Here are some of the features and price of the Honor 6X device.

Display

The device has 5.5'' LTPS IPS LCD touch screen. The display has 16M color support with 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution. The multi touch functionality makes it a good device as many other phones in the same price range are struggling with that.

Hardware

The device has Octa core processors. It has total 4 Octa Core of 2.1 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.7 GHz Cortex-A53 processors. It has GPU of Mali-T830MP2. The device contains chipset of HiSilicon Kirin 655.

Honor 6X has the Android 6.0 installed on the system. The company seems to be locking the device for this OS. And considering the current condition of the phone, there is less likely to be Nougat update.

Camera

It has 12mp primary camera and 2mp secondary camera. It includes phase detection and auto focus. Though the quality of the Honor phone is average. Some of the reviews are good and in favor but if you check the images taken by the camera then you'd find they are average for this price range camera phones. The camera has the LED flash with decent performance.

Battery

The reviews of this phone as far as battery performance is concerned is very good. The device has the non-removable 3340 mAh battery. For this price range, I think the performance and uptime are way better than other phones.

Price

The smartpix price for the device is locked in at 12,999 Rs. On the other hand, local phone distributors are quoting the price around 13K. So I'd suggest taking a look at the online pricing.

This is definitely a good device that you can consider for budget pricing under a price of 15k.
