Huawei launches Honor 6 smartphone and Honor T1 tab in India

NEW DELHI — Chinese handset giant, Huawei has announced the launch of four new devices for India, including two smartphones – Honor 6 and Honor Holly, and two tablets – Honor X1 and Honor T1, for the Indian market.

All the four devices will be available exclusively via Flipkart. At present, Huawei has revealed the price of Honor 6 (Rs 19,999) and Honor T1 (Rs 9,999) only.

Huawei Honor 6

Huawei Honor 6 comes with a 5-inch IPS display, sporting full HD resolution. Huawei has again managed to keep the form factor to the minimal; the Honor 6 measures 139.6 x 69.7 x 7.5 mm and weighs just 130 grams.

The Honor 6 has the latest Android 4.4.2 Android operating system but it uses the Huawei Emotion 2.3 UI which has a completely different look than the native Android UI. It has the HiSilicon Kirin 920 chipset that comprises an octa-core processor, Mali T628 MP6 GPU and 3 GB RAM – powerful enough to run high-end games as well as for multitasking.

The phone comes in 16 and 32 GB storage versions and has a micro SD card slot that can accommodate a 64 GB card. There is a 13-megapixel auto-focus camera and two LED flashlights in the rear panel of the Honor 6 while a 5-megapixel camera is in its front.

The Honor 6 has two SIM slots and is compatible with a 4G network but at this point in time, it is not known whether it would be compatible with India’s LTE network or not. Other than that, the Honor 6 has Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP, WiFi with Hotspot feature, DLNA, and a micro USB 2.0 port. It has a 3100 mAh Li-Po battery.

Despite such high-end features, Huawei has shrewdly priced it at just Rs 19,999.

Huawei Media Pad Honor T1

This 7.9 mm thick tablet weighs 360 grams and comes with an 8-inch HD IPS display that is said to have a 160-degree viewing angle. The Honor T1 boasts a 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 200 quad-core processor, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB ROM, and a 32 GB micro SD card slot. This Android 4.3-based tablet also has Emotion UI as other Huawei devices.

Besides, the Honor T1 has a 5-megapixel rear camera, a VGA front camera, 3G connectivity with voice calling, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS/A-GPS, and a 4800 mAh battery.

Huawei Honor Holly and Honor X1

Both these devices are not available in the market right now. The Honor Holly comes with a 5-inch IPS display with qHD resolution, 16 GB internal memory, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel front camera, a 2000 mAh battery, 1 GB RAM, and a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor.

The Honor X1 has a 7-inch full HD display and a huge 5000 mAh battery. This 239-gram weighing tablet has a 1.6 GHz quad-core processor and a 13-megapixel rear camera. More information about these devices is still awaited.
