Honor X6c

The Honor X6c has a standard, non-folding form factor measuring 164 mm tall, 75.6 mm wide, and 8.4 mm thick, with a total volume of 104.15 cm³ and a weight of 199 g. It carries an IP64 rating, meaning it offers solid protection against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction, though it does not feature a rugged build designed for more demanding environments.

The Honor X6c features a 6.61″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1604 px and a pixel density of 266 ppi, paired with a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother on-screen motion. The display does not include branded damage-resistant glass, and it lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, so color and contrast capabilities remain at a standard level. There is no Always-On Display mode and no secondary screen present on this device.

The Honor X6c is powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra chipset, built on a 12 nm process with 5,500 million transistors and an 8-thread CPU configuration using big.LITTLE technology — two cores clocked at 2 GHz and six cores at 1.8 GHz, with a turbo speed of 2 GHz and a TDP of 5W. Graphics are handled by the integrated Mali G52 MP2 GPU with 2 execution units, 32 shading units, and a turbo frequency of 950 MHz, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2.0. The device comes with 8 GB of DDR4 RAM running at 1800 MHz across 2 memory channels, delivering a maximum bandwidth of 13.41 GB/s, alongside 256 GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, with L2 and L3 caches of 0.3 MB and 1 MB respectively. It supports 64-bit processing, integrated LTE, TrustZone security, and scores 287,544 on AnTuTu, 1,391 on Geekbench 6 multi-core, and 420 on Geekbench 6 single-core.

The Honor X6c features a single-lens 50 MP rear camera with an f/1.8 aperture and a CMOS sensor, supporting phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, and continuous autofocus during video recording, though it lacks optical image stabilization, laser autofocus, and a back-illuminated sensor. Manual controls include exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while burst mode, HDR, panorama, and slow-motion video recording are also on board; however, manual shutter speed, RAW capture, and 360° panorama are not available. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30 fps, with no support for HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording, and a single LED flash — neither dual-tone nor RGB — handles low-light situations. On the front, there is a 5 MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture, no LED flash, and a standard single-lens setup positioned above the display rather than underneath it.

The Honor X6c ships with Android 15 and brings a solid set of privacy and usability features, including clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking — though Mail Privacy Protection, cross-site tracking blocking, and Wi-Fi password sharing are not present. On the customization side, it supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and customizable notifications, while practical tools like split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, Live Text, and the ability to play games while they download are all included. On-device machine learning is supported alongside offline voice recognition and voice commands, and the system accommodates multiple user accounts, a child lock, app offloading, phone tracking, and sharing intents. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not available, and focus modes and Quick Start are also absent from the feature set.

The Honor X6c is equipped with a 5300 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 35W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. Wireless charging is not available, but the device does feature a battery level indicator to help keep track of remaining charge.

The Honor X6c includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack for wired audio connections, but it does not feature stereo speakers, relying instead on a single speaker output. On the wireless audio side, none of the advanced Bluetooth codecs — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — are supported, and there is no built-in radio tuner.

The Honor X6c supports 4G cellular connectivity — there is no 5G — with download speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s and upload speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s, and it accommodates two SIM cards alongside an external memory slot for additional storage. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.1, and NFC, while the USB Type-C port operates at USB 2.0 speeds; HDMI output and DLNA certification are not included. For location, the device has GPS with Galileo support and an accelerometer, but lacks a gyroscope, compass, and barometer. Biometric security is handled by a fingerprint scanner, with no 3D facial recognition or iris scanner present, and there is no stylus, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, ANT+ support, crash detection, satellite SOS, or built-in projector.

The Honor X6c includes a video light to assist with illumination during video recording, while its display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
