The Honor 6X is a bargain among flagships

Time was, spending less than £300 on a smartphone meant risking a rough ride through shoddy components and sub-par performance. No more: the Honor 6X (£224, out now) is the latest in a line of pound-friendly phones – and it brings some serious specs to the table. Sure, its design is hardly revolutionary, but there’s no arguing with an octa-core chip, two-day battery life and a dual lens camera setup that should deliver stellar snaps, whatever the weather. It’ll be a boon for the impatient, too, unlocking in just 0.3 seconds via the fingerprint reader. Talk about getting your money’s worth.

About

Fraser used to wear a Psion Series 3 palmtop in a shoulder holster. Perhaps he still does.Either way, his lifelong mission - including fourteen years for Stuff - has been to see whether the consumer electronics industry can ever replicate that kind of cyborgian joy.So far: nope. Despite a plan to combine a action camera and Olympus Eye-Trek goggles to become Man Who Sees The Vision Of A Man Three Inches Taller Than Himself.He also likes mountain bikes, motorbikes, cars, helicopters. Still thinks virtual surround is witchcraft. Dislikes jetskis, despite never having been on one.
