News & Reviews:   Honor 6X Malaysia launch

As usual for JerryRigEverything, they really like to test the durability of smartphones and the latest to go through this is the Honor 6X. Featuring a dual rear camera setup (12MP + 2MP) on a metal backside with a fingerprint scanner, the Honor 6X has yet to arrive here in Malaysia but we think this will be very soon. While you can watch the "torture tests" yourself below, all we can say is, best to get the phone with a case, so if Honor Malaysia comes out with an intro promo for that (hint, hint guys!) we really recommend you take it.

If you are an Honor fan, this news will be exciting for you. At Las Vegas today, they have just announced their latest affordable smartphone to the world stage. The Honor 6X builds upon the successful Honor 5X, but with better features and even a new imaging option – dual camera sensors.

After a few teasers, the new Honor 6X has been officially announced featuring dual 12MP rear cameras, a metal unibody, a fingerprint sensor, and 3GB RAM and 4GB RAM options. Detailed tech specs reveal a Kirin 655 chipset with 2.1GHz octa-core processor, 5.5-inch FHD display, microSD support, hybrid SIM, 4G VoLTE, 3340 mAh fast charging battery and 3GB RAM / 32 GB storage going for 999 yuan (RM622) or 4GB RAM / 64GB storage for 1599 yuan (RM995).

Invitations have been sent to select media for an event in China involving honor. We suspect this is for the Honor 6X, which is slated to be launched after receiving approval from TENAA. This mid-range phone is set to replace the honor 5X in the lineup.

A new smartphone is coming your way from Honor, and it is their yearly trickle down model from the top. The upcoming model is set to be called the Honor 6X, and it looks to be an upgrade to the Honor 5X.

Just like the Honor 5A which replaces the Honor 4A here in Malaysia, it looks like a new Honor 6X could be coming to replace the Honor 5X as it recently made an appearance at China's TENAA with a metal body, fingerprint sensor and dual rear cameras. Previously, the Honor 6X made an appearance at TENAA back in 2014 but when it arrived in Malaysia it was announced as the Honor 6 Plus.
