"With the launch today, Honor 6X has become India's most low priced smartphone at Rs. 12,999 apiece with dual camera in the back. Having said that, it does not matter how many cameras you add to the phone as long as it delivers value to users," Wang said.

Honor 6X comes with Huawei's Kirin 655 octa-core chipset with four cores having computing speed of 2.1GHz and another four clocked at 1.7GHz. It has a 3,340mAh battery promising up to 11.5 hours of video, 70 hours of music, or up to 8 hours of gaming on one full charge.

The registration for the 3GB version of the phone would begin on Amazon from 2pm till January 31 and a flash sale will be held on February 2 at 2pm.
Wang said that the top model of Honor 6X will be available by the end of this month but the company is yet to decide on its sales model.
He said that Huawei will start making Honor 6X in India from the first week of February.
"We are already making Honor Holly 3 here. Now, Honor 6X will also be manufactured here," Wang said.
He said that in line with Indian government's regulation, Honor 6X will support 14 local languages including Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, and Punjabi and comes with a panic button.
