Honor didn’t announce a spanking new phone, since the Honor 6X was already announced back in October for the company’s home market in China.
Quite expectedly, Honor took the stage and announced that the Honor 6X was coming to the remaining global markets most notably the US, EU, UK, and UAE. For a full list of countries, check out the news post. Hands-on for the Honor 6X can be found here.
Last year, the Huawei-owned company debuted its first device in the US at CES called the Honor 5X. It offered features that were unheard of for $199. Honor upped itself with the Honor 6X, though it also bumped the price up by $50. Honor is going with a Chinese retail practice with the Honor 6X in the States: The company will be hosting four flash sales with limited quantities at $50-off the MSRP.
The Honor 6X’s design is refined over the 5X. Honor went with a HiSilicon Kirin 655 CPU instead of relying on Qualcomm’s mid-range Snapdragons. Also new to this price range is a dual-camera setup, this camera setup pairs a 12MP camera with a 2MP depth sensor. The dual-camera setup lets you take up to an f/0.95 simulated aperture for portrait-style shots with lots of bokeh (the camera’s blur effect).
While the phone and its specs look great, for the price, a couple of drawbacks are the lack of a USB-C port in 2017, as well as skipping out on Android Nougat. Thankfully, Honor said it will upgrade the Honor 6X to Android Nougat sometime in Q2 of this year.

Honor is no longer unopposed in the hyper-value smartphone space. The ZTE Blade V8 Pro was also announced at CES, which puts the Honor 6X right in its crosshairs.
