If you have been following the Chinese smartphone market, you would know that things have changed a lot in the past few years. Earlier, Chinese phones were considered to be cheap, low quality products, but now manufacturers like Xiaomi and OPO have proved that even these phones are no less than the phones launched by international manufacturers like Samsung and Sony.

Today, we have plenty of options to choose from, all well built, feature packed and affordable at the same time. And with so many options for the consumers, we decided to take a look at the best Chinese smartphones that you can buy at the moment.

Believe me, you have so many good options, that you’ll have a hard time narrowing down the list to one.

So, without wasting any more of your precious time, we take a look a the best Chinese smartphones to buy in 2014.

NOTE: ( In case you are wondering, the list has no particular order)

MEIZU MX4 PRO

The Meizu MX4 which was released a few weeks back, clearly wasn’t enough for many users out there which meant the company had something better in store for them, the new MX4 Pro.

MX4 Pro comes with a 5.5 inch Sharp 2K display, thereby joining the premium class of smartphones that features resolutions above 2560×1536 pixels. This means the display will be extremely good, and we don’t think you’ll have anything to complain about in this category.

Meizu has incorporated a Samsung Exynos 5430 Octa Core CPU inside its new flagship along with Mali-T628 MP6 GPU and 3GB RAM. So, there’s no doubt that the MX4 Pro will be one of the best smartphones available to buy today.

There are three storage variants to choose from, namely 16GB / 32GB / 64GB. While the smallest storage version will save you a few hundred dollars, note that the device does not come with a MicroSD card slot, so if you like storing a lot of movies, apps and high res pictures on your device, make sure you get atleast the 32GB version.

Even the camera on the MX4 Pro is top of the class. It features a 20.7MP Sony IMX220, f/2.2 camera on the back , which should definitely give you one of the best images captured by an Android device. According to the company, their camera team worked closely with professional photographers to calibrate the rear camera on the device, so color reproduction too should be good.

Finally, coming to the software, you get the new Flyme 4.1 on top of Android 4.4.4 Kikat.

To sum up, Meizu MX4 Pro is truly a Pro version of the MX4 and is currently one of the best Android smartphones that you can get in the market. The device starts at $410 for 16GB, $440 for the 32GB and $510 for the 64GB. However, its still not available to purchase and we’ll update the article shortly once the retailers start accepting pre-orders which should be soon.

Check out our initial impression on the MX4 Pro here.

SUMMARY

Xiaomi Mi4

One of the most popular smartphones of 2014, Xiaomi Mi4 managed to exceed all expectations when it launched back in July this year.

The device comes with a beautiful design which some claim is inspired from Apple’s iPhone lineup. You get a 5 inch Full HD screen up front, with a solid metal frame and a glossy back cover.

Inside, you get Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 Soc with a 2.5GHz Quad Core Krait-400 processor. There’s 3GB RAM onboard along with Adreno 330 GPU which makes sure that the device is capable of heavy multi-tasking.

Mi4 runs on Xiaomi’s MIUI on top of Android 4.4 Kitkat. MIUI is considered as one of the best interfaces on Android currently in the market and has extensive support. The UI makes the most out of the Android platform and hence, MIUI would be a great replacement for your traditional stock Android look. You also get a 3080 mAh Li-ion battery on board which can be charged up to 60% within 30 minutes using Quick Charge 2.0

Finally, coming to the price, Xiaomi is known for its affordable and value for money devices, hence, its no surprise that the Xiaomi Mi4 retails for $399. Oppomart has currently listed the device with a $50 discount, so you can head over to the website to buy the device for just $349.

Check out our comparison of Mi4 with OnePlus One here.

SUMMARY

OnePlus One

Another Chinese smartphone which took the world by storm is the ‘One’ from the company called OnePlus. You may have never heard of their name before ‘One’ became popular, but that doesn’t matter as its flagship is currently regarded as one of the best smartphones of 2014.

OnePlus One (OPO) comes with a 5.5 inch Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixel display which translates into 401 pixels per inch. Just like the Mi4, it comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 801 Quad Core processor clocked at 2.5 Ghz. As for the memory, you have 3GB RAM and 16GB/ 64GB internal storage options. Unfortunately, there’s no MiroSD card slot on the device so you have to be careful while choosing the storage variant.

The 13MP rear camera produces some great pictures, and the 3,100 mAh battery makes sure that the device is up and running till the end of the day.

