Hey there,
I just received my Huawei Honor 6X last week, and i am writing this to post my opinion on this device so you guys can get a good idea about the phone, as there is only scarce information about the hands on experience and functioning of the device.
I bough the Grey coloured 3GB32Gb variant, from UAE's online shipping jadopado. At 899AED~240USD~15000Rs
https://india.jadopado.com/product/JM00329911/huawei-honor-6x-dual-sim-64gb-4g-lte-smartphone
And this seller is by far the best seller i have ever come across. So helpful that he was 24/7 available through whatsapp, double checked my phone for me, even cleared my doubts on EMUI, and created videos to guide me through EMUI:highfive:
As you can see only the 4GB/64Gb variant is shown as available, contact the seller and they will guide you to buy the 3gb variant.
I really like the phone, its sleek aluminium-clad and really slippery. The UI has a learning curve, after that its alright.
Model Number: BLN-AL10.
Disclaimer: i have only used the phone for 2 days.. These are just my opinions..
Camera:
Talking about the camera, its good #decent, not superbtastic!! Main camera is 12mp+2mp, while the front camera is 8mp
It takes good to great pictures.. I have attached some pictures..
Pretty decent in medium low light.
Autofocus in video shooting isn't spot on.
The bokeh effect(dual camera) is good, but i dont think we'll use it often.
Performance
Performance is good, will be better in EMUI 5 i hope so..
Battery
The battery has been great so far, mainly due to huawei's excellent software which handles battery management. And there is ultra power saving mode.. I'm getting around 6 hours sot as of now, will have to use for a week or two to get the correct idea.
Call Quality
Call quality has been good so far.. Using BSNL and Jio..
And in Reliance Jio (india) i am facing network signal being lost and other issues, i think its mainly due to Jio's fault, as most of my other friends also has it..
LTE CAT 6 option for faster connectivity
It has VoLTE optionin settings, but still have problems in calling from stock dialer (JIO- India), it'll get fixed through an update i hope so.. I have emailed Huawei about this issue.
Fingerprint
Finger scanner is spot on.
Speaker
Speaker is loud, but its only a single down firing one. And while watching videos we can easily block the speakers accidentally when cupping the phone.
Display
Display is great, quality is good But the viewing angles are not that good, but its not at all noticeable..
Benchmarks: (3GB/32GB version)

I have added some more pictures, to get an idea about the image quality..
Its good.
Honor 6x User Here Too
Me as well, is satisfied with it. Requested it from a friend who bought it from China. I got the 4GB / 64GB variant on gold color.
For it's price, what more could you ask for? I love it's performance, camera, GPS.
the only downfall i can say is it's speaker. it's only coming out from the bottom right side. but no problem with headphones.
you say you're having problem with signal after restarting it. Though i don't have that kind of problem. I did not make any benchmark yet, maybe in the future.
this might be my phone for the next 2years. It will not be outdated.
heard there would be updates to Nougat on this model. hopeful! ^_^

Hi,
does anyone knows if the display scaling option (like the one that should be shipping by default with any nougat phone) is available on the s8?
I watched some videos digging into the settings and didn't had the chance to confirm it was there, any info?
By the way I'm talking about this feature: http://www.androidcentral.com/fit-more-your-galaxy-s7s-screen-condensed-mode
Best!
I got the phone so I can now answer to myself : YES!
Yes, there are three options: HD, FHD+ and QHD.
Edit: I just now see OP answered his own thread, so my reply is kinda redundant :silly:

In fact I was talking about the screen "content density", not the rendered resolution.
Not sure if I'm clear, so I try to say it this way: the option allowing to display more content on screen is present.

Guys I'm considering buying Honor 8 and I want to know how long you've been using this phone and have you experienced any lags/crashes/slow-downs on stock firmware during this time? Thanks!
Buy the Honor 8 Pro instead as you will get Oreo guaranteed. I have had the 8 for 13 months now and didn't like Nougat till B394 update due to the **** battery life. I stuck to MM till B394 where on heavy usage too I could easily get 5 hours of screen on time.
There hasn't been any noticeable slowdown or such. The phone still runs smoothly.

Thanks. Have you used Honor/Huawei phones before and how have they held up over time? I have a 5X that was slow and laggy on stock (EMUI 4 sucks) and didn't improve much even with custom roms (all Nougat roms become unusable after few weeks, CM13 is better but hangs randomly).
I bought this phone last December. I've taken every update and I have yet to be the least bit disappointed in this phone. It has been a fantastic device. I would but it again in a heartbeat for the right price.

