The Honor 6, made by Huawei, is one of an growing trend of manufacturers selling high-end Android devices at medium range prices much like the OnePlus One and (arguably) the HTC Desire Eye. Virtually all reviewers were seriously impressed by the value for money the Honor 6 represents - with a high resolution screen and fast processing speeds of the top-end phones, there's very little not to like about it. The main criticisms the Honor 6 faces have been about the software Huawei have placed on top of Google's Android operating system. If you can overlook that, it's one of the best phones you can buy for £250. Note: the Honor 6 is exclusively available in the UK from Amazon.

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

PC Advisor | Chris Martin

We're seriously impressed by the Honor 6 which provides specs you would normally pay a lot more for. Its downsides don't stop the Honor 6 being the best value smartphone around.

CNET UK | Andrew Hoyle

Its software might not be perfect, but the Honor 6 packs an impressive lineup of specs for a brilliant price. If you want the crisp screen and fast speeds of the top-end phones but don't fancy the price tag, the Honor 6 is a great phone to go for.

NotebookCheck | Florian Wimmer

Therefore, we can certainly give the Honor 6 a general purchase recommendation: If battery life and a metal casing are secondary, taking Honor's "honorable" offer is worth consideration.

Recombu | Chris Barraclough

With the Honor 6, Huawei has crafted one of the best mid-tier smartphones of recent times. At this price point the Honor 6 is a winner.

Stuff

The Honor 6 Plus is a solid pick if you want a high-end phone without the top-end price. In everyday use there's nothing too glaring to separate this phone from one a good deal more expensive.

TechRadar | Jon Mundy

Huawei should be reasonably proud to put its name to this affordable Android powerhouse, even if it doesn't look like much.

Expert Reviews | Katharine Byrne

The Honor 6 is a great smartphone, and its performance gives several top smartphones a real run for their money. If Huawei's Emotion user interface doesn't bother you, and you want the best value phone for its price range, you should buy the Honor 6.

The Gadget Show

The Huawei Honor 6 gives you a serious amount of tech bang for your buck: It's fast, packed with features and it looks good too. While it doesn't top the Moto G for value and it has a few OS quirks, if you're willing to spend a bit more than what Motorola has to offer, you get a vibrant full HD screen and flagship-rivalling specs, all in a slim shell and for less cash than many of the top names.

Trusted Reviews | Andrew Williams

The Huawei Honor 6 is a quirky phone, but one that also offers top value. It is a high-value, aggressive phone of the kind we thought had disappeared from Huawei's ranks. It beats all the big-name competition.

The Next Web | Ben Woods

In a market that thrives on the definitives of 'fastest', 'lightest', 'cheapest', the Honor 6 fails all around – but as an Android device with specs that punch well above its weight, it's hard to ignore.

Mobile Choice | Sunetra Chakravarti

It has premium features at a brilliant price- but, we expected a little more. It is a great phone for the price, dont get us wrong. But it is just that- it doesnt reinvent the equation for its stablemates like the HTC Desire Eye...

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