The phone is well designed and well built like a true flagship and is available in Silk White and Sandstone Black finishes.

OPO is available for just $349  which is a great price for a device with such specifications. Like the Mi4, its available on Oppomart for a discount of $50, so you can get it for just $349.

Meanwhile, to help you decide, we have a full review of the OnePlus One here.

SUMMARY

OPPO N3

OPPO N3 is not just a flagship smartphone, its a remarkable piece of technology. The company is quite famous in China for its well built devices and the latest flagship doesn’t disappoint at all. It comes with top of the line specifications with a beautiful and practical design.

On the front, there’s a 5.5 inch 1080p display, (we would have loved a 2K display given its expensive price tag) which means the screen is more or less like the other competitors available in the market.

Internals too are similar as it comes with a Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.5 Ghz and Adreno 330 GPU along with 2GB RAM.

However, you won’t buy this phone for its internals but for the various special features that it brings to the table. For example, OPPO N3 can charge from 0% to 75% in under 30 minutes, thanks to VOOC charging. This coupled with a large 3000 battery makes sure, you don’t have to carry around a charger wherever you go.

Secondly, it does have a MicroSD card slot, which is something that’s absent from many flagships available today.

Then there’s the interesting 16MP Omnivision rotating camera that acts as the rear as well as the front shooter. So, selfie addicts could definitely use this feature for beautiful shots.

Other features include a fingerprint sensor, O-Click 2.0 Bluetooth Remote and special software features that come with Color OS 2.0.

But you get these features at a price, as OPPO N3 is the second costliest flagship that we have covered in the list.

The device is available for pre-order for $654. That’s almost $200 more than the basic version of MX4 Pro and $300 more than both OPO and Mi4.

So why would you pay this much for a Chinese phone? Well, OPPO is a well established brand, now available in a number of international markets. Chinese consumers love OPPO which is why its not surprising to see that it received more than 2 million pre-orders in the first week itself.

SUMMARY

ZTE NUBIA Z7

The new Nubia Z7 is yet another costly flagship from a well known Chinese manufacturer. In fact, its the costliest phone that we have covered in this list.

For the $699 price tag, it does have some additional features as compared to the Oppo N3. For example, the 5.5 inch display up front features 2K resolution which means, the phone has a pixel density of over 538 PPI.

Moving on, it has an extra gig of RAM as compared to OPPO N3, but its the same as the 3GB RAM found on the earlier three flagships which were much cheaper than this.

It comes with the same processor as other competitors i.e. Snapdragon 801 with 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM. Camera too is of 13MP with OIS. There’s a 3,000 mAh battery on board which coupled with the power efficient processor should last an entire day.

Unfortunately, the device is not yet available for purchase and we’ll update the article as soon as it releases worldwide.

SUMMARY

HUAWEI HONOR 6

If you are looking for something cheap yet don’t want to settle for less than a flagship, Huawei Honor 6 is probably your best bet. The company is well known, operates in a number of international market and is known to release affordable and well built devices.

The latest Huawei Honor 6 brings all the standard features you would expect from a flagship device at a price that would only get you a mid range device, had it been an a well known international manufacturer like Samsung or Sony.

But this is Huawei we are talking about so you get an Octa Core HiSilicon Kirin processor clocked at 1.7 Ghz. You have 3GB RAM onboard along with 16/32GB internal storage option, which like the OPPO N3 can be expanded using an external MicroSD card slot.

There’s a 13MP rear camera sensor along with a 5MP front shooter, both capable of taking decent pictures.

Heating may be its biggest issue, but most smartphones these day heat up to some extent, hence we don’t feel this should stop you from buying the device.

Remember, this a 5.0 inch 1080p phone just like the Xiaomi Mi4, so if you don’t like phablets, this is a good option.

Huawei Honor 6 is currently available for a discounted price of just $339 on Oppomart instead of the regular $399 .

By the way, check out our full review of the Honor 6 here.

SUMMARY

LENOVO VIBE Z2 PRO

If you like large devices and by large we mean, even bigger than 5.5 inch phablets like OPO, then you’ll like Lenovo’s VIBE Z2 PRO flagship. It features a large 6 inch 2K screen with a pixel density of 490 PPI. That’s pretty impressive given that the phone is so large that some may even called it a tablet.

