Honor is expanding its affordable 5G smartphone collection with the discreet launch of the Honor X6d in the UAE. This new device shares many core features with the Honor Play 60A, which was released in China late last year, bringing a similar set of entry-level specifications to a new audience. The Honor X6d features a spacious 6.75-inch HD+ display, a capable MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, 4GB of RAM, a impressive 50-megapixel rear camera, and a substantial 5,260mAh battery.
Honor X6d: Pricing and Market Release
In the UAE, the Honor X6d carries a price tag of AED 509, which translates to approximately Rs. 12,600. This pricing applies to the model featuring 4GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, currently available through online retailer Jumbo.ae. Consumers can choose between two stylish colors: Midnight Black and Ocean Cyan. As of now, Honor has not announced any intentions to launch this device in other international markets, including India.
Honor X6d: Key Specifications and Standout Features
The Honor X6d boasts a vibrant 6.75-inch HD+ LCD display. Under the hood, it’s driven by a 6nm octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, complemented by 4GB of RAM and a generous 256GB of built-in storage. While impressive, there’s no official confirmation yet regarding expandable storage capabilities. The device ships with Android 15, enhanced by Honor’s custom MagicOS 9 interface.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the Honor X6d’s camera setup. It includes a powerful 50-megapixel main rear camera with an f/2.0 aperture, capable of recording crisp 1080p videos at 30 frames per second. For selfies and video calls, the front houses a 5-megapixel camera with an f/2.2 aperture.
A substantial 5,260mAh battery powers the Honor X6d, ensuring extended usage. However, specific details regarding its charging capabilities are still under wraps. The phone supports dual SIM functionality, and while not explicitly detailed on the product page, essential connectivity features such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are expected to be included.
Design-wise, the Honor X6d sports a contemporary look with prominent bezels and a central waterdrop-style notch on the front housing the selfie camera. The rear panel, which has a matte finish, elegantly contrasts with a glossy, square-shaped camera module located in the top-left corner. This module proudly displays two large circular cutouts and an LED flash. The device also features flat sides, where the power and volume buttons are conveniently positioned on the right edge.
