Camera Rating: B+
The Honor 6 has a 13 megapixel rear(primary) camera, which will produce high quality photos. Its 5 megapixel front camera makes it a good selfie phone. It can capture 1080p high definition video with its primary camera, which is second only to 4K in terms of recording quality.

The screen has a resolution of 1, 920 pixels by 1, 080 pixels, making it a 1080p HD screen. Screen sharpness can be measured in the density of pixels per square inch of screen, and at 445 PPI, it’s 1.8 times sharper than an average screen.
Sleek Form Factor with a Lighter Than Average Weight
The phone’s body is 139.60 mm high, 69.70 mm wide, and has a depth of 7.50 mm, 20% thinner than an average smartphone. It’s even thin enough to have a case while being thinner than an average phone.
With a weight of 130 grams, it is one of the lighter phones for the size of its screen. The phone has a large battery for its size, which weighs it down.
Processor and Memory
The Honor 6 houses an octa core Huawei Hisilicon Kirin 920 system on a chip. Its CPU runs at 1.3 GHz, which is about typical for clock speed.
3 GB of RAM means that it has much more memory than what’s typical, giving it a significant performance boost over most phones.
Acceptable Storage Size
The base model of the Honor 6 has 16 GB of internal storage, which is sub-par for storing music and video. Fortunately, there are other storage size options, or you can cheaply expand its storage by as much as 64 GB with a microSD card.
