Designed with durability
HONOR drew attention with its previous launches, showcasing smartphones tough enough to survive being run over by cars. Even for its entry-level devices, the brand didn't compromise durability.
The HONOR X6c is built for durability, featuring 360-degree full-body protection, HONOR Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop Technology, and the upgraded HONOR Horn-Shaped Supporting Structure 2.0—allowing it to withstand drops of up to 1.5 meters. It also carries an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance.
Smoother visuals
While most entry-level smartphones are capped at 60Hz, the HONOR X6c delivers a fluid 120Hz refresh rate, enhancing its 6.61-inch HD+ (1604 x 720) display.
