Honor 6X vs Coolpad Cool 1 camera quality

Honor 6X comes with dual cameras on back – a 12MP + a 2MP. Cool 1 comes with 13MP + 13MP dual cameras on the back. Another thing to notice is that the Cool 1 handset gives you option to choose the aspect ratio i.e. 4: 3 or 16:9 when using wide aperture mode, there is no such option on the 6X.

Honor 6X processing in wide aperture mode is amazingly fast, almost instant, whereas on the Cool 1 handset it takes some time processing images when you hit the click button.

Both handsets captures really great images, I shot the same subject using the 6X and the Cool 1 and here are the results.

As you can see the images captured by Cool 1 looks much better, especially the tree shot. Honor 6X colors are washed out. For those who understand photography – these were shot between 4:25 PM to 4:35 PM.

Which one is better the Cool 1 or the Honor 6X

For now the Cool 1 shoots much better, however both the handsets are capable and can deliver impressive shots. A software tweak is all that is needed to improve the Honor 6X camera performance.

Coolpad Cool 1 is available for Rs. 13,999.
Honor 6X price starts from Rs. 12,999.