The device features a brushed aluminium unibody design which gives it a unique place in the market filled with plastic competitors.

This is yet another Snapdragon 801 device and comes with 3GB RAM onboard along with 32GB internal storage.

It features a 16MP 2K camera and has a large 4,000 mAh battery at the back. This should be more than enough for a day’s usage even with its large and vibrant 6 inch screen up front. Check out our full review of the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro here.

SUMMARY

IUNI U3

IUNI U3 is one of the best value for money devices that you can get at the moment. The device features a metal body with very thin bezels which makes it look like a premium device.

When it comes to specifications too, the U3 shines well ahead of other competitors. Unlike some of the devices we have mentioned here, like the OPO and Honor 6, U3 comes with a 5.5 inch 2K Quad HD display. This translates into an impressive pixel density of 538 PPI.

The processor is the almost as same as other models in the list i.e. Snapdragon 801 clocked at 2.3Ghz and 3GB RAM.

On the back, there’s a 13MP Sony Camera with f2.0 while on the front, you have a 4MP Ultra Pixel camera. Battery’s decent too and at 3,000 mAh, the device should easily last for an entire day.

IUNI U3 is one of the best looking devices in the market at present, which at $399 offers a great deal of features at an amazing pricetag.

Currently, the U3 is listed on Oppomart for $399 and is in stock. Check out the product page for more details. Also, check out our full review here.

SUMMARY

HUAWEI ASCEND MATE 7

If you don’t like Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro’s brushed metal finish, then you can go for the new Huawei Mate 7. Its the same size as the Vibe Z2 Pro, but features only 1080p resolution as opposed to 2K on Lenovo. However, still at 390 PPI, the screen is bright and vibrant and should display and images with great clarity.

Huawei went with its own Hisilicon Kirin 925 Octa Core CPU and Mali-T628 GPU. For memory, you have two options 2GB for the 16GB internal memory version and 3GB for the 32GB version. Interestingly, the device does have a MicroSD card which supports cards up to 128GB in size.

It comes with the same Sony Exmor EX214 13Mp rear camera as seen on most other flagships in the list along with a 5MP front camera. Huawei has also made sure that the 6 inch phablet lives for more than a day as it comes with the biggest battery pack in the list, a 4,100 mAh.

However, for the larger battery and the bigger screen, you have to pay around $100 extra than other competitors. You can purchase the device directly from Oppomart for $499.

SUMMARY

Vivo XShot

If you plan to replace your smartphone as your everyday camera, then the new Vivo XShot looks like a good option.

It comes with a 13MP f/1.8 aperture camera with OIS which takes great pictures. The dual tone dual LED flash also makes sure that the color reproduction is also accurate. The front camera too isn’t shabby and at 8MP you can get some great self portraits with it.

Inside, you have a Snapdragon 801 SoC with processor clocked at 2.5Ghz and 3GB RAM on the flagship version but only 2GB on the elite version.

On the front, you have a 5.2 inch screen with 1080p resolution. The battery pack is of 2,600 mAh which should be enough to last for a day with this relatively small screen.

Vivo Xshot starts at $499  for the elite version and will soon be available on Oppomart. Check out our full review of the phone here.

SUMMARY

OPPO Find 7

Although its been a while since OPPO announced the Find 7, its still one of the best devices in the market. The device comes with the OPPO brand name, which is of value especially in China due to its great build quality and innovative features. It also comes with the fast charging VOOC feature which can charge the phone 4 times faster than other competitors. With this technology, you get 75% charge from 0% in under 30 minutes.

The other specifications are pretty much what you expect from a top end device. You get a 5.5 inch 2K screen, a 2.5Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 Soc with 3GB RAM, Sony Exmor214 13MP rear camera and 3,000 mAh battery which is removable.

So, if you are looking for a well built device from the OPPO family, the Find 7 will suit you well.

The device is listed on Oppomart at a discount of $30 at $569.

SUMMARY

ZOPO 3X

We have seen 11 top chinese phones of 2014 till now and we would like to end it with the cheapest device of the list, the ZOPO 3X. Its the mini version of the flagship, ZOPO ZP999, but don’t be deceived by the name as only the internal storage is smaller and all the rest of the goodies found on the top end flagship makes it to this device.

