Honor 6X Features
The Honor 6X features a 5.5-inch 1080p display up front covered in 2.5D rounded glass. Android Marshmallow with EMUI 4.1, apparently with an update to Nougat coming ultimately on that display. The device has an octa-core Kirin 655 processor and up to 4GB of RAM and 3 of its variants will be coming in 3GB/32GB, 4GB/32GB, and 4GB/64GB.
The Honor 6X is packed with a 3,340 mAh battery but we don’t know if it has USB C. It supports dual-SIM functionality as well. There is a microSD card slot in the SIM slot and VoLTE support.
The Honor 6X also includes another fingerprint sensor with a dual-camera setup straight above. The 12MP camera has somewhat larger pixels than average while the other 2MP camera is designed for sensing depth information in order to achieve better background blur. You will have an 8MP camera up front as well.
Pre-orders for the Honor 6X start today in China while the sales will initiate October 25th.
