Honor 6X review: A $250 phone that feels like a million bucks

Battery life, processing power, and a headphone jack are all features to consider when shopping for a new phone. Most importantly, does the phone look good, feel responsive, and take great pictures?

But as budget phones continue to get smarter, another important question has emerged: Is it worth it? With high-end phones creeping into the four-figure range, it’s a question that’s begun to take on considerable weight. We expect a Galaxy S7 to have a better processor, camera, and display than a Galaxy A5, but is it twice or even three times as good? Or are we just paying extra because of its top-of-the-line specs and branding?

These are the questions that popped into my head when I picked up the Honor 6X for the first time. Right off the bat I was impressed. Had I not known the price, I would have probably guessed its price was similar to the OnePlus 3T, somewhere in the $450 range. It’s build and feature set feels more like mid-range offering than a budget one, and even with a higher price tag than its $200 predecessor, it still punches above its weight.
