It might only be heading to China, but Huawei has announced a very impressive device. The Honor 6 was unveiled earlier today, featuring a 5-inch 1080p display. Although it runs Android 4.4.2 at its core, the Honor 6 is covered with Huawei's custom user interface. The impressive part about the Honor 6 is its inside components. Four A15 and four A7 cores make up the Kirin 920 octa-core processor paired with 3GB of RAM. Along with 16GB or 32GB of internal storage, there is a microSD slot. On the back is a 13MP camera and the front-facing one is 5MP.

Huawei also focused on the look and feel of the device. The Honor 6 sports an aluminum construction. The aluminum construction was chosen with a purpose, too, in order to keep the device cool by spreading the heat. In addition to this construction, Huawei made sure the Honor 6 looks appealing from the front by slimming the bezel on the sides. The display takes up 75.7% of the front. The entire device is also 6.55mm thick.
