Earlier this week, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor launched the Honor 6X in India. The handset will take on the likes of Xiaomi’s popular Redmi Note 4, Moto G4 Plus, and Lenovo’s K6 Note. Unlike its peers, though, the Honor 6X manages to set itself apart by offering a dual-lens camera setup at the rear.

On paper, the Honor 6X specs might not look as impressive as the Redmi Note 4 or the Lenovo K6 Note, but the handset is able to stand on its own solely due to its dual-camera setup and performance. And unlike the previous years, Huawei has managed to price the Honor 6X competitively as well.
