Honor 6X deals and reviews

IT PRO | Nathan Spendelow

Honor has created a fantastically capable budget smartphone in the 6X at a very tempting price, and it's impossible not to recommend it... What's really impressive about the Honor 6X is that it holds firm against smartphones that cost twice

Alphr | Alan Martin

It's an excellent, good-looking handset that's a pleasure to use, and for the price Honor has hit, it's an easy recommendation. Put it on your shortlist.

Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow

Its design, camera quality and performance are great for the money, and battery life isn't bad either.

MobileTechTalk | Domenico Lamberti

The price tag means this is a crowded market, but when you have the solid performance, stellar battery life, great camera and more the 6X takes it away. You can find devices with better cameras, or better screen, or better performance , but finding one that has all of them at a similar price to the 6X is where it gets difficult.

NotebookCheck | Manuel Masiero

Good and affordable. Although Honor's 6X does not cost much, it is a serious competition for considerably more expensive smartphones in terms of configuration and performance. Honor's 6X combines its low price with a configuration that is almost worthy of the premium class.

The Mobile Indian | Nirupam Manik

Huawei's Honor 6X is one of the best bets you can get at this price. The dual-camera set up at the back helps the phone stand out against others whereas the performance is not an issue as well.

... if you want a well-rounded, value-for-money smartphone, go for the Huawei Honor 6X.

AndroidPit | Jessica Murgia

For its price, the Honor 6X is a value: good display, excellent battery life, solid overall performance with everyday use.

The Mirror | Leeanna Faulkner

Overall I was very impressed with the amount of smartphone you can get for your money, for a third of the iPhone 7, in terms of features and battery life. A whole lot of smartphone for a small price. However, there was just a little too much phone in terms of size which I found impractical for my small hands.

Stuff | Andrew Williams

It's double vision for Honor's latest mid-ranger, but the price is still right. A solid budget phone that could just do with a little more graphics power.

GadgetSpeak | mfereday

The world's first smartphone to come with dual-camera functionality priced at under £250.

YourTechExplained | Ian McIlwraith

The Honor 6X still has plenty of flaws, the biggest being EMUI and the camera, but even at that low price those annoyances can be overlooked. The premium build found on this phone is excellent, and certainly makes it one of the best looking phones for it's price tag.

The Inquirer | Holly Brockwell

The 6X very much lives up to the expectations of an Honor phone: a surprisingly inexpensive but feature-packed handset with a couple of little extras thrown in, namely the dual camera and smart fingerprint sensor. It's not a flagship replacement, but if you're in the market for something that'll keep you connected without breaking the bank - and looking good - the Honor 6X is a great choice for your new phone.

Mobile Choice | Sunetra Chakravarti

The 6X is a good phone but not a great one. The problem it faces is that there is a glut of excellent choices for the consumer in the market, some cheaper than it... The dual lens camera on a budget phone is all very well but if you are ultimately taking pictures for social media then the ability to do this is a tap away on Instagram.

ZDNet | Matthew Miller

The Honor 6X is an outstanding Android smartphone and is tough to beat at the low price. If I didn't write about phones for a job, I think I could honestly do all I needed with the Honor 6X.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

The Honor 6X is another excellent reasonably-priced smartphone from Huawei and is yet again a lot of smartphone for the money. It has a great camera, good build, dual-Sim and microSD card support, a snappy processor, a decent screen and good battery life. But it has an old version of Android without the latest security updates, an inferior version of Huawei's EMUI and microUSB not USB-C.

Tom's Guide | Sam Rutherford

The Honor 6X goes all in on value, giving you dual rear cameras, a fingerprint sensor and other features usually reserved for higher-priced phones... Sporting a mostly metal design, a fingerprint reader and nifty dual-rear cameras, the Honor 6X has features that you used to be able to find only on phones twice this price.

Recombu | Alex Todd

The Honor 6X is a timely update on 2016's phone with a great design, feature-rich user and camera interfaces, dependable battery life and respectable performance, all for a low price tag.

V3 | Holly Brockwell

The 6X very much lives up to the expectations of an Honor phone: a surprisingly inexpensive but feature-packed handset with a couple of little extras thrown in, namely the dual camera and smart fingerprint sensor. It's not a flagship replacement, but if you're in the market for something that'll keep you connected without breaking the bank - and looking good - the Honor 6X is a great choice for your new phone.

Android Authority | Lanh Nguyen

Huawei's new Honor 6X is a lot of smartphone for very little overall cost.

phoneArena | Stephen S.

Honor does a lot right with the 6X. The phone's attractive, while not being particularly flashy, offers some solid hardware for casual usage without getting weighed down by too many extraneous bells and whistles, and runs software that, while it's getting a little old, is all kinds of functional and customizable.

Neowin | Timi Cantisano

Honor could have phoned it in on the design and materials, kept it simple, and priced it in the same range or even lower than its previous model. In reality, it decided to up the ante on its "budget" line to increase the pressure on its competition and also improve the experience for its consumers. The device offers great construction, good performance, long battery life, a dual camera that can take good photos.

PC Mag | Ajay Kumar

Honor 6X is a solid buy, and a promising start to the year.

Android Headlines | Alexander Maxham

As this is still a great smartphone from the Honor brand, and definitely a great successor to the predecessor that the company launched last year and did extremely well with. Sure it could be a bit better in a few areas, but those areas won't stop most people from buying this device.

NDTV Gadgets | Roydon Cerejo

The Honor 6X is yet another dependable option to consider, just like its predecessor. However, it doesn't really offer any standout feature that would make you want to rush out and buy it... The dual-camera setup feels gimmicky and unnecessary, and low-light performance could have been much better.

CNET UK | Jessica Dolcourt

The Motorola Moto G5 Plus is the better budget phone in nearly every way. Get the Huawei Honor 6X only if you really want a dual rear camera.

Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman

The Honor 6X is a bit uneven. There are things that stand out in both the "Pro" and "Con" columns, which means you're sacrificing something either way you look at it.

SlashGear | Chris Davies

I suspect those who focus on photography – no pun intended – might find the Honor 6X over-promises and under-delivers. Dual-cameras may not be common on budget devices, but it seems that's for a good reason, at least for the moment. Concentrate instead on the overall package, though, and the low-cost charms of the 6X may very well have you wondering why you'd spend more to tick the smartphone boxes.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

The 6X is a fine phone that doesn't really use what it has very well. It will get the job done – but nothing more.
