Huawei Honor 6 Plus Smartphone Review

One of the striking features of the yesteryear Huawei Honor 6 was its light weight. The Honor 6 Plus repeats the story. It is just 165 grams thin and has 7.5mm thickness. The Honor 6 Plus is a 5.5-inch device and it felt like the front-face has too much bezel on the top and bottom edge.
Huawei Honor 6 Plus offers a 5.5-inch full HD display with the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It sports an IPS LCD panel which offers great viewing angles. The display is bright and blacks are impressive. Of course, the display does not merge with the bezels in dark backgrounds.
The Huawei Honor 6 Plus houses the HiSilicon Kirin 925 SoC which has an octa-core processor in the big.LITTLE configuration. There is a quad-core Cortex A7 and a quad-core Cortex A15 processor which are paired with 3GB of RAM. The phone comes with 32GB of internal storage which can be expanded using the microSD card slot.
Huawei Honor 6 Plus comes with the Emotion UI 3.0 on top of the Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS. As we have seen with a lot of Chinese phone makers in the past – Xiaomi, Oppo and Gionee, the Emotion UI 3.0 also doesn’t have an app drawer.
One of the most important features of Huawei Honor 6 Plus is the dual-lens rear camera. It has two 8MP sensors in place of one and it’s located in the top left hand corner on the rear side of the phone. There’s a dual LED flash unit just beside the camera section. Even the front-facing camera is has an 8MP sensor.
With a 3,600mAh battery capacity, the Huawei Honor 6 Plus should easily last you over a day and a half. In fact in our 8-hour loop test involving 2 hours each of video streaming, video playback, calling and audio-playback we had 41% battery remaining.
