Behold the Honor 6 Plus, Huawei’s latest offering and an upgrade to last year’s Huawei Honor 6. The honor 6 Plus is an amazing phone with specs that impress, but disappoint where the software is concerned. Let’s take a closer look at the Huawei branded flagship phone:
Specs and Display
With a Quad Core 1.8 and 1.3 GHz processor (Octa-core processor) and 3GB of RAM, the Honor 6 Plus sure is a powerhouse. The guts powering the phone are great at heavy tasking; however, they do not match the performance of other flagships like the HTC M9. The display of the device measures in at 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreen.
The best thing about the screen is the 401 Pixels per inch density, coming in at a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels. That makes it a Full HD display and exactly the same resolution as the iPhone 6 Plus.
The internal storage varies among the 3G enabled model that boasts 16GB of storage space and the LTE enabled model that has both 16 and 32GB variants. If the storage is still not sufficient for your taste, don’t worry, you can expand the storage to up to 128 GB thanks to the included Micro SD card Slot.
Camera
The back of the device sports two 8MP cameras that gives your captures an interesting twist. The primary shooter captures the image, while the second camera gives the images depth and even focusing further after the shot.
You can shoot videos at Full HD 1080p resolution. The front camera, dubbed the selfie camera, is again an8 MP shooter.
Design
There is nothing innovative in the design factor of the Honor 6 plus. In fact, it looks like an overlarge iPhone 4 with the front and black glass and the similar looks. The back has two cameras on the top left accompanied by a Dual Flash. However, the plastic panels on the sides deters the phone from feeling like a premium phone.
Software
The only let down of the Huawei Honor 6 Plus is the old and outdated Android software running on the phone. Huawei has iterated their own version of Android that makes the software look clunky and even hinders the performance of the otherwise great phone.
Conclusion
If you can tolerate the lagging software and live without the Google Play, the Huawei Honor 6 is a beast of a phone you should definitely consider buying!
