Huawei has quietly launched the Honor 6C Pro smartphone in Russia, the bigger sibling of the mid-range Honor 6C the company launched earlier this year. Even as the Honor 6C Pro looks identical to the Honor 6C, there are some noticeable changes.
The Honor 6C Pro runs Android 7.0 Nougat with company’s homegrown EMUI 5.1 skin atop. It will come in Black, Gold and Blue colour options. The Honor 6C Pro is priced at EUR 179 (roughly Rs. 13,750). It will be first available in European markets.
It features a 5.2-inch HD (720×1280 pixels) display in a unibody form factor. The Honor 6C Pro is powered by an octa-core MediaTek MT6750 clocked at 1.5GHz with Mali-T860MP2 GPU, and 3GB of RAM.
On the photography front, you’re looking at a 13-megapixel rear camera with an aperture of f/2.2 and autofocus capability. On the front end, there is an 8-megapixel sensor for selfie enthusiasts on the Honor 6C Pro.
On the storage front, the Honor 6C Pro ships with 32GB of inbuilt storage, which can be expanded via microSD card (up to 128GB). There is a standard Micro-USB port, a headphone jack on top, and a fingerprint scanner on the back as well.
The Honor 6C Pro can either house two SIM cards at once, or a SIM card and the microSD card slot, according to a listing on a Russian blog. The handset supports 4G LTE. There is a 3000mAh battery to keep the device ticking all day. The Russia launch was first reported by Helpix.
