They utilize the most affordable specs and features so that users can effortlessly enjoy this phone without a problem.

Honor X6 Smartphone Review

Highlights

  1. The phone arrives with a 6.5inches TFT LCD panel that will provide HD resolution.
  2. The company delivers the standard Helio G25 chipset to support the daily usage of the users.
  3. As for the software department, you will find the Android 12-based Magic UI 6.1 custom skin.
  4. In terms of the camera setup, it offers a 50MP triple camera setup at the back with a 5MP selfie.
  5. Finally, the phone also includes a Li-Po 5000 mAh battery with 10W slow charging support.

Design and Display

At first instance, the phone looks pretty much the same as the Honor X8 5G since the company uses the identical body model for the Honor X6 smartphone. But it’s good to see that smartphone makers are providing several color variants from which the users can pick the best options. It includes the Ocean Blue, Titanium Silver, and Midnight Black variants.

All of them appear to be classic and grant an impressive in-hand feel. But if you are looking for something different and out-of-the-box fancy design, we would suggest you should check out Ocean Blue. Aside from this, the phone doesn’t feel that bulky since it weighs around 194 grams with an 8.7 mm side panel. Moreover, the fingerprint scanner is embedded in the power button of the side panel.

Moving to the front display, the device is offering a slim bezel 6.5 inches TFT LCD panel that might not have high-quality content support, but it offers presentable contrast and colors for a decent viewing experience. Besides this, the 720p resolution display does push the limits to some level, but at the same time, you won’t receive any advanced refresh rate or better brightness support with this screen.

Memory and Internal

The Honor X6 delivers performance with the 12nm mediate MT6762G Helio G25, which is not a powerful chipset when compared to other 4G chips present in the current market. It’s one of the factors that the company has cut corners, but still, you are getting 4G connectivity and approximately 4×2.0GHz cloaking speed with this processor. Although, the graphic ends are not the best choice for gaming.

However, it can’t be denied that the phone supports casual games without much difficulty, so a few hours of gameplay of Candy crush or Temple run won’t affect the screen time. Furthermore, this device equips with the Android 12-based Magic UI 6.1 custom interface. With this UI, you will obtain various features to modify the user experience according to your needs.

Though, you will notice a few bloatware apps inside the interface that will make this phone a bit sluggish. But hopefully, the company is providing 4GB RAM on the Honor X6 smartphone so that you can do the task without any struggle. Furthermore, you can choose the internal storage between 64GB or 128GB space. Moreover, there’s a secondary expandable storage unit present in the SIM tray so that you can get more space.

Camera

The Honor X6 smartphone comes with a triple camera setup, though you will find four punch holes on the back panel. Apart from the camera, there’s a Flash LED present alongside the camera island. Speaking of which, the camera results are mainly dependent on the 50MP primary lens because it provides the best results in daylight and lowlight situations.

You will obtain natural colors with crisp contrast when you are capturing photos in daylight and the AI software boost the details to some extent. Though, the lowlight photos are slightly falling behind the competition since noise reduction is less. But at the same time, the portrait modes and close-up shots are good enough to share on social media. However, we won’t deny that the combo of 2MP macro and depth lens is useless.

There’s a reason for that as well since depth perception and close-up shots are possible with the software end too. But anyway, they are present to increase the number, while the 5MP selfie lens camera results are just above average, but you won’t find that many details with the selfie end. Lastly, it’s possible to record 1080p resolution videos with the native camera application.

Battery and Others

The battery section is one of the essential sections you should consider looking at before purchasing any smartphone. With this phone, you can expect long gaming sessions, more than five hours of content screen streaming, and six hours of social media usage through the Li-Po 5000 mAh battery. Besides this, the battery endurance is also quite good since the phone can stay active for more than two days with a single charger.

Although you won’t get fast charging support, instead the company added a 10W charger inside the box, which will need two hours to refill the battery capacity. Not to forget, the sound output is crisp, but it’s not that loud. As for the price point, the Honor X6 smartphone costs around $191 (Rs. 15,800 in India) approx.

Conclusion

The Honor X6 is pretty much like any entry-level phone that got decent battery life and 4G connectivity. But, the camera quality of the main sensor is worth noting and the display usage is not that bad either. If you are looking for a value-for-money phone, the X6 does complete some points in the checklist. It has good decent performance, ample storage, a 3.5 mm jack, good content support, and so on.

At the moment this review is being written, the phone is exclusive to the UK and European smartphone markets. But if the phone goes on the worldwide stage, you should consider this device as a budget-friendly option. Meanwhile, you should also check alternatives such as Motorola Moto G (2022) for a smooth stock android experience. Finally, choose the phone according to your desire!