Surprisingly, it is the first Mediatek Powered handset that is on the list as most others have the Snapdragon 801 SoC onboard. It comes with a  MediaTek MT6595 octa-core processor clocked at 2.2Ghz along with 3GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. The phone has a memory card slot too, so the low inbuilt storage won’t be a big issue.

On the front, you get a 5.5 inch Full HD screen while on the back lies a 14MP f/2.0 aperture camera. You have a large 2,700 mAh battery too, which should be more than enough for a whole day’s usage.

The best thing about the ZOPO 3X is its pricetag. It is currently available for $299 on Oppomart which is a great price for a device with such specifications. You also get some free goodies like the official leather case and screen protector, which should save you some after purchase cost.

So, if you are looking for a cheap flagship with great specifications, you should consider buying the ZOPO 3X. Check out our full review of the device to get more details.

From left to right: The Huawei Honor 6,  Mate 7, and Honor 6 Extreme Edition

       Here we have three cellphones from Huawei: the Huawei Honor 6, Huawei Mate 7, and the Huawei Honor 6 Extreme Edition. These three phones were just launched this year and are all aimed at the high-end market. Their processors are from Huawei’s own Kirin series: Kirin 920, Kirin 925, Kirin 928 respectively. How do they compare to each other? Let’s find out.

First, let’s start by describing the differences between their processors.

Kirin 920: It’s built on the the octa-core big.LITTLE GTS (Global Task Scheduling). It integrates four 1.7GHz ARM Cortex-A15 processors and four 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 processors into one using 28nm technology. It also boasts an I3 smart sensor processor that can lower power consumption, and let’s features like a gyroscope and accelerator run even when the phone is on standby. The Kirin 920 also comes with Huawei’s LTE Advanced communication module which supports the LTE Cat6 standard as well as TD-LTE, LTE-FDD, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, GSM, etc. Its GPU is the ARM Mali T628MP4 which supports H.265 and 4K videos.

Kirin 925: This is not that much of an upgrade from the Kirin 920, except that its frequency has increased to 1.8Ghz. Also, some smaller improvements were made such as adding the TrustZone which can protect the chip for the fingerprint scanner.

Kirin 928: The frequency has been upgraded to 2.0GHz.

Huawei Honor 6 benchmark

        Above are the Antutu and Vellamo benchmark scores for the Huawei Honor 6. It received a 38101 in the Antutu benchmark test which is pretty high.

Huawei Mate 7      

       These are the benchmark scores for the Huawei Mate 7. It received a 42804 score in the Antutu test. Although the Kirin 925 isn’t the strongest of the three processors, this phone still has powerful specs, so it is no surprise that it has a high score.

Honor 6 Extreme Edition 

Here are the scores for the Huawei Honor 6 Extreme Edition. It scored 42576 in the Antutu test.

Analysis 

       Why does the Kirin Mate 7 have a higher score than the Huawei Honor 6 Supreme Edition even though it uses the Kirin 925? First, because as a series, the difference between the two of them is not that great. Second, the Huawei Mate 7 is a high-end product, so it should definitely have the edge in other parameters.

Huawei Honor 6 headphone  was release along with Huawei Honor 6. It’s priced at RMB99（$16） but Huawei s claimed it sound better than a number of other popular brand name IEMs that cost 4x-5x that much. However, the package that designed liked a space capsul really make me feel it is as unusual as the Honor 6 itself this time.

The headphone was Wrapped With  a whole piece of gel in the “Space Capsul” box.

The Headphone Cable is in professional braided structure, able to shield the extra interference to radio frequency. It was made of 25 pcs of high purity oxygen free copper wire, with a layer of half- euphoric and high elastic anti-winding wires covered outside.

Today, at 10:08, Huawei has open for sale of Huawei Honor 6 smartphone in Jingdong Mall, Mall Sync.  The pre-order is open and the phone is sold out very fast.

The official said that the first batch of Huawei Honor 6 is preparing for 150,000 units, but all those smartphone is sold out for only six minutes, the second batch will be open on July 8th, while for now Huawei may need more stock for the Huawei Honor 6 smartphone.

As we mentioned on our recent article, the Huawei Honor 6 is packs with 5 inch screen size eith fully support 1080p resolution display, the phone is also powered by Kirin 920 processor this is the new octa core processor that come from Huawei that consist four 1.7GHz of the A7 chipset and four  1.3GHz A15 chipset, support for heterogeneous multi-processing technology / LTE Cat6 standard. The phone is also sports with 3GB of RAM, powereing up by 3100mAh battery capacity, coupled with 5 megapixel front facing camera and 13 megapixel main camera.

