Huawei today launched the Honor 6 octa core smartphone for a price tag of Rs. 19,999. It will be available from 6th October exclusively via Flipkart. It is a single SIM smartphone running KitKat 4.4.2 out of the box.
This Huawei handset does support 4G LTE, but the Indian version (H60-L04) is Single SIM with 3G support. Huawei Honor 6 is using the HiSilicon Kirin 920 octa core processor clocked at 1.7GHz. It is coupled with Mali T628 MP6 GPU. The 5 inch screen is IPS LCD with 10 point multi touch support and supporting 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution. Weight with battery is 130 grams and handset is 7.5mm thick.
KitKat 4.4.2 runs the show with Huawei Emotion UI 2.3 with 3GB RAM and 16GB storage along with micro SD card support. There is 13MP rear AF camera with dual LED flash and 5MP on the front. Rear camera can shoot 1080p videos at 30fps.
Key features are 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Dolby digital plus sound enhancement and Bluetooth 4.0. The Li-Po battery is of 3100 mAh capacity with Ultra Power saving mode.
The Huawei Honor 6 will hit the stores soon for Rs. 19,999. Seems like a good option considering octa core with 3GB RAM.
Does huwai honor 6 h60 l04 support 2g bands
does HUAWEI HONOR 6 H60-L04 indian version supports 3g and 4g in india ?
this mobile is very good..
Will this phone get android Lolipup update
is this phone support 2G and 3G in India???
Will this phone get android Lolipup update
Will the android update L available for huwai honor 6?
Kindly let me know, in INDIA the Dual SIM version of Huawei Honor 6 is available or not. If it is available, when it is going to hit in the market. Now only the single SIM version is available through Flipkart Please reply.
Yes kindly let us know how to get the dual sim variant. Will it be safe (compatible in India) to buy from e-commerce sites that import these to India?
Gogi,
According to specs the H60-L04 India variant does support LTE bands LTE2100 (B1), LTE1800 (B3), LTE700 (B28). But currently the only LTE band operational in India is the 2300 band, which is probably why Huawei left out the 4G capabilities of this device from the Flipkart datasheet.

But the interesting part is Vodafone, Reliance etc have purchased 1800 frequency for when they do eventually roll out their 4G services, so at that at some point in the future, this will be a fully compatible 4G phone!!

Could you confirm this when you get your review unit?
Thanks
Useless if it does not have 4G and Dual SIM, then we should simply boycott this as we the Indians are not inferior to any one to accept a degraded product.
Yes true. Enough of this bullshit dumping of unsold stock in India. The other day I saw so many useless old models of iphones being sold in India for a premium 20k .. those are discontinued products in USA and Europe. Service too is crap here from multinationals such as Samsung.
I think this is an excellent suggestion unless dual SIM version with LTE is provided..all Indians must boycott this..and not buy a single piece…also register in large numbers in Huawei India web site and register protests…
looks like another low balled crap on foot steps of samsung, ie. no 4g no snapdragon
its dual sim check below link,

and i want know the about Wammy Neo 5’0 HD Android 4.4 Octa Core,
please advice will it worth to buy or ?
The one launching in India is single sim and 16gb version. Check flipkart for complete specs.
There is a detailed review on Anandtech.com, the processor is no match to older Snapdragon 800 and the battery backup is also less even after being 3100mah. No gorilla glass, and battery cover is of low quality and easily scratchable in normal use.
They are selling dual sim 4G LTE version in china. It seems they are trying to dump unsold inventory here.

