Earlier in November we reported about the Honor 6X getting certification in China already. Now Huawei announced to launch the new Huawei Honor 6 on 16th of December, most probably as the Honor 6 Plus.

The phone specs leaked already on ANTUTU pre Launch. The Huawei Honor 6 Plus will sport Huawei’s own Kirin 925 Chipset, with 1.8 GHz 8-Core CPU and a powerful Mali-T628 GPU. The Kirin 925 has four Cortex A15 cores and four Cortex A7 cores. Huawei’s Kirin CPU’s are actually quite strong in terms of raw processing power.

The Kirin 920 in the Honor 6 was able to beat the Snapdragon 801 easily in Benchmarks, was lacking in the GPU department though. Lets hope the new GPU will be stronger. Other specs include a 5.5″ screen with Full HD resolution of 1920×1080. Also you get 3GB of RAM and LTE Cat.6 networks support.

The main attraction and unique selling point of the Honor 6 Plus is the Dual Rear Camera Setup though. The Honor 6 Plus will get two 8MP Rear Cameras with Dual LED FLash. We need to wait till launch to see how the Dual Cameras are integrated, but it could be like HTC DUO Camera with extra depth-of-field effect or 3D effect for your pictures.

According to the Chinese Media the Huawei Honor 6 Plus will be priced at 3299 Yuan, which is around 536 USD or 1840RM and would be a strategy change for Huawei. At the moment the Honor Brand is for the more affordable and hip smartphone series and 536USD is quite expensive, especially compared to the competition of Meizu and Xiaomi.