In addition, China Unicom 4G dual sim card version only supports GSM, while FDD-LTE is off by default.

Equipped with low and high Honor 6 What is the difference? Simply put, the difference is that the storage space is low version with 16GB (not supported NFC), which is high version with 32GB (supports NFC), priced at 1,999 yuan and 2,299 yuan or about $322 USD and $370 USD price tag

The post 150,000 units of Huawei Honor 6 Sold Out In 6 minutes appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Huawei Honor 6 is out in July and is close in spec to the OnePlus One. These two flagship phones are about to go head to head and it will be interesting to see how the Huawei fares against the Flagship Killer. The smartphones themselves are pretty closely matched, it is most likely the design of the devices and the ease of purchase that could win the competition for either company. Huawei is a giant in the field and OnePlus is trying to spoil the party, but at the moment it is busy enough trying not to spoil its own.

There aren’t many differences in spec between the phones. The Huawei has an octa-core processor, HiSilicon Kirin 920 chipset, whereas the OnePlus One has a quad-core, Qualcomm MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801, giving the Huawei the edge as regards CPU power. The internal memory differs slightly too, although both have 3GB RAM the two versions of the Honor 6 available have 16 or 32 GB whereas the OnePlus is available in 16 or 64 GB. Notably however, the Huawei is the only one that supports MicroSD so that the memory can be expanded. Another difference is the 4G bandwidth frequency, with the OnePlus One having the broadest coverage, important for those who use their phones regularly outside of wi-fi coverage. The phones share camera specifications, both having a 13MP rear camera and a 5 MP front shooter. The display is almost identical, with both devices having IPS LCD screens at 1080 x 1920, although the screen is smaller on the Honor 6 so the pixel ratio is 445 compared with the OnePlus One’s 401, and the OnePlus is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass whereas the Honor 6 is not. The battery power is identical also, with both handsets having a 3100mAh battery.

For many, the main difference is all about the style of the smartphones. The Honor 6 is smaller and reasonably good-looking but it is the OnePlus that is the superstar here. It is bigger and better-built and very well designed, and most importantly it is the one all the hype has been about. Public opinion has been almost unanimous as to the performance and design of the OnePlus, and while people have been very interested to see the Honor 6, it is certainly considered unfavourably in terms of looks and design.

The practicality is another huge difference. At the moment, OnePlus can’t actually get you a OnePlus One (although it is available at Oppomart), and where more people may well consider this to be the best option for them, will the patience wear thin while waiting? It is Huawei’s size as a company here that gives it the capability to meet demand even if the company being more mainstream and already established costs them some cool credentials. The OnePlus One is struggling because it has been made by a startup, and the production problems have come about because of the need for caution when establishing a new product in such a hugely competitive area. OnePlus are certainly guilty of massively underestimating demand and this may prove crucial to their success here, if they take too much longer to get the phone to the people who want to buy it they will lose the faith of their loyal supporters and sales are bound to suffer as a result.

Huawei Hisilicon Kirin 920 chipset Introduction – qualitative improvement

The phone is equipped with Huawei Hisilicon Kirin 920 chipset, this is the new processor that developed by Huawei and the processor is strong enough, since the processor has powerful performance. In architecture, Kirin 920 uses four A15 and A7 core big.LITTLE architecture, while supporting HMP (Heterogeneous Multi-Processing) technology, you can dynamically control the different core collaborate, while quad-core and quad-core Cortex-A15 Cortex-A7 can work together.

Kirin 920 uses nice GPU aspect since integrates the ARM Mali-T628MP4 chipset , running on 600MHz, this is more powerfull than the  previous model Mali-450MP4 Kirin 910, the performance of Mali-T628MP4 has been greatly improved, support for up to 2560 x 1600 resolution display in the game Compatibility also has a large optimization. In addition, as always, in terms of powerful video decoding, support for ultra-high-definition audio codec also supports H.265, 4K ultra high-definition full HD video decoding.

