Huawei today unveiled its latest smartphone “The Honor 6 Plus” at an event in Beijing and it’s a follow-up to its previous generation Honor 6 device.
Two things actually caught my attention about this device… The camera on this thing and its name which is the “6 plus”… I hope Apple won’t give them a hard time for using the 6 plus.
The camera actually got my attention – it’s got a dual rear 8mp camera. And that is something most Android phones are getting these days.
The cameras claim to boost the effective pixel size to 1.98 microns for improved sensitivity and thus cleaner images. By comparison, this almost matches HTC’s 2-micron UltraPixels.
Even the front camera roll on a 8mp… you can double-click the volume-down button to instantly take a photo; double-click volume-up to start recording a voice memo.
Now you know why this device has my attention.
Let’s forget about the camera and talk about this smartphone’s specs – This metallic device comes with a 5.5-inch 1080p JDI negative LCD, Huawei’s own Kirin 925 octa-core chipset, a low-power I3 coprocessor (for fitness tracking), 3GB of RAM, up to 32GB of internal storage, a 3,600mAH battery, NFC, TD/FDD-LTE Cat 6 connectivity and dual-SIM slots — microSD supporting up to 128GB of expansion, an infrared transmitter to let you control your TV, Hi-Fi system and air conditioner.
The Honor 6 Plus will come in two editions: the 16GB, 3G-only and NFC-less version will cost just about $320, and it comes in either black or white. The 4G premium edition, meanwhile, is priced about $400, and you get an additional gold color option.
“Is it just me or is this similar to the iPhone6?
