The Honor 6 Plus's dual camera sounds interesting to me.

If I get it, it will be my first ever Huawei phone.

What are your thoughts on it? RM 1,399 for original set now.

Greetings. Just got my Honor 6 PLUS a few days ago and fooled around with it.

I'm gonna provide a quick review, or more to feedback of the phone, based from my personal preference.

The metal frame surrounding the phone looks similar to the Iphone.(Not an apple fan). The metal frame covers only 80%(roughly) of the phone where the bottom part, which houses the micro usb port is left naked with its core plastic build.

EMUI is ok at best, which simple, but insufficient. There is a notification LED on the top left corner of the phone, but its not customizable. A Notification center is available in Settings, but you could only select which apps could be pushed notified. ONLY. This bothers me because while charging, the LED is white, and when it reaches 90%, it turns green. Not even full yet. (WTF). Multi-screen doesn't let you open two apps at once, but instead its more to a mirror feature with other phones.(not sure if it works with Huawei phones only).Also, not a fan of the themes provided by EMUI.
One interesting feature is the "Touch-plus" where you can add a special SP and you can enable off-screen buttons instead of the default on-screen.(Heard it costs roughly RM70)

Performance time. The 3GB RAM was fluid, although there is some micro-stuttering when i tried launching all the apps available. I played Beast Quest for 20mins, and phone got slightly warm, no lags.
Using the camera was great. I'm not a camera expert, but pictures were great. I was hoping that the dual cam had some sick feature besides the 'bokeh' thing, but other features was satisfactory.
In most reviews, people claim the speakers was disappointing but I think its OK. It can get loud in noisy environments, also, satisfactory.

The large 3600mah battery is no joke.

To conclude, I believe that the Honor 6 Plus is a solid phone and worth trying. To those who are interested in buying this, what you get in the box besides the norm is 2 SP's(1 front, 1 rear), card tray eject tool and headset(not sure if this a norm nowdays)

Nice review man. biggrin.gif

Mind testing out the camera for us? Interested to see some 'bokeh' sample shots from the dual cam! thumbup.gif

Honor 6 Plus users.

How's the battery life on yours?

Better if you can compare to a previous phone you have used.

Thanks!
