Huawei Honor 6X Review: Mid-range dual-cam, justified price

Battery and Performance

Battery and Performance

Running inside Honor 6X is the Kirin 655 – the proprietary mid-range processor of Huawei. Along it’s helped by a 3GB RAM or a 4GB RAM, however we are dealing with a 3GB variant here as the other model is not available. The package actually gives an impressive push to the phone’s performance.

Throughout our usage, Honor 6X performed flawlessly during regular use, calling, texting, or browsing. Social apps like Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp were fluid and responsive. In fact graphically intensive games also worked fine – if ignore a few hiccups. In its price, this performances is appreciable.

Not quite up to match the high-end numbers in benchmark scores, but they are good enough to stay up among its class.

Battery

Battery life of Honor 6X is also something you shouldn’t worry about. While 3340mAh battery is claimed to have two days with moderate usage and one and a half day with heavy usage, company’s rating is usually far from regular usage of a phone. 36 hours (or 1.5 days) in practical usage was pretty much acceptable for moderate use of Honor 6X – a little gaming and a few videos offline/online also included.

Extensive usage of the phone with highly needy games, continuous videos, a GPS navigation of a few minutes and shooting with camera pretty frequently, Honor 6X could leave you in 15 hours or so. A little less and controlled usage will still give you a day so that you can come back and get your phone charged.

Battery timing on Huawei devices are usually good as I really feel EMUI is an optimized flavor of Android. Ultra battery saving is yet there to save you with urgent needs of the phone for calling and texting.
