Huawei Honor 6S
The Chinese OEM is
looking to broaden options even further with an even more affordable variant of
the handset. It will likely be called the Honor 6S and is said to cost around US$ 120 or US$ 130.
Other info on the device is still fuzzy, but from
the provided renders, it is at least clear that the dual-camera setup is gone.
That alone might be enough to bring the cost down to the suggested level, so we
can only assume most other specs will be shared between the pair. That would
include things like a 5.5-inch FullHD display, 4G and VoLTE support, a hybrid
SIM slot and a sizable 3340 mAh battery.
As for the chipset, the rumor does also mention a
Snapdragon 435 SoC. It is one of the chips that came along with the Snapdragon
625, in Qualcomm's refresh earlier this year. Sadly, unlike the latter model,
the 435 isn't based on a 14nm process, but rather on an older 28nm one. That
means less power efficiency can be expected out of the eight Cortex-A53 cores.
