The new Huawei Honor 6 is imminent. It remains to be seen what the actual capabilities of this high-end smartphone will be but there are rumours of something special. There’s a press event scheduled to be held at Beijing’s Olympic Stadium on June 24th which should fill in the information gaps, but until then we have just speculation. Speculation about what may be the fastest smartphone ever made.
Huawei have given us some facts; the Honor 6 has the octa-core Kirin 920 CPU and 3GB RAM. The screen is said to be a 4.9 inch Full HD resolution and there will be a 13 megapixel camera capable of shooting 4k video. There will be an Android OS too. These are impressive specifications but they are not the full story. It is the Antutu score that has the rumour mill working overtime, and the story has been running for a long time. There was, some time ago, a Huawei benchmark score of almost 38000 discovered by Android users, this is a better result than the Galaxy S5, Xiaomi Mi 3 and the HTC One (M8). It is hard to know for sure due to the contestable accuracy of Huawei’s previous benchmark results, with them not matching up in practice to the official figures reported. While there are no official statistics yet, and the hope is for accuate ones, there is a rising optimism that the Huawei Honor 6 may be the smartphone equivalent of lightning.
There are no official availability and pricing information as yet but there will be much more to report after June 24th, we’ll keep you posted.

It’s the battle of the processors. On one side we have Huawei’s own octa-core Kirin 920. On the other side we have Qualcomm’s quad-core Snapdragon 805. Who will emerge victorious?
The Kirin 920 was made using 28nm architecture and uses the big.Little framework. It consists of four Cortex-A15 (1-2.5GHz) cores and four Cortex-A7 (1.2-1.6 GHz) cores, both being very powerful cores. Its GPU is the Mali-T628, ARM’s newest GPU, which can support a display resolution of 2560 x 1600. Its frequency band is the BalongV7R2 which supports LTE Cat 6 (the Kirin 910’s built-in Balong V7R1 is Cat 4). It’s the first band to be integrated with the Cat 6. It also supports roaming, SGLTE/CSFB and 4G voice messaging programs like VoLTE.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 805 is a 64-bit processor with each core having a main frequency of 2.7GHz. Its GPU is the Adren 420. It also supports high-resolution display screens. It uses the Gobi 9×35 modem and, like the Kirin 920, supports Cat 6. At most, it can run on 300mbps. It also supports Blue Ray 4.1, GPS and other features.
Samsung’ will release an LTE-A version of the Galaxy S5 with the Snapdragon 805 while Huawei’s Honor 6 will use the Kirin 920. Which one do you think will be better?
A few days ago, photos of what was supposed to be the Huawei Honor 6 were leaked on the internet, but there wasn’t anything notable about its design, and many were let down. But yesterday, someone leaked the design draft of the Honor 6 on his Weibo account. The phone pictured in this photo looks very different from the one that appeared in the photos a few days ago.
On the evening of June 19, Weibo user @挨踢超人leaked a photo of the design draft of the Honor 6. The phone in the sketch has a very simple design similar to Apple’s iPhone. It looks like the back is covered with glass. The camera is located on the left side. It also seems to have a 5-inch display screen.

When Qualcomm released the 64-bit Snapdragon 410 chipset last year, they were targeting the mid-end smart phone market. Now, the first smart phone that will use this chip has already gone through the Antutu benchmark tests. This phone is Huawei’s G621-TL00. According to the tests, it has a 5-inch 720p touch screen, 1GB RAM, and a 5mp camera. It will head towards the terminal market.
Will use a 64-bit processor
According to the results of the Antutu benchmark, the most important details about the Snapdragon 410 are that it uses Qualcomm’s 64-bit A53 architecture, its model name is MSM8916, it is integrated with the Adreno 306 GPU, and it has a main frequency of 1.2GHz.
However, even though the MSM8916 is 64-bit, it will still be used in a 32-bit environment, and therefore, will not be used to its full potential.
5-inch touch screen
The phone’s hardware is not exactly that spectacular. Theoretically, the Snapdragon 410 is supposed to support 4GB RAM, but this phone’s RAM is only 1GB with 8GB internal storage and supports expandable memory card. It also has a 2mp front-facing camera and 5mp rear-facing camera.
The Huawei G621-TL00 is also equipped with a 5-inch 720p touch screen but supports TD-LTE internet. Considering when the Snapdragon 410 will be shipped, this phone is expected to hit scores later this year.

The Slim Note I9T’s sleek and slim design is one of its biggest selling points. It uses a 5.7-inch 1080p display screen. Its measurements are 158.1 x 78.5 x 7.9mm.
The Slim Note I9T has an HD 5mP/13mP camera (BSI, f/2.0 aperture). It also allows the user to take and edit photos by voice activation among other features.
As for its main components, other than the 5.7-inch HD screen, it also uses the MT6592 octa-core processor with a main frequency of 1.7GHz, and has 2G+16GB RAM. It is powered by a 2250mha battery and its operating system is the Color OS, customized for the I9T. It supports other functions like OTG and a gyroscope and TD+GSM dual-SIM (small card) as well.

Photos and information on the phone were leaked to the internet a few days ago.
As the photo above shows, this mysterious device is has two colors and its design is similar to the H1’s. However, unlike the H1 where the micro USB port is located at the bottom of the phone between the front and back (see the photo below), in the new phone, the microphone and USB port will be located at the front side.
There has not been any confirmation on what the phone in the first picture actually is but it’s most likely the Nibiru H1C. According to the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the H1C will use a 5-inch display screen, have 2GB RAM, run on the Android 4.2 operating system, and its design will be similar to the H1’s.

From the model number, we know that the S500 will not be as advanced as Malata’s other new phone, the Sage S510, but its features are still pretty standard. It has a 5-inch HD screen, a 2mP/8mP camera, and 1GB + 16GB memory. It also uses a 2250mha battery and its operating system is the Android 4.2. Its features are more comprehensive.

According to official reports, the Malata S500 uses the MTK6582 quad-core chip. Surprisingly, the ad they released shows that it will support 4G internet. It will probably use the MT6582 LTE Edition.
If it’s true, then the Malata S500 will join the ranks of DOOV and ALCATEL as LTE phones that will use quad-core MTK chipsets.
