Huawei Honor 6 Review

Featuring a big 5-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels Lenovo K920 , the Huawei Honor 6 will never let you run out of screen space. The HD resolution is the icing on the cake which has a massive pixel density of 445 pixels per inch. The brightness levels are excellent but the phone lacks the best viewing angles because it has no IPS display. Playing games is always fun because of the increased yet compact screen size you get and you can even conveniently watch movies which doubles it up as a good entertainment device as well.
The Huawei phone is powered by a Krin 920 Octa core processor with a massive 3GB of RAM and it uses Mali T628 MP4 graphics processing unit. That’s really good on paper and it shows in real life too. The phone is snappy to use in most situations and can easily withstand any app you throw it. It also handles 1080p videos easily, resource rich games and multi-tasking effortlessly. We didn’t find any lagging in the phone so far and it is definitely a great device for daily usage. You can rely it on for all your activities.
A strong 13 megapixel camera with dual LED flash is integrated in the back which is one of the weakest points of the device. Just don’t expect it to create some amazing pictures because most of them even in brightly lit conditions looked washed out and didn’t reproduce colors or clarity as we wanted it to. While the device excels in almost every other area, this is something of a drawback that you have to put up with.
The 3100 mAh battery can last even more than a day if you use it normally and will go below it, if you are a power user. Use the battery saving mode if you like to gain more juice out of it.
The Huawei Honor 6 priced within Rs 20,000 has some great highlights including the exclusive user interface, great looking display and ample RAM that makes its processes just awesome! The design looks good and shows excellent performance which makes it a must buy if you looking for a phone at this price point. 
The smartphone market is becoming increasingly crowded with a lot of new manufacturers jumping into the race yet the Indian market is always open to embrace new arrivals, if they are good and has a justified price tag. First, it was Moto G and the Xiaomi that took the top position. Now, the question is will the Huawei Honor 6 be able to take the market by storm and make heads turns? Let’s explore its potential and specific advantages over other models.
The Huawei Honor 6 is a physically impressive phone because it looks really good with a premium white finish and has metal chassis on the sides lenovo A708t. The design is minimalistic yet the sleek form of the phone and its mere 130 grams of weight makes it a great choice for people who love sleek devices. It resembles a lot of the iPhone 4 but it is a given that inspirations often come from Apple. Buttons and ports are ideally placed whereas the back is glossy which sometimes leads to a very unsure grip.

Samsung’s Galaxy S5, Galaxy S4, Note 3

In concordance with Christian Today, the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update for the mentioned Samsung devices will come with bug fixes, security enhancements along with other specific tweaks. The users will need to have 285MB lenovo A708t of free space, as the Android update requires 285MB to update to the 4.4.4 KitKat version. Also, they need to have a secure connection and sufficient battery to avoid installment problems occurred due to the low battery (device shutdown, etc).

When your device will be eligible for update, you will get a notification saying so. When you get it you can tap “Download Now” and then select “Install Now”. However, there are other ways to update by using Samsung KIES and manual installation. For the manual installation go to Settings->More->About phone->Software updates->Check for software updates.
According to Android Geeks, Samsung is also preparing to release their Android L update for devices such as the Galaxy S5 in late November or early December.
If you own a Samsung Galaxy S5, Galaxy S4, Note 3 or a Grand 2, then you should be happy that your device is getting an Android 4.4.4 KitKat update very soon. According to Samsung, they already finished the first phase of the Android 4.4.4 update. Some of the eligible devices might already have access to the update while others don’t have, depending on your carrier and where you are from.
It seems that Google wants to finish the rollout of their Android 4.4.4 as soon as possible, since the Android 5.0 Lollipop is right around the corner. The big search engine company has already completed the testing of Android 4.4.4 KitKat on Samsung Galaxy S5 even if the version should be released for this device later this month. The latest available Android version will be released for both Asian (G900I) and European (900F) models. The others models that are included in the October update are: Note 3 LTE GNO005 and Note 3 N900.
The same documents shows that the Galaxy Note 3 Neo, Galaxy S4 I9500 and Galaxy S4 I9505 will also get the Android 4.4.4 update lenovo A880 sometime in November. However, Samsung doesn’t have yet a schedule for the S4 Mini I9190, S4 Mini Duos I9192, Note 2 LTE N7105, Note 2 N7100, Grand 2 G7105 and Grand 2 Duos G7102.

