The Honor 6 is Huawei's newest aircraft, but undercover. Because it must look like Honor is a new, special brand.
Huawei wants to take the Honor 6 high-end devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S5, Nokia Lumia 930 and Sony Xperia Z3 to the throne by making its specifications available at a significantly cheaper price. More or less comparable in terms of specifications and now also in terms of price is the already one year old LG G2. And also the difference with the Huawei Ascend P7 is at first sight minimal.
To not be inferior to the big boys, the Honor 6 has a 5 inch screen with Full HD resolution, 1.3 GHz octacore processor, 13 megapixel camera and a hefty battery. To enhance the accompanying underdog image, the device is only available online without a subscription.
What's with the device?
Even though Huawei tries to make us believe that Honor is an independent brand, they can't keep up appearances. On the box there is already the logo and the brand name of the Chinese manufacturer. The same goes for the included accessories. These are a headset and a microUSB cable with a fairly large socket adapter. All in white.
In a cardboard envelope we also find a quick start guide and two transparent covers for the front and back. When we found this out, it already appeared that this is not a superfluous luxury, especially for the back of the aircraft, more about that later on. Finally, Huawei supplies a card ejection tool with the Honor 6. This is a plastic sheet with which the SIM card and microSD card can be printed out of the device.