If Huawei Kirin 920 more advantages compared to competing products in what respect, then obviously the baseband integration is strong, integrate Huawei’s LTE Advanced communications module, integrated chip is already high, it can support both TD-LTE / LTE FDD / TD-SCDMA / WCDMA / GSM five kinds of formats, and can run at very low power consumption, and is the world’s first to support LTE Cat6 standard (high pass 805 products not yet available), the maximum downlink speed of 300Mbps . Huawei engineers spoke Huawei Kirin 920 in addition to the use of advanced big.LITTLE architecture, 28mm HPM foreign advanced technology, it is for the CPU, GPU, DDR, ISP, Display, more than 10 modules to do a detailed design and power consumption simulation, while the built-in professional audio processors Tensilica HIFI3.

We need to note that the sensor is now more and more mobile devices, so many mainstream chips are integrated auxiliary processor to achieve a low-power management of various types of sensors, in Kirin920 body is no exception. Under co-processor built-in ultra low-power standby state monitoring of peripheral sensors. Meanwhile, in order to reduce the power consumption of the chip, which also implements that do not stop (auto-stop) power saving technology.

Processing performance CPU / GPU compared to the previous generation did leap, 2-4 times can improve performance, but we can not ignore to improve memory performance, which also has a great influence on the processing speed of the machine. Glory 6 built- 3GB of memory to run big. Clocked at 800MHz LPDDR3, memory bandwidth by 1.8 times, while the secondary cache L2 also upgraded twice, which for the performance of the machine has been a great help.

Compare competing products

In terms of performance specifications, Hisilicon Kirin 920 has enough clout to challenge the rival, faced with Qualcomm, MediaTek, Samsung and other top chipset maker, Hisilicon Kirin 920 has a decent CPU performance, while mainstream GPU also catch levels, able to promote mainstream stage 1080p display, while the base support networks with Qualcomm also has capital one ratio.

Specification Comparison

Huawei 4G baseband integration is not inferior to Qualcomm, before Kirin 910T series has good support for 4G LTE networks. The Kirin 920 more able to support LTE Cat 6 standard, and has the ability to support global band. It also supports SGLTE / CSFB and VoLTE voice calls such as 4G networl.

While running points may not represent actual performance, but as a reference anyway. Then take a look at the performance of Hisilicon Kirin 920 runs.

CPU chip comparison

As we can see in CPU-Z, Kirin 920 has eight core big.LITTLE architecture, which are the 4 core of ​​A15 and 4 core A7, the former clocked at 1.3GHz, while the latter is 1.7GHz, relying HMP (Heterogeneous Multi-Processing) technology eight cores can work simultaneously. As contrast Kirin 910T chip, which will still be four A9 core architecture, performance is relatively weak, with GPU performance aspects behind.

The Benchmark Test

Here is the benchmark results from basic safety point of view, the Honor 6 equipped with Kirin 920 chip, sports with 3GB of memory, the strong overall performance. And the phone is get more 40,000 points, this is quite amazing. Comparing with Huawei Hisilicon K3V2 chip configuration, that only get about 26,000 points, belonging to the end of the level.

Kirin 920 run points

 
Hass K3V2 score

The Huawei Honor 6 has significantly enhance the processing of CPU performance, GPU performance upgrade is worth attention. We also tested the machine using 3DMARK, BASEMARK graphics test software, which seemed at ease. As a result of ARM’s GPU chip, so the game can be guaranteed compatibility. Therefore, the hardware configuration is already in the mainstream top level performance, the Honor 6 is potential to beat Samsung, Qualcomm and other commercially flagship chipset configuration.

Although the chip has just launched Huawei Hass not has compatibility problems, Hass Kirin 910 and 910T is not has compatibility issues. Huawei 6 equipped with Kirin 920 actual test, most games, especially is popular game running smoothly. And decoding audio and video playback chip has natural strengths, Hass has been tested to encondig the multimedia files including mp4, wmv, rmvb, mpg, mov, mkv, flv, avi, 3gp and many other video formats, can be successfully decoded, 720P and 1080P can smooth playback.

4G Networks: The first smartphone to support LTE Cat6

Huawei Hisilicon Kirin 920 incorporates Huawei’s LTE Advanced communications module, the world’s first to support LTE Cat6 standard, Cat6 and Cat4 LTE network protocols are different categories, such as Qualcomm 800 series is Cat4 standards. Generally supported the theoretical maximum speed Internet access while the Cat4 can reach 150Mbps, and the Cat6 support theoretical Internet speeds of up to 300Mbps, FDD scenes peak data transfer rate of up to 300Mbps, the theoretical speed 3G (21M) 14 times, 4G ( Cat4) 2 times. Fengyun SoC also supports TD-LTE/LTE FDD / TD-SCDMA / WCDMA / GSM network standard five, as well as all major global bands, enabling seamless roaming in more than 100 countries worldwide.