China 4G smartphone

China-based CoolPad, which turned all its smartphone product lines to support 4G lenovo A708t in the first half, accumulated a large excess inventory of 4G smartphones in the channel from January-April. Since its sales in the third quarter remained weak, the vendor's orders to its upstream supply chain were greatly reduced for the quarter.
Lenovo, which started launching 4G smartphones at the end of the second quarter, had issues with 3G inventory from the first half and saw its shipments impacted in the third quarter. Seeing demand for 4G models remaining unclear, the vendor is taking a conservative approach about placing 4G orders.
Xiaomi, which saw its ranking increase significantly in the first half, also faced weak 4G smartphone demand in the third quarter. The vendor's 4G-based Hongmi sales did not stand out, causing its quarterly shipments to fail to achieve as strong a growth as before.
China's smartphone market is seeing mild growth in 2014 because the market has already reached a plateau. Even with China telecom carriers' plans to push mid-range and entry-level 4G smartphones in the fourth quarter, which will boost CoolPad, Lenovo and Xiaomi's 4G smartphone shipments, it will be traded with a significant reduction in 3G model shipments.
As a result, the three China-based first-tier vendors, which still heavily rely on domestic sales, are unlikely to achieve their shipment goals for 2014.
After visiting China's smartphone industry in August and September, Digitimes Research found that demand for 4G smartphones in China did not rise as expected and most vendors' domestic shipments did not achieve any growth.
Digitimes Research estimates that even if China's top-three telecom carriers strengthen their promotions for the fourth quarter, vendors that focus mainly on domestic shipments such as CoolPad, Lenovo and Xiaomi, are still unlikely to achieve their shipment targets for 2014.
With China Mobile's TD-LTE service starting to operate at the end of 2013, China-based smartphone lenovo A880 vendors originally expected 4G smartphone demand to improve significantly in the third quarter after seeing the business opportunity fail to take off in the first half, but demand did not improve as expected in the third quarter.

HTC One M9

The HTC One M8 is great in low light as its lens lets more light in than competing smartphone cameras, but when you're trying to take photos in bright conditions all the extra light it takes in actually seems to work against it, causing the image to over-expose.
One M8 camera
On top of that it's only got a 4MP sensor lenovo A708t , which is fine when you're just viewing shots on your phone, but blow them up and there'll be noticeable noise.
So ideally we want more megapixels and a sensor which is as adept in bright light as low light. It almost seems like HTC itself might be moving away from UltraPixels, given that the HTC One Mini 2 and the HTC One E8 both have 13MP snappers, so we might well see a big change to the camera in the HTC One M9.
A QHD display
The HTC One M8 has a gorgeous screen, but it's very much an early 2014 screen, as the LG G3 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 are now bringing QHD (1440 x 2560) displays to the mainstream.
All those extra pixels don't make a huge difference but it is a noticeable one and if the HTC One M9 doesn't have a QHD display then it risks being overlooked, because you can be almost certain that the competition will.
Since we're talking about the screen, how about making it with sapphire crystal glass? The HTC One M9 is bound to be expensive, so many people are going to want to put it in a case to keep it protected, but it's also bound to be a thing of beauty so it would be a shame to cover it up.
The more durable it is the less necessary that becomes and a sapphire crystal screen would help a lot. The iPhone 6 didn't have one in the end, so if the HTC One M9 does it could also be the first mainstream smartphone to do so, which would surely be a big selling point.
So far we know very little about the HTC One M9. In fact aside from the possibility that some of the features from the MIA HTC One M8 Prime might make it across, we don't really know anything at all.
That phone was supposedly going to have a QHD display, a Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, a waterproof body and more megapixels in the camera, all of which would make sense for the HTC One M9, but we've heard no mention of them in relation to it.
Still whatever its specs end up being we're sure it will be great, after all the HTC One M8 is sitting pretty at the top of our list of the ten best phones in the world. Not even the iPhone 6 could unseat it and we were similarly fond of the original HTC One last year.
The HTC One M8 isn't perfect though, there's always room lenovo A880 for improvement and technology has moved on since it launched, so with that in mind here's what we want to see in the HTC One M9.
We were pretty impressed by the battery life of the HTC One M8, but the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Sony Xperia Z2 had it beat, while it looks like the Sony Xperia Z3 and the Xperia Z3 Compact might well widen the gap even further.
So we'd love for the HTC One M9 to have more juice. We don't think two days of battery life should be unrealistic, after all the HTC One M8 and a number of other phones can already comfortably make it into a second day, they just need a bit of a boost to make it to the end of the day.
If HTC can deliver even more than that then great, but we'd be happy with two days, at least until the M10 comes around.
