Honor 6 Plus

A flagship killer device

By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

Gone are the days when mobile phones were simply for making calls and for sending/receiving text messages. Today’s digital technology has afforded smartphones with features that allow people to work and play, anytime and anywhere.

And when in the Philippines, a smartphone could be a very useful accessory especially in capturing life’s moments. Selfies captured straight from the phone camera and/or those time-captured through monopods pervade social networks every minute of the day. In this aspect alone, the Honor 6+ does not disappoint. It can capture images from its main dual-8MP camera or through its equally powerful 8 megapixel front camera with its built-in beauty filter levels.

With the Honor 6+ upgraded low light shooting ability, blurred night images become things of the past as the dual lens offer twice the amount of light captured and twice the light sensitivity of a straight lens, reducing image noise and making night photos appear clearer and brighter and in better detail.

Those who love to take selfies will also be able to capture better self-portraits as well as ‘groufies’ with an improved front-facing camera and panoramic saving mode.  “The Honor 6+ combines the visual appeal and concept of style with functionality and features found only in higher-priced smartphones. At P17,900.00, it has been dubbed as the ‘flagship killer’ and rightly so because it can go head to head with any flagship device and surpass those that are priced twice as much.

“It also has dual card, dual usage and dual 4G capabilities, which means you never have to carry two phones anymore. It is certainly for the mobile user who wants to cross boundaries and embrace the benefits of sharing things and ideas with each other,” shared business unit head Arturo Carandang, Jr.

Unlike most smartphones, the Honor 6 has a superimposed antenna that’s used to receive signal and data separately, giving the device one of the strongest connections available. Covering all 2G, 3G, and 4G (LTE) frequencies, it uses Huawei’s patented antenna technology that reduces interference.

A beautiful 5.5-inch screen will always require a capable battery that can last as long as you want it to. That’s why the Honor 6+ is packed with a 3,600 mAh battery; ensuring that it can last more than two days with normal use and even longer with ultra-power saving mode.

Plus, it’s an octa-core phone, employing two quad-core brains to accomplish more things than most phones with lesser cores. And in these fast-paced times, that’s definitely a plus wherever you view it. Powered by the lightning-fast Kirin 925 octa-core processor and 3GB random access memory, the Honor 6+ can handle any application you throw at it; from playing HD games and multitasking through the apps. But despite its power, the Honor 6+ still runs at a cool temperature due to its graphite design.

The Huawei smartphone portfolio falls under its growing devices business, alongside home devices and MBB devices. For details on this amazing gadget’s specs, you can find everything in honor.ph.
