The Huawei Honor 6X will launch on 18 October in China at an expected retail price of Rs 12,999

Huawei has confirmed that they will launch the Honor 6X smartphone in China this month. **The phone was spotted** on Chinese telecom equipment certification site TENAA last month, giving us an idea of its hardware configuration. The TENAA listing indicates a device with a 5.5-inch Full HD display, a Snapdragon 625, 2-3GB RAM depending on variant and 32GB of storage. A finger print scanner is placed on the back, a USB Type-C port at the bottom and dual-SIM support is present. The phone is also rumoured to be carrying a dual-camera setup at the rear which outputs 13MP photos. The front camera is expected to be a 5MP unit, reports Android Authority. Huawei has experimented with dual-camera phones in the past, particularly since their partnership with Germany’s Leica Camera. Unlike the iPhone 7 Plus’ dual-camera setup, the camera setup Huawei uses features a monochrome camera and a colour camera. The final image is a combination of the images from the two sensors. The Huawei P9 uses such a dual-camera setup, developed with Leica, as does the Honor 8, but the Honor 8’s unit doesn’t have the Leica branding. The same should be the case with the Honor 6X as well. Android Authority points out that the 6X is a replacement for Honor 5X and concludes that the new phone should retail at the same price in India. The Honor 5X currently sells for Rs 12,999 in India. There is no word on an India release date for the phone yet, however.
