Honor 6 Plus deals and reviews

For the money, Honor is giving you a load of bang for your buck, and it bodes well for future releases from a brand that will hopefully grow to become a major player in the UK.

The Honor 6+ from Huawei's subsidiary is a successful smartphone, which does have a good camera, but the high-contrast display and the great battery runtimes are even more convincing.

The Honor 6 Plus is a good solid package and whilst it's not going to be able to hold its own in cutting edge specifications against the latest flagships from the big 3 or 4 OEMs, it does have something to offer that's different; its optics, and its deep UI, and deploys them both reasonably well. Therefore the Honor 6 Plus should be in the reckoning for anyone looking for a new, larger, device, especially on a budget.

Neowin | Nirave Gondhia

The Honor 6 set a trend for Honor devices by offering incredible value for money and the Honor 6 Plus does just this. The handset comes with three-years warranty in Western Europe and the overall package is simply outstanding. The software may be a bit hit-and-miss but the internals, battery life and camera are all fantastic. Simply put, the Honor 6 Plus is the best phone you've probably never heard of.

Despite its elegance in design and in software, the Honor 6 Plus doesn't deliver enough in its dual camera setup to separate itself from similarly performing competitors.

TechRadar | Max Parker

Honor's 6 Plus packs a great screen, solid build and a snapper that mostly get the job done. If the UI was up to scratch and Lollipop was around to complete the package, this could be one of the best mid-range smartphones around.

Digital Versus | Remi Jacquet

The Honor 6 Plus is that brand of smartphone that's good, but a little off-kilter. It's being billed as an illustrious camera phone, yet the camera isn't one of its strong points (if not for that, we would have given it five stars). Fortunately, everything else about it rocks, starting with its superb screen and speedy interface. It's sort of like an excellent ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML), only cheaper and higher in performance-though with a more divisive design.

The Honor 6 Plus isn't perfect, but you'll struggle to find a phablet at this price with such good build quality, battery life, screen and performance. Plus its second SIM slot is an unexpected bonus. It's very good value.

Trusted Reviews | Jon Devo

If you want a high-performance phone in a slick and tough frame, the Honor 6 Plus is one of the best buys we could recommend right now. This is a phone for people who are tired of the usual suspects and want a phone that stands out without needing an uber-expensive curved display.

We had a lot of fun using the Honor 6 Plus and peg it to be one of the better Android phones we've reviewed in the recent past. The exceptional performance of its dual rear cameras is an added advantage since not many Android phones in the same price range can achieve that.

CNET UK | Andrew Hoyle

With its good screen, strong processor and solid camera, the Honor 6 Plus is well-equipped for most all the social-networking fun you could want and doesn't ask for much cash in return. It's a shame about its clunky, outdated software, though, which does somewhat take the shine off.

SlashGear | Chris Burns

Is the dual-focus system enough to provide a stand-out experience? Not really. If we're deciding between this smartphone and similar high-end devices from HTC, Samsung, LG, and Sony, the Honor 6 Plus wouldn't be first on the list - or second.

What Hi-Fi?

Video quality is impressive, and the Full HD screen is sharp and colours are vivid. When it comes to sound, we're disappointed. But the Honor is one step down, overstepping the mark into brash territory. By all means, you should check it out for its laundry list of features – but not for audiovisual talent.