Huawei Honro 6 has higher than any other phone which uses 3dB antenna reception, the equivalent of doubling the user signal strength, in the case of poor network coverage calls and Internet environment to ensure smooth. Huawei Honor 6 conducted a comprehensive laboratory existing network environment, the use of independent chip – RF circuit – antenna integrated solution, adjusted to the optimum overall communication performance.

In the TD-LTE network, Honor 6 get the maximum downlink speeds approaching to 60Mbps, the maximum downlink speeds of around 5Mbps. We intuitively see that the actual download files, Huawei 6 is works with 4G network in China Unicom, the download speeds in excess of 6MB / s, this rate has been far beyond the speed of 3G network, we can see that sooner or later the 4G networks will replace the 3G network and 4G connectivity will become standard in the future.

Dual-band WiFi + free hotspots nationwide

Huawei Honor 6 has 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band WiFi support, includes a complete 802.11a/b/g/n wireless network, which belongs to the fifth generation of Wi-Fi transmission technology (5G Wi-Fi). Advantages of dual-band Wifi devices that have a stronger and more stable Wifi wireless signal, faster transfer speeds, and allows wireless devices more energy to meet future wireless transmission of high definition and big data requirements.

Another surprise is that the Honor 6 users will enjoy of free WiFi service throughout the country since we have more than 6.5 million WiFi hotspots. 10 million hours long free WiFi, no need the password for a key access, the WiFi is free. This feature means , as long as you are in the vicinity of the Honor of free hotspots, is a key to connect to the free WiFi, the user is really a very attractive feature.

Guangzhou urban area, for example, in large shopping malls and crowded places, such as Grandview Plaza, Beijing Road Pedestrian Street and other places, it is easy to search for the free hotspots. Meanwhile, the functional description of “the WLAN service is based on China Mobile, China Telecom, ease of use,” so users can be assured of their safety. Just around the hot spots, Honor 6 will notify you if the free WiFi is available, just click a connect button, it will automatically connect to the network.

The connection process is only takes a few seconds, while applying the WiFi icon will tell you when ww got the great strength, as well as free WiFi signals long.

Life saving: High Density Battery

In the present mobile phone battery technology has not yet made the leap of progress, the mobile phone manufacturers in general practice can only continue to increase battery capacity. And the Honor  6 in addition to increasing the battery capacity, but also open up the path to increase the energy density of the battery choice. Honor 6 using large capacity battery that has 3100mAh lithium polymer battery, the energy density of up to 590Wh / L, has now the highest level in the sale of cell phones. In addition, the smart system of Honor 6 hardware and software integration electric power saving technology, the use of five power-down program, 30% less power than other systems.

Honor  6 system offers specialized power-saving management, performance mode, intelligent power-saving (default), super power and other scenarios, in addition to providing comprehensive power consumption testing, a key detection to tell you what the power consumption in the background, and how you can set up more power, very intimate.

Another special mention of the Honor 6 is the super power-saving mode, after opening this mode, the interface will automatically switch deep tones, and retain only the basic functions such as calls and text messages, turn off the network, turn off all the remaining applications. By this extreme power saving mode, tested remaining 10% power, the Honor 6 smartphone can stand more than 24 hours.

Honor 6 has a large capacity and high energy density batteries, lower power consumption in the phone’s battery life.

System: continuous improvement Emotion 2.3

Honor 6 is continue to use the Emotion UI version 2.3. This is different from the recent rumors that syas tthe phone will uses Emotion UI v3.0. This version is a relatively mature version.

The lock-screen is look good, while the animation is more complex but this interface is nice and very smooth for your daily activity. Pull down the slide from the top status bar, slide the bottom can be opened from the shortcut bar. The default choice of the theme “glare (magazine lock screen)”, light up the screen lock screen wallpaper will change every time, pull the bottom action bar can be suspended automatically switch, switch to the next or the collection of the current picture, and so on.Several of the most commonly used shortcut should be the flashlight, after all, quickly open the flashlight in the dark is more a sense of security.

