The HONOR X6b Brings Flagship Features For Under P6k
There's no stopping smartphone brand HONOR from its current streak of back-to-back bang-for-the-buck launches. This month, the brand revealed to the local market a new option for the budget-savvy Filipino techie, the HONOR X6b.
Years ago, the features and functions on the HONOR X6b were only exclusive to flagship, expensive mobile devices. But in the fast-paced world of technology, what seems undoable today could be a no-brainer in the near future. The HONOR X6b is a proof of this. Here are the reasons why.
It has an iPhone-like Magic Capsule
Looking to experience the Dynamic Island feature on the recent iPhone models? The HONOR X6b has the same feature for a much lower price.
Called the Magic Capsule, the oblong mini screen on top of the HONOR X6b's screen replaces the usual water drop or punch hole notch that conceals the front camera.
Apart from the aesthetic effect, the Magic Capsule can be used for a number of functions. It displays notifications and app status for music, timer, alarm, and voice recording.
Its screen is as bright as it can be
Screen brightness is often considered as a supplementary feature on smartphones. But with the HONOR X6b, the brand made sure that the device's vivid display maintains its colors even under direct sunlight, thanks to its 780nits high brightness.
This complements the HONOR X6b's 6.56-inch screen with a 720 x 1612 resolution that carries 16.7 million colors. Plus, the HONOR X6b has a 90Hz screen refresh rate for that smooth scrolling experience.
Its battery life can last a day and more
The HONOR X6b beats some of the flagship smartphones in the market today in terms of battery capacity. While some devices with a more expensive price tag come with batteries that range from 3,000mAh to 4,500mAh only, the HONOR X6b costs less with a massive 5,200mAh capacity.

With this, HONOR claims that the HONOR X6b can last up to three days on a single charge. Another plus factor in the battery department of the HONOR X6b is its 35W HONOR SuperCharge support that can fuel the device up to 20% within just 10 minutes of Turbo-Charging.
If you frequent social media, you'd know that the battery health of a smartphone is somehow a big deal to some users. HONOR addresses this by equipping the HONOR X6b with a battery that has an anti-aging durability feature. This means that even with four years of usage, the battery of the HONOR X6b is as good as new.
It comes with extra storage
According to HONOR, the 128GB storage of the HONOR X6b can hold over 27,000 photos, more than 11,000 songs, and more than 400 movies.
Its 12GB dynamic RAM, meanwhile, gives the HONOR X6b ample room to carry out multiple apps running in the background at once without lags. This can also be attributed to the HONOR X6b's MediaTek Helio G85 8-core processor which specializes in gaming functions. With this, the HONOR X6b should be capable of handling popular mobile gaming titles with the right settings.
It's camera-centric
HONOR has since long jumped onto the bandwagon of budget-friendly smartphones with a multiple-camera setup. On the HONOR X6b, two cameras come into play to achieve social media-ready shots, including a 50-megapixel (f/1.8) main camera and a 2-megapixel (f/2.4) depth camera. For selfies, the HONOR X6b offers a 5-megapixel lens.
Photography modes on the HONOR X6b come in a variety such as Portrait, Time-lapse, Capture Smiles, Panorama, PRO, and HRD Photo. Some of these modes utilize artificial intelligence for object recognition and enhanced image quality.
Videography, on the other hand, supports 720p and 1080p at 30 fps in 1920 x 1080 resolution.
It has a chic physique
There are three colorways on the HONOR X6b to choose from, namely Forest Green which is an elegant share of jade with a subtle touch of sparkle; Starry Purple which is an ombré of purple, pink, and yellow with streaks of shine; and Midnight Black with a minimalist, solid look.
The HONOR X6b is available via the HONOR official Shopee store for a discounted price of P5,699 from its original price of P6,999.
