Huawei Honor 6X release date leaked; What we know so far on Honor 5X successor

Huawei's upcoming budget smartphone Honor 6X is expected to be released initially in China next month.

Earlier in the month, reports emerged that Huawei's sub-brand Honor is getting the official nod from the Chinese telecom authority TENAA for the Honor 6X. Now, the device is expected to make its official debut in a few weeks.

As per the sources of MTK technology blog, Huawei is slated to host a product launch event to unveil the Honor 6X on October 18.

Last year, Honor 5X was a huge hit, as it offered top-end features at a nominal price. Now, Huawei Honor is said to be taking a step further for its successor, especially in terms of build quality and camera features.

It is believed that Honor 6X will have all-metal uni-body design language with all-metal cover on the back and a dual-camera module on the rear similar to Xiaomi's Redmi Pro series.

With dual-snappers in place, users will be able to test their photography skills with Bokeh effect feature, which has become a norm in all phones having two cameras.

How Bokeh effect works?

For those unaware, The bokeh effect is a SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera feature.

For instance, when a user takes a shot using Xiaomi device, the device's primary camera takes high-quality sharp image of the subject, while secondary snapper captures in-depth information of the subject's surrounding and de-focuses the background, to make it look blurry.

Other expected features of Honor 6X include 5.5-inch full HD (1920x1080p) display, fingerprint sensor (on the back, below camera), Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 octa-core CPU, 2GB/3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage.

In a related development, Huawei is scheduled to launch the company's flagship Honor 8 in India on September 28.

The Honor 8 sports a 5.2-inch Full HD display with 2.5D curved glass shield. On the back, it houses a dual 12MP rear camera module at the back, with dual-LED flash, f/2.2 aperture and Laser autofocus. On the front, an 8MP shooter with f/2.4 aperture is placed on the top right corner.