Its Safe to buy from this site ?????
It is safe but not sure if in case you need after sales support will it be accepted by Huawei India?
Hauwei India will not support you for after sales service,you will have to send it back to seller from whom you purchased it…and there by bare shipping charges….
Which Mobile is best by prossesor
mi4 ; zte nubia z7 ; honor 6
mi4 and Zte Nubia z7 max and mini all these 3 phones have the same snapdragon 801 processor which are superior then Huawei Hi silicon processor that Huawei Honor 6 has….. Mi4 has 3gb Ram compared to Zte nubia z7 which has 2gb Ram so Mi4 should be slightly better in terms of Multi tasking but mi4 lacks sd card slot for memory Expansion…Hopefully this helps…..
Hi Gogi
As per flipkart its single sim n its not 4G. Its also dubbed L04. If I am right then TDD LTE single sim is L02 n the FDD is L01 n L12. Please confirm if the flipkart one is LTE n dual sim. Please also confirm how is the audio quality on handsfree. Thanks I always love ur phone reviews. Thanks for the great work.
Yes thanks and have updated, it is single SIM with 3G.
USA warned their citizen about Huawei and asked corporates and government stay of from them sigin contract.As per USA Huawei is chinesh funded spying agency, but problem is indias most telecommunications contracts are done by this company.
Didn’t Edward Snowden warn the world about the US government’s NSA? He revealed that Google and Apple were providing user’s confidential data to the US government. The question is, has anyone stopped using Google and Apple products?
Well said!! But since there are no Indian brand that makes phone in India we have no choice but to choose one of these that spy on us without our knowledge.
One’s mistake can’t justify others, whatever allegation done by Edward is his personal, are there any country or person sue or claimed Google or apple spying on their government?.
Get the difference between collecting one’s personal detail than using one as spy without knowing him. If device going to collect my personal detail then i can restrict my self for using the device for sensitive information, but if the device act as local hub for collection spy data and synchronize it with it next hub anonymously that to if it is govt secrets do you accept it.
Google left china as goverment is self trying to hack in to their system, get the difference between government what we are comparing.
If one government it self banned particular brand electronics product we need think before throwing counter arguments.
We once lost country to west for closets and glittering materials.
Now losing again to electronics.
Forgot to add , I too bought Chinese mobile only
What Ed Snowden did was for the best of the world. He gained nothing by it, instead lost everything and isn’t collecting private data and tapping phones without a person’s consent considered spying? US government has done that and still it’s continuing to do that. Yes, you were right on Chinese government hacking into Google, but that’s because Google denied to censor it’s search results. PRC banned Google in its land and the US banned Huawei, simple as that. Matter of fact, neither of the governments is honest or righteous. If you were just trying to justify the US government’s act, you were just being ignorant. Yeah, almost every phone’s made in China irrespective of the brand. But what I’m trying to say is, whatever the country an OEM might be from, the user’s privacy is always at risk. And pleasure taking to ya!
indian army intelligence has also warned about the same.. that in case of war china can control our telecom network through huawei telecom boxes.almost all service providers have their backbone on huawei … gov has banned huawei for some time.. but it was temporary…. again it started….with all clearance by gov… dont know how?
Gogi sir,which is better in gpu and chipset between this Honor 6 and Mi3.
This handset is using a new chipset, I will be doing the review, will check then.
Huawei‘s octa-core SoC Kirin 920 is Faster than Snapdragon 805 according to this review.
http://www.gizmochina.com/2014/06/09/anyone-excited-lets-review-huawei-hisilicons-kirin-92092x/
yes it is as fast if not faster then Snapdragon 805 according to Antutu Benchmark but 3dmark, meta,etc scores show snapdragon to be far Superior…
hi Gogi
is Huawei known for providing regular updates to its phones? I.E. is there a chance of this getting the Android L upgrade quickly?
I don’t know I never used a Huawei device before but will be getting this one for review.
Gogi ,the both in pics seems different 2 handsets because 1 is with curved top & another is straight . what do you say..?
Gogi SIr this phone supports our 2300MHz LTE band? Could you get confirmation for that? If its true this is a great phone .. just lacks 4k recording 🙁
Hi Gogi,
Specs seems to be great. Which one you feel will be better as per the specs and performance, Honor, Mi4 or the OneplusOne?!!
I will be doing the review will check it.
Great to hear that Gogi bro.
Hi Gogi. As far as I know the Hisilicon Kirin 920 chip consists of big.LITTLE architecture packed with 4 Cortex A15 cores clocked at 1.7 ghz and 4 Cortex A7 cores clocked at 1.3 ghz so that essentially means it can go higher than 1.3 ghz that you wrote. You might want to fix that. Ain’t I right?
We got a winner here!!!
mmx is nothing before huwaei.6 on8
the name of amoled screen they price canvas 4 at 17 k foolish price should be under 11 k that phone now unka baap coming honor 6
What is the antutu score of this processor?
And how good is this processor compared to snapdragon and mediateks?
Somewhere on internet it is written as, Now when it comes to Antutu, the SoC appears to be a real killer, reaching over 40k points. But please, don’t make the mistake of believing this chipset would be anything better than a Snapdragon 801 or even 800, because in fact it’s not. A quick test in other benchmarks soon reveals that all although Antutu scores are way up there, actual gaming and processing performance of the 920 isn’t on par with a Snapdragon 801/800.
Hello, I am from Kerala and I am using Huawei Ascend P7 which uses HiSilicon Kirin 910T which is quad core processor and shows Antutu score above 25000. The HiSilicon Kirin 920 is very much advance than this and the score will be around Galaxy S5 I think. And the product quality is great. Infact everyone who looks at my phone likes it very much.
Gogi, what is the maximum expandable memory here? That’s the only thing not made clear in the post above.
It should be 64GB micro SD. It will get listed on flipkart soon, so lets see.
The GPU isn’t powerful enough & Camera have some issues based on reviews.
flipkart already made a seperate page for this set, saying something big iz coming. 🙂 on 6th october.
gud step taken by huawei to compete mi4 by xiaomi. and one plus one. 🙂
hi,
where should i buy Huawei Honor 6 Octa Core the above said price please share the details sir !!
times for that it will be on Flipkart, read the article.
I think huawei got a winner this time…..priced very aggressively…
I don’t understand why android requires 3 gb ram .google plz optimise it to run on 1 gb ram.
Yup android can run even on 512 mb Ram. Let me give an example, I use LG G2 with 2 gb Ram and Apple ipad mini with retina display. While in ipad if I open more than 2 tabs in the browser, they get cached(i.e they dont load instantly as they are not in Ram but in physical memory) but in LG G2 which has 2 gb Ram even if I open 10 tabs in browser they load instantly when I switch tabs. So higher the Ram better it is for multitasking.
Ummm.. KitKat already runs smooth on 1 GB RAM. Not sure what you’re saying?
With More Ram you can run more number of apps at a time….thus multitasking be done without any problem and apps will not crash due to low ram.
The specs are mind blowing at this price point. Can somebody explain how this HiSilicon processor performs against the likes of Snapdragon or Mediatek? On other note, expect similar such launches by Micromax, Zolo, etc. in about a month!!!
Its Huawei home grown processor and will not be seen in micromax xolo etc
HiSilicon Kirin 920 is excellent performer much better than mt6592 because of a strong gpu although gpu is not comparable to adreno 330 but gives a performance of above adreno 320 on the cpu side it uses a7 and a15 cores which is advanced