The Honor 6 themes is look good and cool. The user can download the new themes and the Huawei is also always up to date with the current issue and moments, so when we are in the middle of World Cup event, there is a lots of themes that uses keyword “2014 World Cup” theme. Also supports custom settings, you can replace wallpaper, fonts, etc. by yourself, with the common theme of all systems is not much difference.

The Huawei Honor 6 is still using the Android core for the based operating system, so most user can uses this phone with more intuitrive and very user friendly interface.

The status bar is divided into two parts, the left side of the main display notifications and partial information, the right is a variety of fast switching. You can slide left and right to switch between each other, relatively smoothly. It is worth mentioning that after the top left of the screen from the drop-down status bar will show a limited notification bar, pull down from the top right of the screen directly into the quick switch bar, familiar with this little trick is very easy to use.

All settings are divided into common settings and set two columns, based on common settings Huawei domestic users accustomed department points out common features, of course, which is also Huawei’s “special” function.

Do Not Disturb mode is very common here without tables. The phone prompts which said only after the effects of open and did not illustrate the principle. In fact, this is technically the screen resolution from 1080p (1920×1080) think down to 720p (1280×720), which can effectively reduce the CPU computational burden, not only to speed up the phone run faster, but also can effectively increase endurance, in the small screen on, 1080p down to 720p resolution after resolution, the screen will not have a significant grainy, small measured effectively.

Emotion supports dual card management, the Honor 6 is comes with two SIM card slots, supports dual SIM dual standby. Also support for customize boot management, the user can change the boot animation screen without root the system.

You can show or hide the softbutton below the screen, since the softbutton is appear in the screen rather than in physically under the screen.

The phone is also support for DTS sound technology.

The application comes with a special market, free flow area is within the area by application developers, telecommunications operators and handset manufacturer.

 
Magnifying mirror

Built-in mirror function is actually very simple, just use the front camera to see our face, but which joined Huawei in the application of some of the more handy tools, more interesting. In addition, there is also a “magnifying glass” feature, this is the capability of macro mode lens in the phone.

 
Driving mode browser

Driver Mode is the Huawei efforts for make the user safety, so you can use the phone while driving but this is not recommended.

ITES 2.0 – Universal remote control center

Smart Remote is the new feature that comes to Honor 6, the principle is the use of infrared transmitter to the top of the fuselage remote control device, the Honor 6 has built-in independent infrared remote control chipset, the world’s leading supplier of pre-infrared code library without downloading. You can uses this phone to remote your TV, DVD Player, Music Player, AC, and other home appliance.

You can setting up the new device when you didn’t find the remote system in the database, so you have to align the infrared with other infra red port in the real remote control, the you have to press the button on the real remote control before press the button on the phone.

Camera features: first pictures after joining Focus

Huawei 6 is equipped with  13 megapixels rear camera, this camera is uses Sony stacked fourth-generation BSI camera with F2.0 large aperture and 5P aspherical lens, greatly enhance the amount of light, and is equipped with dual LED flash. Another independent research and development of Huawei’s Professional image processing engine fully upgraded, lead to higher quality performance and low-light shooting capabilities. The Honor  6 has 5 megapixels camera, with large viewing angle 88 degrees, more panoramic view and you can take the good quality self picture.

The Honor 6 has very rich options for camera mode, such as smart scene, HDR, Burst preferred function is quite useful and easier to get good pictures under different scenarios.

Here we look at the “full focus camera” function, which is to take pictures after the focus is how to achieve. Choose whole-focus function when taking picture.

Flowers above, we will focus on the background behind the scheduled close naturally become blurred. If the focus will be on the back of the building, then the flowers become blurred. So full focus camera lets you take pictures of the case earlier, and then manually adjust the late, very playable and practicality.

The largest indoor pictures under the feeling is quite good white balance control, room light did not appear the phenomenon of color cast. Thanks to the large aperture lens and Sony stacks, better preserved sample details, picture noise control is also satisfactory.

Huawei Honor 6 is the new member from the Huawei honor series smartphone, not only is the first mobile phone equipped with Hisilicon Kirin 920, is the world’s first mobile phone to support LTE Cat6 standard. Honor 6 is the new high-end flagship smartphone that comes from Huawei company. This is phone has good quaity camera for photography enthusiast.

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.
