi Note 4.
But to our surprise, the device has an excellent power management system onboard. In our testing, the device could easily last for a day and a half. With light to moderate usage, it even gave us two days of battery usage. This device disapproves the theory that you just need bigger batteries on the phone to last more. This is also because of the 16nm CPU and power saving technology, that helps the device further reduce power consumption making the battery last longer.
