Honor 6A Launched With Android Nougat and Snapdragon 430 SoC

Honor 6A has been unveiled by Huawei in China with price tags of CNY 799 (approx Rs. 7,500) for the 2GB/16GB variant and CNY 999 (approx Rs. 9,400) for the 3GB/ 32GB model of the Honor 6A.

The smartphone is a successor of last year’s Honor 5A and it interestingly comes with a few noteworthy changes. For starters, Honor 6A comes with a metallic back panel rather than a plastic back, but the smartphone is still not fully metallic and you will find plastic on Honor 6A’s body.

While Honor 6 has been a game changer for the Chinese manufacturer in the mid-budget segment, Honor 6A is expected to spread Huawei’s roots in a more competitive as well as one of the most famous categories, the sub-Rs 10,000 segment, as per Indian market.

However, Honor 6A’s Indian launch date has not been revealed as of now but it will surely make a touchdown here and when it does that, Honor 6A will go directly against the likes of Xiaomi Redmi 4A, Micromax Canvas Mega 2 Plus, Lenovo K6 Power and even the Redmi Note 4, which is believed to be have sold more than a million units in India.

But to compete with a bunch of smartphones that have already made their mark in the sub-Rs 10,000 segment, Honor 6A will have to had ‘it’ and by the looks of it, the smartphones seems to pack a nice package.
