    This smartphone can be quite slippery. I find it better to use a tempered glass for protection and for more grip. This phone  is quite attractive. It has slim borders on both side and you can use it with one hand. You can make the display and Swype ( Swype is a virtual keyboard for touchscreen smartphones and tablets ).  The display is quite bright and this is really good if you are reading text or watching videos. The color images are quite vivid. The glass on the Honor 6x is scratch resistant. On the left side of this budget smartphone you will see slots for 2 SIM cards The second slot is used for the microSD card slot. You can see the volume rocker and power button on the right side. They both have good touch feedback. The mono speaker and microphone can be found at the bottom. It is in line with the Micro- USB port. At the back side of the Honor 6x you can find the dual camera, LED Flash and fingerprint sensor. The fingerprint sensor acts so fast. The design is nice and the body is well-built.  This smartphone really a powerhouse but for a budget phone it has enough power to handle applications and some games. In the Antutu benchmark it scored 57,530. The PCMark test gave it a score of 4,406 and the 3DMarkUnlimited test score for this smartphone was at 7,810. This is good enough for a smartphone of this kind although a little bit of more power will be a welcome addition

   The Honor 6x is equipped with EMUI ( known as Emotion UI is an android-based user interface that augments Huawei’s user-centric design philosophy and the manufacturer calls it “Design with Empathy.” It enhances usability and gives a simpler navigational experience for users ). It works well because it does prevent major disruptions and distortions.  The Honor 6x can do well in jobs like multitasking. The music and media players are performs quite well. The camera performs well because the app gives you a lot of shooting modes and filter to choose from. This is so easy to use. The primary camera gives you good looking pictures. The secondary camera can be used for taking selfies. The Honor 6x can back-up video recording up to 1080p. The Honor 6x has a 3340mAh battery supports fast charging. You can get at least 50% charging using a 10 watts power charger. The battery can last for at least a day. In the event you use it for videos, streaming and other difficult task every single day, this could drain your battery and you must charge it quite often. This said, the Honor 6x offers good performance for a budget smartphone.