Good to know! Are you on stock?
The Honor 8 has been great since I bought it in September 2016. the battery took a hit with 7.0 though. I feel its time to move on, but i can't find anything to replace it TBH. I've got a mate 10 Pro which is nice, but it doesn't feel like spending £700 will make THAT much of a different experience to the H8.
It is a really good device. From February the antutu benchmark has dropped a lot but the performance is exactly the same as always, no lags with max graphics on hard to run 3d games. Has held up pretty well.

Don't buy anything Huawei or honor phone because the are so bat at support and update , if I were you I would buy a OnePlus 3T or a galaxy s7/edge
or any other phone because they are cheaper and better than the honor 8 and and any Huawei/honor phones.

Cool! How long have you had the phone and are you taking any battery-saving measures?
Some Xperia X series phones come with a 120hz display panel this was first mentioned in the XZ Premium forum. Since theres less support for the XZ Premium forum I was wondering if anyone or any rom developers could look into enabling the feature on the XZ.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz-premium/how-to/120-hz-t3708597
Hmm. Interesting.maybe we can tag the kernel devs to take a look at this

I hope it gets looked into. I can't imagine why Sony would disable this feature. I wonder if it works as well as the Razer phone though. I don't own the XZ but I have the XZP but without root.

I feel that the mah of the battery shouldn't matter though. I mean the XZ premium has 3230mah which isn't much less than the Razer phone which has 4000mah also it has a 4k screen like the Z5 premium so surely that uses some battery. If battery is the reason then they could've at least done 90hz option. Also if people find the battery going down with the use of higher refresh rates then they should be allowed to toggle it off. The software always makes up for battery life. I get 6 hours + sot and I'm sure on the XZ it's pretty decent too.
120hz refresh rate is present and working with the latest slimbit aosp and March vendor files, at least on F8331. Just thought I'd let y'all know
Screen on Drain with 120hz, battery holds my work hours 8.30-17.00 without problem, can't really notice extensive change of battery drain, sorry for the doublepost, can't attach while editing on labs app

Is anybody else experiencing scrolling issues on their OnePlus 8 Pro?
I have noticed what feels like the touch input not being recognised so when scrolling up or down a page it just stops responding. At first I thought this was palm rejection related but it is not.
It is likely software but I am worried it could be hardware. Anybody else?
Yes, theres a few threads on here and in the OP community about it. No idea whether it's soft or hardware [emoji1745]
Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk
Sorry I did search on scrolling and got no results. I'll take a look. I purchased mine from Amazon so if there is any sense of it being hardware I'd probably return it while I still can.
Yes I have had this happen almost everyday I put to sleep and put back on.. loving the device for most part but that and then wifi calling not working ugh.
Ditto on the lack of response. Thought it was Palm rejection or even one of the Facebook chat bubbles overlaid on the screen while in chrome causing overlay issues.
Factory reset should fix

Are you on QHD or FHD, I switched to QHD and then back to FHD I had this issue. Rebooted whilst still on FHD and it's fine..
There is no benefit to be to use QHD, it's a 6" screen not 60"
Switch to FHD then reboot and test, should be fine.
Had this issue myself (chrome and youtube) Im using FHD only. Reboot fixed it tho

I'm getting this while using Opera browser and using certain apps, it gets really 'sticky' scrolling if I leave the app it's fine but then comes back.
Restart works for awhile, do guys suggest a factory reset?
@wilpang I'm experiencing similar behavior. I suspect the latest update of webview to have a negative impact on this behavior. It seems generally an issue with HTML5 apps but I may be mistaken.

You compare resolutions of devices as if you sit the same distance awayfrom a phone and a television. I guess you can do what you want but the higher resolution in phones is because you are much closer. So duh, anybody can tell a resolution difference when you're that close.

Wtf are you on about???? It's a six inch screen. You cannot tell the difference between FHD and QHD, don't talk crap by saying you can.
Even if it's marginaly sharper to the eye, it does not merit the loss in battery life.
There TV analogy has nothing to do with how far your are from it, you said that not me.
Jesus.
The current update for the One Plus 8 Pro's changelog has stated to improve the performance by apps dropping down from 120Hz to 75Hz. Is it true for everyone with the latest update? I think it should force stay at 120Hz for a overall excellent experience.
